Commander's discretion. I never had this problem, since every commander I had took one look at my ginger ass and said "NO! You, sleeves down. End of story." At least it kept the ticks at bay.

It isn't the "sleeves down" rule making troops hot, its the fact that they use the same material on a ACU top that they do to keep Astronauts from Freezing to death on the Moon when Temps hit -400 deg F.
ISIS, GRU, Boko Haram, AQIM, IMU, and any number of extremist organizations for us and our allies to battle on a moment's notice.

I don't know during the '80's it was pretty standard, in garrison you could roll your sleeves up if you wanted and in the field it was sleeves down regardless. I'm not even sure why this would even be an issue, seems kind of chicken shit to me.
Whining to the Army Times and the Army Times actually publishing the story about it. How are you not horribly embarrassed to be quoted in the story? Unbelievable.
