Default Wearing the ACU's
Raider team was issued ACU's wednesday and I was wondering if the sleeves on the ACU blouse could be rolled up like BDUs'. Also along with this thread I would like to see who will be attending the Brigade Raider Challenge at Manchester HS this coming saturday, please comply with forum rules and not list your specific group name.

No. The sleeves stay down on the ACUs.

You can get "pads" that can serve as knee pads and elbow pads, but I have never met anyone who used them. Usually you wear exterior knee and elbow pads. This also prevents you from putting holes in your uniform.

Padding. Granted if you get ACU's, Don't put padding in them.

That is up to you, I have never worn my collar up. To me, it is more of an anoyance then anything else.

In BCT during ftx, we were told to wear the collar up, but outside of that, its a team choice, i prefer it down, as it looks low-speed up.
