I was recently corrected by some one on the fact that my ACU sleeves were not buttoned. I work with some Navy personel and the individual I am referencing is an E-6 and in a squad leader position. My thoughts on that at a different time. This individual saw me with my sleeves buttoned all the way open, ie to there maximum allowed opening size. They stated that I needed to button my sleeves and that it states in 670-1 that the sleeves need to be buttoned. I looked in the regulation and it states nothing of being buttoned, just not rolled or cuffed. I was curious on what your thoughts are on this.

Sergeant Coleman,
DA PAM 670-1 (4-8) says that the ACU coat has a buttoned enclosure "which must be closed at all times". The text seems pretty straight-forward to me, but I could be wrong.

There are 2 buttons on the inside, and one at fully exposed, it says the flap with button hole MUST be on a button, doesn't specify which. Anything else is entirely opinionated and open to interpretation, but the regulation and da pam do NOT state that it must be tight on your wrist. (I must be breaking regulation cuz I just pulled out an old (still new) uniform with velcro instead of buttons, P.S. it actually fit so much better than the newer style, go figure)

First off, DA PAM 670-1 says closed at all times, not buttoned, so you may want to read that again and stop trying to interpret it to fit what you want it to. Second, you are the reason we have issues in this Army, a supposed leader trying to find loop holes instead of doing what he would expect his Soldier to do, follow orders. Let me ask you a question, was what he told you illegal, immoral or unconstitutional in any way, shape or form? Please do us all a favor, mostly importantly, do your Soldiers a favor and get out of the Army.
