You roll it to the elbow...never had that problem myself.

Stupid issue.

I remember when we started this convoluted cammy out...it was sold as one being able to quickly un roll ones sleeves in a chemical/gas attack.....not the one when your senior medic ate sour cream with his burrito, the other kind.

I'm glad to see they have their priorities straight.

Maybe now they can get to some of those pesky VA issues we have been dealing with. If, that isn't too mundane for them to have to fit in to their busy schedule.

There are some things in this world that are just plain wrong...and that sir...is one of them.

Before long, they will have "Capri" pants issued.

Camo material isn't covering the rolled portion--does not meet the standard--report to the Company SGM for corrective training.

Pathetic video, improper use of a rigger table. However, the most egregious violation is in the photo where the calves on view are not uniform in size. Where are CSM Bone or Rambo when we need them?

Battle uniforms are meant for you to not get fleas, ticks, or sunburns. Just like any hunting dog.. If you want to waste time showing muscles, that is fine. You can see through clothing.

It was colossal waste of time, .... Airborne be ready at 16:20 for Airborne transport.

Wait, your sleeves are not rolled up. You are out of uniform.

Wait, it is sleeves down and buttoned Airborne for the jump.

You can get hundreds of thousands for a sex change now if you identify as something other than what your chromosomes say you are, but if you self identify as a warrior, professional, or simply "airborne" in SOF you won't necessarily be able to jump. What kind of military do we have now...?!?

It's a tremendous pain in the ass and is best left as a cool down, rolled up to mid forearm to cool off in the field.

Okinawa 1968. I must have still been 17. I made SPC/4 near my 18th birthday.
