I’m Scottish - why can’t I wear my kilt?
I’m Jamaican - why can’t I have dreadlocks?
I’m Jewish - why can’t I wear my yamaka (sp?)
I’m Japanese - I should get to carry my samuri sword
I’m Mexican - I want my sombrero
I’m Muslim - I shouldn’t have to ride in a vehicle with a woman

Why do we insist on wanting to bend or wills/regulations to satisy everyone? You join the army, you follow the rules. You didn’t get drafted.

I have 14 years in (MAJ US Army Aviation). I see no problems with the current uniform standards. Except the f*cking beret which I along with 90% of the army hate. But that’s another issue.

The USMC has a very sharp kilt: their tartan pattern looks alot like the Macmillan Hunting tartan. Earn the right and you too could wear it.
