    A dream realized!

    Last night, I got my full uniform for my pipe band, Clan MacApline Pipes and Drums. I have always wanted to pipe in a full military uniform, and now, well, here's the photos.

    Yes, it needs some slight adjustment. I hastily put it on all by myself this morning. Once I have my bandmates help me with it, I'm sure I'll look much better.

    yes, you look very smart and you can see that you are very proud of your uniform and quite rightly so, congratulations.
    also congratulations for your newspaper article, it was very good and complimentary towards you. I only wish I had your talent and musical ability but you are putting your talents to great use, again comgratulations.

    Dang Boy 'ya look good Untill I studied your pictures I don't think I relized how spats set off the lower part of the uniform. All in all i'd say you look sharp. And we all know the gals go nuts over a man in uniform
