I am such a happy guy right now. I just received an email from Matt Newsome over at the Scottish Tartan Museum;
[I]I just spoke to the woolen mill on the phone today and they have completed The Operation Iraqi Freedom; PSD Tartan and are getting ready to send it out to me. I usually get these packages in 10 to 14 days or so. So we are almost there![/I]

I can just feel the swish of the scottish wool on my legs now. Although, by the time Matt ships it to me, it will be 130 degrees in Baghdad, I can deal with that. I am sure we will wear them for a few adult beverages in the common room, and of course, the plan is to wear it home in August at my end of mission.
