Boot Camp Graduation - July 2017 Parris Island Recruit Depot

[Benning Boy]

As a graduate of where else than Benning School for Boys, I'm pretty familiar with summer in the Southeast. If you do go kilted, and your son is OK with that, wear the Leather Neck since a lot of people you'll meet there will ask about your tartan. A woolen one will be about as comfortable as one in P/V, maybe more so. The difference wouldn't be much. Here in Eastern Kansas humidity can be pretty bad. I've worn woolen kilts on these bad days and felt comfortable. Since you're going to a military affair, get a pilot shirt to wear. One looks STRAC with a kilt. You could add a tie to it and look better dressed. I would never consider even wearing a traditional woolen jacket or waistcoat.
