You\u2019ve asked for it, and the Army has heard you.<\/p>\n
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley on Thursday announced during a trip to Fort Hood, Texas, that soldiers will be able to roll the sleeves on the Army Combat Uniform.<\/p>\n
But don\u2019t start rolling your sleeves just yet, Army officials said. Milley is calling for a 10-day pilot at Fort Hood with the intention of continuing it for the rest of the Army.<\/p>\n
Milley\u2019s announcement is so popular that soldiers at Fort Hood are already rolling their sleeves, Army officials said.<\/p>\n
“Feedback from soldiers resulted in us wanting to do a trial over the next 10 days to see the feasibility of updating [Army Regulation] 670-1 and incorporating these changes in the future to give commanders flexibility in wear based upon their unit’s mission,” said Lt. Col. Jerry Pionk, an Army spokesman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Your pay won’t get a COLA that keeps pace with inflation, out-of-pocket medical costs are going up, the commissary is closing, your housing allowance is being cut, but hey, you can roll up your sleeves. <\/p>\n
You win! <\/p>\n
Yay!<\/p>\n
