If you're going to get on the roof, go all the way, take your pipes with you. They'd complete the look for your photo.

Nice looking kilt. It's good to see Tiger Stripes are back again.

Thank you for your service from an old grunt.

Great looking kilt! Does it have Air Force Gloves*, er, I mean pockets?

LOL! In the Air Force we call them "Army Gloves"!

I've actually been all the way to the top of the palace, and I think I know just the spot for the photo And of course I'll be taking my pipes with me! I might even play them a bit while I'm there!

There will be no "staying low" for me while playing the pipes! I'll stand tall and proud as I play! I'm pretty sure anyone who might object is more likely to try and cite me with a noise violation rather than shoot at me. Still, I might want to wear my body armor just in case And thank you Andrew for the compliment and New Years wishes. I had a pretty good Hogmany, all things told. I hope everyone else did too.

I do admit the tiger stripe looks better than are ACU's. Good luck with the pipes and have a safe deployment.
