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.

Unless they re-configure the sleeve design somewhat, not sure the current uniforms can effectively be rolled the way we used to roll the BDUs/DCUs, so I would say to roll them in the same manner as the Marines do.

If I had a choice I would go for the Marines style because it's simpler. As long as it makes functional sense and doesn't impede range of motion. Either way, it's going to take a while to get accustomed to the new look.

Go back to BDU and stop wasting money.

BDU way works only when the cuff is wide enough to do it the old way, other wise the Marine way is fine too, but who listens to a CPT cause that is CSM business!

Great. One more thing to worry about. That's just what soldiers need on top of the other 8000 things they can get griped at for every day in garrison by a CSM with too much time on their hands.
Personally, I have no desire to roll my sleeves. Not because I'm worried about my pen pockets that I never use, but because I'm so damn white that there is no amount of sunscreen at any SPF that will keep me from burning. The entire time I was active I was at Ft Sill (or the Middle East). I had at least a low grade sunburn for over 4 years.

Get a profile for sleeves down. Not too difficult.

Well SFC I think this is a good question. I think each branch has its own ESPRIT DE CORPS and tratitons. I think the army if they go back to rolling up should be the way it was before. Allso if the do make that the standard I am sure the arry will update AR 670-1 to say how to wear.

I was in when it was BDUs and DCUs. In infantry units, we never rolled them, save for a division change of command ceremony one time. I was actually kinda glad the Army did away with sleeve rolling, and don't really think that it should be brought back.

I think people need to stop comparing this with how rolled sleeves looked with BDU's. With the BDU design, rolled sleeves looked neat and professional, if done correctly. I don't think the current top design looks good with rolled sleeves in any configuration.
