New Vegas: Making a Legionnaire

[Zydrate]

After further research, even with my very anti-slavery self, I found the Legion to be moderately acceptable. (In games or out, I do not like slavery. In fact I usually wiped out Paradise Falls even on my evil characters)... I also feel it's a bit realistic that in all of old Rome's glory... I'm fairly certain there were a scattered few who tried treating their slaves a bit more human.
I'm going to be one of those, even though I really can't mechanic wise. But it gives me the moral minimum to at least playthrough as a Legionnaire.

So I need some help;

I'd like to get a set of armor as earliest as possible. One thought is to kill off the first ones you encounter (but that would send assassins at me a time or two until I get to House), and use that stuff. The wiki hasn't been terribly helpful in this matter.
I'd also like to know if NCR becomes constantly hostile. I mean, I put on Caesar's outfit on one of my characters right in front of Boone and I wasn't "If Red, It's Dead".
Though, if I have enough ammunition I don't mind wiping the NCR out. Which brings me to another question; wouldn't that lock me out of like, the first half of the main quests? I haven't actually beaten the game but the first ten levels or so are very NCR-heavy.

I'd also like to find out how much I miss if I make this a female character.

Any tips regarding this matter will be helpful.

edit: yes wearing legion armour will make the ncr want to kill you BUT if you tske it off they will stop shooting you UNLESS you killed a lot of ncr troops whilst not wearing another factions armour.

As long as the NCR troops aren't hulking level 20's with thousands of hitpoints, I may be able to take them.

You want a female character to side with the legion? I doubt such a character would get a chance to treat any slaves with humanity =/

If you want legion armor, I would have followed vulpes after nipton until he or one of his men is killed. After that, hug roads till you see some merchants and legionnares fighting, and you don't need to risk infamy with the legion.

Legion Infamy is cleared once I get to Vegas anyway.
