The Great Republican Energy Initiative begins tonight
Daylight Saving Time to all you sentient beings. Spring ahead!
And I am betting they had no idea how it would affect the troops.

On Sunday, you’ve got to roll your clocks forward an hour. On Monday, you’ve got to roll your sleeves up, as the Corps’ new uniform standard goes into effect with daylight-saving time.
All leathernecks in garrison worldwide will be required to wear the summer season desert cammies with sleeves up effective March 10, according to a Corps-wide message issued Thursday by Commandant Gen. James Conway.
The news of the uniform change comes as regions of the U.S. continue to be pelted with winter storms, which the service chief said he’s taking into account.
“In recognition of the possibility of temperature extremes within the first few weeks after changing to/from [daylight-saving time], commanders may direct a deviation to the [Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform] sleeves up/down policy as climatic conditions warrant,” Conway said in AlMar message 007/08.
