I'm busted!

Those times you might feel "busted" are actually lucky times because you have the chance to say some educational and/or enlightening words! I love it when someone asks me about my skirt -- I get to spread the word.

It does sound like progress is being made, but hearing stories like this always makes me sad. After all, why should there be so much angst over a piece of cloth -- angst that makes us hide and feel ashamed. It's not like we're injuring anyone with what we wear -- yet sometimes even our own inner-circle make us feel like pariahs.

Indeed,
So this is why when my trusty golden woke me up at 0100 on King Kamahamea day,( Today) I threw on a custom camo cargo skirt and went boldly into the night!
(Had a nice walk, (With My best friend) and no one was about .... shucks!) And my K9 didn't care what I was wearing!

Recently I took in a parcel for our next door neighbour (an elderly lady in her late 80's) and within half an hour she popped round to pick it up. I was wearing a black faux-leather miniskirt and blue tights (wife was out at the time).

She said nothing (may not even have noticed) but thanked me for taking the parcel in. Bit of a scare though!

Skirted Marine. As a former Marine myself, it's great to see another Marine into skirts. They sure to beat those cammies

The first piece of camo print clothing I bought was a Columbia Sportswear skirt!

Roger that!
Thanks for reminding me, Cammies suck in the heat!
I retired a few years ago.
Could you imagine if they allowed a duty kilt? Or perhaps a mens skirt with our dress blues! (THE GIRLS WOULD GO NUCKING FUTZ!)
FREEEEEEDOOOOOM!

That would be interesting indeed.

I keep seeing some kilt-makers offer a USMC tartan, though. I don't know if such a thing exists in any official way, but IMO it should.

Not a kilt and definitely more fanciful but perhaps something along these lines...

Indeed there is a USMC Parton but is unofficial. As far as I know only the US Coast Guard have an official tartan. The other services all have unofficial tart times.
Now here's a thought, take the colors of the dress blue uniforms trousers and Mike that is make a skirt or kilt out of the same colors the skirt could have the red stripe running down the side or if it's a killed one of the plates on each side could be made in red.
I think that would look sharp!
Disclaimer I have never been a marine nor a member of any other of the services. But have a proud family history of military service in the Navy in the Army Air Force and Marines. God bless the mall!
Gentlemen have a good day!

P.S dot that should read pleats not plates and parking is not far! Already fix this once too lazy to go back and do it again please excuse. Dictation is not perfect!

Curiosity question. Is there a dress uniform for female Marines that includes a skirt?

It is skirted, but also dress blues. Daily fatigues are trousered, and standard digital camo.

Yes Sir, There is a Alpha and Charlie Skirt for women Marines, And I should admit that I spent a considerable amount of time trying to get my head under them.
