Different services, different traditions, different missions, different uniforms.

Thanks for your reply, 1SG (Join to see). Would you say all uniforms should be different or just certain ones like the dress and duty uniforms?

i asked my Col this question once. He said "Why are you asking me all these stupid questions Hernandez, Im trying to eat my pizza" (We were at the base bowling alley). He said "No". I responded "It will happen eventually". He laughed.

Shipboard uniforms should be adapted to the environment they serve in and be professional in appearance. We've only had over 200 years to get it right!

And how did I know the the USMC members here would be the loudest "NO!" chorus. Would any change their minds if dress/ceremonial uniforms were not part of the equation?

SSG William Wall I know they hold a great deal of pride in their uniforms as do all branches. This has definitely been an interesting discussion. Thanks for your feedback!

The Marines changed ours in 2003 and besides the FROGS it hasn’t changed since. Maybe instead of mandating a DoD wide uniform policy, the individual services should pick a pattern and stick with it. Any changes after that would have to go through the DoD with Secretary approval. Lastly they need to put some common sense back into picking a pattern.

SSgt (Join to see) Common sense is lacking when we're willing to shill out some money to any genius with a new tiger stripe or grandma couch pattern. Thanks for the reply!

I believe that the combat uniform could be standardized, with service-unique markings, but the dress/undress/working uniforms should remain unique to each branch. When I was in the Air Force (1974-80) we envied the dungarees worn by the Navy. Sailors and Coast Guardsman had the most comfortable working uniform of all! You should go back to them!

Yes the basic combat uniform should be the same for everyone that way when you are deployed then the same supply chain can support all services and does not need to worry about 4 different uniforms.

No, but I would like to see more similarity in the shape and pattern, so while it's obvious were are in different branches, it is also obvious we serve the same country's Armed forces.

CPT (Join to see) - Every branch has an unique mission and identity. By tradition and history, each branch has their own uniforms to go with their traditions and history.

Thx for sharing! Would you say that answer applies to both utility and dress uniforms?
