The Air Force uses the Army OCP in certain locations because it’s the best uniform option available. Different environments require different uniform options.

The solution would be a deployed uniform that all services wear when deployed to specific locations. Otherwise, they should wear whatever the uniform of the day is for that branch.

For utility uniforms, fine they should be especially with more and more joint service operations. For Navy and Coast Guard however aboard ships a utility uniform proper for sea service duties. One service Uniforms a great big " NO " each should keep their identity. All may be My brothers and sisters but all of us take pride in our individual branches as We should. I don't want to be a Marine, soldier or sailor and more than they would want to be Air Force but the team and pride We have in our branches should NEVER be taken away. The traditions and History of the different branches of service is shown in the service uniforms as well as formal or ceremonial uniforms and that should never be changed and each service should stand out with their own identifiable, distinct uniform.

Absolutely NO.
Each service should have thier own uniform.
The Air Force should get rid of its current BDU's. This is just my opinion. I ALWAYS loved the comoflaged BDU'S with polished boots.
I also don't like the new top 3 cheverons. The old was the best.
Dont often comment. Just an old Airman.

The various branches have different missions and even different standards. The only time their uniforms should look similar is if they are on the same mission such as a joint task Force.

Think about the cost savings to the taxpayers. Right now each branch does it's own r+d on uniforms, this could be consolidated in to one combined group. I could go on but I think y'all get the point.

Hell no. And the Navy should go back to the Cracker Jacks. The uniforms in my day were unique and you could tell who was what even at a distance.

BDUs should be the same which would result in fewer friendly fire problems as was proven in WWII and I think all branches should have a “Sam Browne” style uniform in their own colors, but dress uniforms should be unique to the branch. Maybe even do like most of Europe and have “Regimental Dress” uniforms.

A favorite subject of mine. ARMY and AIR FORCE should have the same style uniforms. And soon will have. The NAVY, MARINES and COAST GUARD need to use the MARINES style of uniform. But with different head gear. These uniforms are for in the field only. Dress uniforms should and must be different for ceremonies and parades, so the civilians can tell who is who.
