Well Rolling the Sleeves on the ACU is hard and turns out looking like crap. Since there are Pen Sleeves and Elbow Pad Pockets.
So Rules or Guidelines, with the ACU, its pointless. XD
Also, in the real Army, it's against regs so if you are trying to do an impression, you will look like a squish mitten. Unless you're doing that standard SF impression everyone tries to do.
We had some Navy SEALS roll into our compound the day we got in country, they were lost and looking for some place. They rolled in with like... 8 fully decked out MRAPS with full M2s on CROWS systems. One of them jumped out and he was wearing a Tan tanker suit with a last chance vest and a multicam chest rig over the last chance vest (the ones police officers wear when working the road ie the ones that can barely stop a 9mm round) and some nice 6" Oakley boots.
Pretty much the booty.
