The freedom rocks. Now I know what Mel Gibson was REALLY referring to at the end of Braveheart!

Hawaii does have SOME advantages. Though, being from Indianapolis... I think I'd STILL go kilted in a real winter.

Indeed a labor of love. As in I love the look on my wifes face when I wear a kilt. ;) The looks from others are entertaining as well.

I'm actually contemplating getting what you see here: http://www.alexismalcolmkilts.bigste...generic24.html
I'd like to have that done in the Navy tartan. I also want to get a "Dolphins" kilt pin: http://www.alexismalcolmkilts.bigste...ersKiltPin.JPG
(I want mine in silver, though, as opposed to gold)

Enjoy your stay at xmarks....
Cheers

I'll trade you places. Frankly, after having spent 5 years here, I've had enough. Actually... I had had enough after one year.

This just isn't the place for a corn fed Hoosier boy! lol

I could think of plenty.

Likely not... One guy even gave me a weird look when I mentioned I was a budding Rennie.

Hmmm... looking now!

Welcome to XMarks from the Mts. of Utah.
I got stuck in Honolulu for 4 days (long story) trying to get back to the states on stand-by. It was better than being stuck in Lybia guarding airplanes with a flash light and a whistle??? for 3 nights.

Welcome from another squid. I am currently in the Navy reserves. I spent six years active duty as a nuclear components welder. I repaired subs.

Welcome to XMarks. I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman during the Vietnam War. Sounds like great duty being stationed in Hawaii.

Welcome to XMarks. I was Army enlisted in the mid 80's through Desert Storm (all stateside), but I have a lot of respect for the Navy (even if it IS the inferior service

).

Welcome aboard. You'll find all you need to know about kilts on this foum. Served in the Navy from 66 - 70. Great time! BTW davedove, if you control the seas, you control the world!!! ALLNAV

Okay, now that I have someone's attention...

I'd like to add an Avatar to my signature. Particularly one of my Clan Badge (MacNicol), but where do I find that? Obviously, a bunch of us already have. But, where do I go for this??

Thanks,
