    @oikwen - they were a very friendly group and really seemed to enjoy their visit to the NHHG.

    Re: the Lincoln NH P.D. - my only criticism to the Chief it that they should try and get a more casual day sporran in plain black leather.

    This link also has the Lincoln P.D. mentioned as well as a photo of a kilted officer on a segway.

    First time I looked, I thought - "Wow - that's a big sporran!"

    Well I guess this pretty much solves all the question in other threads about the Ike Jackets and Kilts. they do not look bad. Aside from kilts, does anyone know why the Border Patrol and ICE wear them open like that, even when wearing them as a dress uniform? Is there some traditional reason?

    It has always been that way with the Office of Field Operations (OFO), the guys in blue; and the USBP, the guys in green. Buttoning up the Ike makes a fat man look fatter. There is, as discussed, another ceremonial uniform only for the Honor Guard members, that is a long coat that buttons. The Ike is for the rest of the "everybody", or non- HG events.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has a different uniform. Office of Air and Marine (OAM) has a different uniform. They have both fairly recently approved an official tartan for their P & D to wear. I can't think of ever playing with another ICE member, but we play regularly with both OFO and OAM.

    Never thought they were pipers...haven't heard of a pipe band for the Arizona Dept of Corrections. Impression I had was that they were just kilted up for the games. Hash marks represent years of service. Not sure how many years for each hash mark.
