Report: Rolled sleeves authorized by every commander except yours

The uniform change comes after the Apocalypse failed to occur during a ten-day trial period at Fort Hood. It applies to every soldier, across every post, and at any time of year — with the caveat that it is subject to unit Commander's approval.
