The Army's continued desire to be more like Marines...

[Ooh-Rah]

Army Chief endorses rolled sleeves on ACUs, launches pilot at Fort Hood

Although this is a mighty poor example of what they should look like...:-"



Keep working at it though boys, you'll get it!

You shit talkin old man, you are lucky I don't let little shit get to me....roll down your sleeves, we're going in the bush!

:wall:

"Launches pilot"? :-/

Did I just dream the 1990s?

 

[Devildoc]

You need a pilot project to roll sleeves? Seriously? Is it followed by cost-benefit analysis, assessment on the risk matrix, and run through a Six-Sigma process??

It gives COL's and SGM's bullet statements and a job until a slot opens somewhere.

 

[DA SWO]

Sooo,
The uniform that's being phased out can have it's sleeves rolled up?
AF never stopped rolling, loved the hate it generated at Ft Scram.

I'm glad I only wear a uniform once-ish a month.

Hey you, get your hands out of your pockets.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Hey you, get your hands out of your pockets.

Actually...it's "Hey Devil! Are your hands cold?"

Don't worry, you Army guys will pick up on the vernacular.

While you are at it, you might want to stock up on these, I'm sure you'll need them in the next few months...

The man's on a Ma Deuce...he can wear his sleeves any goddam way he wants.

Rolled sleeves aren't all they are cracked up to be when you get a hot barrel to the forearm.

I barely remember any other way. By 97-ish we were long sleeves all the time.

We still rolled out sleeves in the 82nd in '04. I remember it made my hands hurt, all that sleeve rolled up around my upper arm was pretty tight.

I think they were pretty tight for most people. It was definitely more uncomfortable than leaving them down.
