New MARADMIN- no more rolled sleeves in cammies.

And we are talking first morning after meeting your DI's type of rude wake up!

I really don't understand this new regulation. Going by what the more salty Sirs are saying, not looking forward to the peace time Corps. Garrison life is always gay. At least I can Semper Sometimes my enlisted life for the next 3 years.

This sums it up my feelings pretty well, especially with regard to money, available equipment, and the random BS.

I just finished TBS about 3 weeks ago. We are still fighting in Centralia. I'm still waiting for my Centralia Action Ribbon and Campaign Medals. I had what seemed like 40 deployments out there.

Here is some sweet Centralia gear (if you haven't already acquired yours....):

That's excellent. I may have to pick up some of that stuff for a handful of buddies. Thanks!

They would go well with braided belt, khaki shorts, and topsiders.

Come on, you're not THAT far removed from Rio Nuevo.

A necessary evil required at OCS and TBS, and dropped promptly thereafter.

I have a Marine Neighbor. He's a Major. He still dresses like he's on weekend liberty from fighting the centralians.

Unfortunately you're likely speaking the truth; I'm only speaking for the Marines I spend my time around, and they're generally aviators, and hence have more sense and have consumed less kool-aid.

For the record, I am not MB's neighbor. I was repatriated from Centralia, and have never looked back.

Being stationed in nothing but the desert (29 Palms/Iraq), sleeves down is the best thing, no matter how HOT it got. We never rolled our sleeves up in Garrison. In the field, sleeves down. The only time our arms were exposed, was boots and utes. Infantry Marines like sleeves down- more practical.

Nice thread resurrection bro

But then how do you all show off the massive "guns" that are only shown to best advantage in TIGHTLY rolled sleeves?

Coming from a tour as an Infantry Officer, I'd disagree. Does it really take that much time to roll or god forbid, unroll, your sleeves? And besides, sleeves down in desert cammies looks retarded.
