Welcome to the How to Roll up your BDU Sleeves the US Army / US Air Force Way Tutorial.

This is not for the US Army's new Army Combat Uniform (ACU) which according to the new US Army uniform regs are not to be rolled up at all.

The US Army developed a way to roll up the sleeved of your BDUs so that the camoflage material still covers the sleeve even after it is rolled up and so that the soldier could quickly pull down his rolled up cuffs in a hurry in case of chemical attack.

From this:



To this:



Step 1: Take off your BDU Blouse (top) and unbutton the cuffs



Step 2: Button the cuff adjustment strap to the nearest button on the cuff



Step 3: Fold over the sleeve inside out until the cuff touches the armpit of the blouse/shirt



Step 4: Pull the sleeve opening apart and get rid of any bunching



Step 5: Fold over the sleeve inside out again, about 3 inches (or 1/3) down



Step 6: Fold the outside part of the sleeve over the top of the folded up sleeve material so it covers all of the inside material, smooth out any bunching



Step 7: Put Blouse/shirt back on and adjust your sleeves so they are comfortable




How to unroll your rolled up sleeves:

Step 1: Grip the lower edge of the rolled up cuff, you only need the outer part



Step 2: Pull down cuff



Step 3: Adjust cuff as needed



Now you look like one STRACK Trooper!

Very cool now I know how to roll a sleeve the right way thanks dan

Yes it is cool but be sure to keep in mind that this is for the Army and Air Force only. The Marine Corps and Navy roll their sleeves up differently which is why I recreated USMC/USN sleeve rolling tutorial.

I wanted the Army/Air Force ones that is what my SG costumes are is mostly Air Force
