Yeah I love summer only because that means sleeves up. Although it takes my husband 30 minutes to an hour to roll them I think it looks incredibly hot. It's one of the best things about a Marine Corps uniform, the arms, only certain guys can pull it off, which makes it even more special.
For reasons still unknown the Commandant has decided to make the combat utility uniform sleeves down all year round effective October 24th 2011. That gives me only two more days to enjoy my hubbys desert cammies, sleeves rolled.
Two days because tomorrow is his Friday and he doesn't go back till Sunday
It is a sad day for Marine Wives every where that will no longer see their husbands arms.
Although I disagree with the Commandants decision, I respect him more than I do the "president," so like with everything in the Marine Corps, I will grin and bear it and secretly (not so secret now huh?) despise the uniform change.
Oorah Marine Corps.
Some pluses to having sleeves down:
They will sweat more meaning the disgusting fat bodies who are still in for God only knows why might lose weight. Ya that might sound mean, but when a nasty who weighs 200 lbs gets promoted instead of a perfect ideal Marine who is in his weight class and gets kicked out because they had too many of said rank, I have a problem with that.
It lowers the chance of getting skin cancer.
It saves time on the weekends, time that can be spent together, especially the females who complain that they don't get to spend time with their hubby because of the Marine Corps. Sorry honey, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

In the north, when it gets colder sooner than anywhere else, they wont be as cold as they would be with sleeves up.
Comment your pluses!

P.S.
Stop complaining about the gov't taking away TA. Yes it sucks, no they shouldn't have done it (take away single SNCO BAH) but its better than them deciding not to pay us for months on end.
Vote smart this year and get Obama out of office!!!!
