I was at a recruiting event with a bunch of relatively new guys. Not only were they rolling up OCP sleeves they were rolling up ACU sleeves. From all the articles I've read I see OCP to be rolled but does not mention ACU. (actually they call OCP pattern ACU in the articles.)

STEP ONE: stop calling a pattern of camoflauge as a different uniform. the ACU comes in UCP and OCP patterns.

I was always under the understanding that the UCP, OCP were different. Kind of like the ACU is a different uniform than the BDU.

ucp and ocp ARE different. but acu's, while they HAVE gone through changes since their inception are the same cut in both patterns now. bout the biggest difference is the removal of the mandarin collar that came out with the UCP version. Point being, you will not find separate rules for their wear aside from a wear out date for UCP and OEFCP and in regards to mixing and matching patterns with gear.

So ACUs were included? Or was it just OCP? They talk about ACU in all the articles but show OCP pattern.

SPC Colin Jenks - I think, perhaps, they just had a model w/ OCPs on. I would go by the word. If questioned, you can point to the word that is printed. I mean, that's what they always go back to, anyways, right? What's on the paper overrules what is said?

SPC Colin Jenks - Did you just completely miss the following paragraph in the article?
"The guidance on rolling and cuffing ACU sleeves pertains to those of the universal camouflage pattern, or UCP; operational camouflage pattern, known as OCP; and the Operation Enduring Freedom pattern."
"The guidance on rolling and cuffing ACU sleeves pertains to those of the universal camouflage pattern, or UCP; operational camouflage pattern, known as OCP; and the Operation Enduring Freedom pattern."

Sure was a lot easier when you had either fatigues, or jungle fatigues. Of course back then Air Force had short sleeves.

Started last year I believe. They are all Army Combat Uniforms (ACU) but in different patterns. Universal Camoflouge Pattern (UCP), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Camouflage Pattern, and Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP). As they are all ACU's they all fall under the same reg.

I swear I've seen photos of soldiers on both sides of the Civil War with sleeves rolled up!!!

If memory serves, it was around September/October of last year. While I don't remember the exact date, what I do remember is that while Big Army says you can, they are leaving it up to unit commanders to determine if the sleeves will be rolled or not.

I personally don't like rolling my uniform because it looks completely unprofessional. But I'm still relatively new to the army

It has been about a year or so now. You need to have them done correctly or you don't fall with in the regs

I don't recall when, I think I blocked it out of my memory. It looks like terrible.

You must not be active duty. Because if you were, you would know the answer to the rolled sleeves and uniform.
