Then I wish to thank you first for your service to your country and to say how glad I am to know you as Black Watch!
To all others in the XMS community in the service to their country (whatever the country) I wish to thank you as well. There are many in your country that support you. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Thanks, I, as I'm sure those others, appreciate that.

You chaps might be amused at the little "talking to" that I and many others had at our first parade as Officer Cadets,many many years ago.It was delivered by a Sergeant instructor of the Scots Guards.I made a note of it after the parade.Anyway here it is:-"Now listen to me you benighted muckers.We're going to teach you soldiering.The world's noblest profession.When we're done with you, you'll be able to slaughter your enemies like civilized men."I was never too sure about the "civilized "bit.

Promptly stored away for future use - I wish you knew the name of the Sergeant.
Thanks for posting this bit of wisdom!

Time to pipe in here. There is a Canadian team - Peacekeepers that wear Black Watch on the field a copy are members on this forum. They went with SWK standard. Another opion as USAKilts are so backlogged is Canadian Casual Kilts - MacHummel on board here. I'm will be playing this year kilted in MultiCam, played last year with sporran but not kilted. The sporran was for protection but wasn't the first time I hit the dirt . I would reconsider the SWK personally, it's cheaper and you don't need to fully wash after every outing. Would also recommend sliding shorts for the benefit of your team who are covering your six.
