Questions for the military veterans here

I think if people ask you if you're in the military, just say that you are honoring those in it right now or honoring your ancestors.

What are the rules for the Balmoral, I never knew any existed.

If I were you then I would go with Black Watch tartan as it has several things going for it, first it is an "open tartan" which will mean less hassles from the kilt snobs.

Next it is unmistakeably military without specifying which military where.

Next BW is extreemly common and can be had for less $ than obscure tartans.

Your next best is to discover exactly what tartan your GGGrandpappy wore and go with that.

The Balmoral tartan is reserved for the Royal Family. Unless you mean the hat, in which case there are none!

Oh, I guess it was for the tartan then. I thought it was the hat, for a sec it had me.
