Why do these people have their trousers rolled up? Do we not blouse over boots anymore? Was supply out of camo shorts to issue? DI appears to have his bloused. WTF is going on here?

Or am I just showing my extreme age?
They have soldiers, who are working outside, temporarily roll up their trousers and sleeves like this when the “heat-cat” (combination of temperature and humidity) reaches a certain number during the day. The extra ventilation helps prevent heatstroke.

It was the first day with them at their Training Company so none of them have really had any instruction on how to actually wear their uniforms. They'll be blousing their boots soon enough I bet.

I do remember when I went through boot camp we weren't allowed to Blouse our boots for the first month or so as well.
