Hi -- I was in the Navy (US Vietnam Vet) and my son is also currently in the Navy. I don't much care for the Edzel Navy tartan so don't wear it. I was almost sent TAD to the Marine Corps (as a hospital corpsman) and perhaps then could have worn their tartan but alas.... I don't think there is any connection to my service and wearing kilts except perhaps that wearing a Donald Duck suit in public for many years prepares one to be "oddly" (not typically) dressed. This is a great question and I would love to see it put to the members in the form of a "survey" where folks could check off their military affiliations if any but I don't know how to set such a thing up. Moderators Help???
