I wish the Leatherneck would become offical
it would look kick @$$ with Marines in a pipe and drum band
who would mess with us in kilts anyway?
Just for the record, there is a pipe band of Marine vets---but think "dress blues" kilt ... it's very striking:
Perhaps if the Corps adopted the Leatherneck tartan, they'd use it, too.
There are active-service USMC pipers, but I don't know whether they have any official organization.

Hey, what great news. I got mine...a USA Kilts semi-trad in U.S. Army tartan.
Have a West Point tartan shirt from L.L. Bean too....probably too much to wear the West Point tartan shirt with the U.S. Army tartan kilt....even to celebrate....
