The way the Marines do it is much easier and, in my opinion, looks better.

I never had cuffs at my elbow. The trick was how how many rolls you made and how wide you made them before folding down that outer fold. It had to be juuuuussst right. As a SrA, i rolled up my sleeves to where i looked like a SSgt. You could barely see the 3rd stripe, and couldn't see the bottom of the chevrons at all, so it looked like i had a 4th covered by the roll.

The only problem was, getting your blouse on or off was a tight fight on the bisceps - but hey, you looked hard charging.

I also boxed my covers, and wore them NOT tipped back on my head, but low over the eyes.

I was hard core, but then, i was a Horseman.
