Rolled Sleeves in the Army
Word has recently come out that the Army is authorizing the rolling of the ACU sleeve now, with certain exceptions. What are the thoughts of the rolled sleeve in the ACU? Furthermore, what are the thoughts exempting those with sleeve or below the elbow tattoos that have already been grandfathered in, being restricted from being able to roll their sleeves?

Good job!!!! We were laughing in our office here waiting to see how many caught on!!!!! We were all a little surprised with some responses we got considering it should have been obvious with "Sgt. Maj. James B. Dean, Army Uniform Board sleeve task force president"

That, and the final line of the article...
"The Army's 'sleeves up' will begin April Fool's Day, 2014."

lol - the final test for awareness and comprehension. Lets just be glad we aren't basing any necessary scores off of something like this. I fear the numbers of those failing would greatly hinder our fighting force!

Rolled sleeves rock... for garritroopers. I'm not a ginger, but I've got plenty in my family, so I burn pretty easy. Even in BDUs I didn't like rolling up my sleeves. It felt hotter because even with my noodle arms it actually restricted ventilation and led to more sun exposure. On Okinawa in the summer, the guys in the know kept their BDU sleeves down, like the natives. If guys want to roll their sleeves, I really don't care. Just don't make me do it when the sun feels like it's two feet from my head.
