I think it's great we are being allowed to roll sleeves again, but we need to do it the way we did BDUs. What do you think?

In the photo you can see this Soldier is wearing it rolled like the Marines wear theirs. I think we need to go back to the way we rolled with BDUs, where the cuff was to the outside. It looks better , and you can just tug the cuff down to easily access your long sleeves when you needed them.

Apparently I missed this ALRACT or I am being punked?
In BDUs it looked good and worked well. With these enormous sleeve pockets (Thanks 1 cav) it's going to be stupid.

You would think by now they would have developed a removeable sleeve jacket and just carry them in cargo pockets.

What we really need is a short sleeve version of the OCP. That's lighter and breathable that is designed for garrison use.

IF YOU NEED TO PULL DOWN THE SLEEVE IN AN EMERGENCY, YOU SIMPLY GRAB THE EDGE AND PULL AND YOU ARE DONE.

Rolled sleeves with that uniform look like shit no matter how you roll them.

I agree the BDU way looks better but I'm
Not sure it would work with the Velcro and pockets. Also, I think the ACU design was never meant for rolled sleeves. Lastly, I'm 35 and at 30, I had the top of my left ear removed because of melanoma, likely caused from wearing the dumb beret all those years. We need to be thinking about clothing that's protective.
