    The Colonely wouldnt go for it.

    In 2004 I wrote my Colonel an email explaining the benifits of wearing a kilt in the desert environment. I encluded all the statistics on the number of groin rashes I had treated over the last 8 months or so, and some other fun facts and ideas. I also included a photo of me in my kilt standing on the roof with my #@$% (names of objects being held in my hands deleted as to not offend those with sensativities). It was of course a joke, and I found out that the Colonel also had a sense of humor. He sent me a very professional reply thanking me for my research and recommendations, but explained the limitations with Govt. bids, and contracts and licensiing etc. He did however forward my email and photo to Corporate offices and State Department officials. Some where in Dubai, there is a photo of me in my battle rattle and Kilt next to a water cooler in the break room.
