Ha! That's funny. Did you all just do that in a residential neighborhood? Lucky dogs! When my friends and I tried that we got a nice talking to by the MPs. To be fair, we were on Post at the time and probably should have known better. Also, you can't trust the damn kids these days anyway...

Good news for me; I found my Trenchcoat, I was wrong, it is dated 1964. Good coat, can't for the life of me remember why I stopped wearing it-planning to go to the St. Patrick's Day Parade in it (raining pretty heavily out at the moment, it'll be good for it).

Been thinking about the unit shoulder patch lately. Apparently it isn't that tough to make one; there's a store at the PX that'll scan images and put 'em onto clothing, so I figure I can do with US did in WWII and just put it on a thin piece of cloth, then cut it out and sow it on. First I have to design it, however. Haven't gotten too far on that (I don't have Photoshop, so it'll be a bit tougher) but I'm thinking of borrowing the unit motto of the Black Watch: " Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" ("No One Provokes Me With Impunity").

That was in the Colonel's yard, shed, and basement. We had a great time making it.

Tankobite, he told me that Out to the Black outfitters should have the Independent triangle patch that you need. Don't use the link in this thread, but go to http://www.outtotheblack.com/patch.html and you can order them.

Thanks River; just ordered 'em.

Maybe when I get back, I'll upload some of the photos of my Trench coat. Very nice coat...
Edit:
The whole coat

Well, I like it anyway.

Mornin' 76th!

Hope everyone got through Monday alright.

Nice lookin' coat Tankobite.

Liking the ideas of a 76th Tartan. We need to hammer out the details on that one Jimi. Not sure I like the thought of a ulitarian, solid color kilt. Plaid! That's the way to go lad!

I was just thinking about that a couple of days ago, Lt. I was going to re-vitalize the thread on the forums, but haven't gotten to it yet. I think plaid is great, I think the hold-up from the last discussion was the actual colors and pattern. :D

I was walking in the park and this guy waved at me. Then he said, "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else." I said, "I am."

Ha, you think that's funny...check out this quote from a Colonel in a Highland Regiment:

Quote:
Join a Highland Regiment, me boy. The kilt is an unrivaled garment for fornication and diarrhea.

LTC John Masters.

Don't know about you guys, but I think my band uses the MacDonnell of Keppoch tartan, so that'll probably be what I use. However, the traditional kilt of the Black Watch might be a good one for ya'll (its dark and green; supposedly of Campbell origin, but I don't really know that much about the clans of Scotland).

I'm thinking about the patch I'll use; I still want to use the Black Watch Motto, but I'm thinking of using the Lancaster rose with that over it. Just tickles me at the moment.

"The Bonnie Blood Red Roses"

Edit: Just got board application approved-should I make my own thread on the roll call section, or is there a roll call thread I missed?

Pattern shouldn't be too difficult and I don't see how it should really matter that much to anyone in particular. The colors on the other hand might cause debate. We could use the colors of the patch maybe.
