What are your thoughts on "rolling sleeves"? Camo in or out?

Besides the fact you may get burned by a shell casing, or eaten by insects if you hit the dirt, or scrape yourself and then have to worry about infections, or have to use more camp paint I'd say go for it!!!

Shell casing burns make you strong.
In all seriousness though, Marines in the field wear their uniforms sleeves down so this is just a garrison uniform initiative for those of us in warmer climates. It's also one hell of a motivator to get people into the weight room. No one wants to see weak, scrawny arms.

No, shell casing burns are proof of negligence!!! They deserve article 15's and a discharge!!!

How about we get Congress to pass a law that the SMA and/or CSA are only allowed to make one change to any Army uniform during their tenure. I've seen OD greens, green fatigues, BDUs, DCUs, ACU UCPs, and ACU OCPs; starch, no starch; yellow PTs, gray PTs, reflective gray and black PTs, black and gold PTs, all with white socks... wait, no, black socks; Class A greens, slightly different shade of Class A greens, ASU blues, garrison hats, black berets; sew-on patches, Velcro patches; sew-on badges, pin-on badges; and that is just the male uniforms. And, don't get me started on the ridiculous proliferation of service and end-of-tour awards. Maybe I'm just to damn close to my MRD.

I am old school. The picture to the left (cammo out) is what we used to do. I think it looks more professional and less like the Marine Corp. Just my opinion

SMA Dailey has made the most common sense changes, of every SMA since I have been in. Making choices that matter to us is what that position is all about. Hopefully he doesn't think we need a lanyard on the PT belt next.
