I've been issued an Infantry Cap Badge, solely to differentiate me from the enlisted in the BMQ coming up at the Armoury... I have been told I will be issued my balmoral and Highlanders Badge following BMQ completion in April... When I officially become 2LT. I will not, however, receive my kilt until I complete my summer courses...

you can't tell from this shot, but at 6'5" 250 lbs, they could not issue me my full kit as my size was in issue... 
haha

The whole point of speaking in code is for it not to be obvious to the uninitiated.

haha Congrats and the first thing you should learn about the military is that, when it comes to clothing "one size fits all".
Don't believe me. I'll send you some of pics from my basic training.
