Marines shout Oorah as they are once again allowed to roll up their sleeves
‘I can't tell you how many times we have been asked the persistent question "Commandant, are we ever going to return to SLEEVES UP?" I've thought a lot about this over the past 2 .5 years; I realize that it's important to you. Sleeves up clearly and visually sets us apart. WE HEAR YOU MARINES!
‘Because of the persistence of you, my Sergeants and Corporals, this evening I am publishing a MARADMIN [Marine Administrative Message] that will return us to SLEEVES UP status when wearing our Desert CAMMIES in non-combat areas. This will take effect on 9 March when we transition to our summer warmer weather uniforms. Get the word out Marines.’
Needless to say, the announcement was greeted with a chorus of approval. At the time of writing it had received 33,350 likes and hundreds of comments.
Some of them revealed the dedication that Marines apply to the rolled-sleeve look.
