Slick Sleeve
Army
Definition
A soldier with no deployment patch on their right shoulder. In some units, this is treated as a character flaw. In reality, it usually means they joined during peacetime or had orders to Fort Couch.
Example Usage
"Don't let the slick sleeve fool you — she's the best squad leader in the platoon."
