If you had a choice, which uniform pattern/style would you want to wear?

MCU with good ole BDU features! Being an Avn Fueler, I especially enjoy the lightweight material that is particular to our own mission necessities. But, I personally feel that the MCU pattern is much more practical given our current combat environment, than the ACU pattern. Regarding specified combat patterns, a pattern needs to be decided upon for each environment of conflict; i.e. Urban, Desert, Snow, Woodland, etc.

In SGT MAJ Battaglia's recent statement about uniforms, he said he did not support one common uniform across the Military. He said different uniforms make the serviceman/woman proud to represent the branch they serve in. He also said the only time wearing the same uniform would be probable is when we are in theater in combat operations. As one nation fighting the same war.

I must also make a comment on the Army uniform we wear. Get rid of the Velcro. It's crap. Horrible addition to the uniform.

I'm retiring this year, so I won't have to worry about this one. I've enjoyed the several different uniforms I've had over the years.

Great Question MSG. This is a topic I discuss frequently. I really dislike the ACU's. I feel that they are impractical and really don't work. My favorite is with out a doubt, the multicam. My second favorite is the Marine pattern. The multicam is by far the most practical. It blends very well in dam-near every environment.

I wold vote for the MARPART.  I think it looks great, and while I have never worn it, my brother says they are comfortable.  The multicams are not bad either.  I have worn those and they are quite comfortable.  The AF ABU's are terrible.  They are uncomfortable and anytime we deploy we have to get another uniform to wear, presumably because the ABU print does not work in that enviroment.

I don't know why there have been so many changes, especially for in garrison.  I preferred my old OG-507 fatigues.  When deployed to fight, I understand the BDU/ACU, etc., but it isn't necessary to wear 100% of the time if not deployed.

For jungle warfare I would have to go with the tiger stripe uniform, otherwise I would have to go with MARPAT it just seems to blend better in other combat situations

I would definitely say Multicam or the MARPAT variants. 

I would like to have seen the debate on this stop years ago.  The uniform was changed so we could have one "universal" pattern, which didn't work and still required a different uniform based on theater.  So essentially the change was pointless.  In the spirit of modernization, the MARPAT is awesome, and was originally designed under Army contract if I'm not mistaken.  The real point is that all these changes have been absurd and ineffective, and that makes me sick.  Here we are so concerned with money that benefits and compensation are in the crosshairs, and meanwhile billions are wasted on pointless uniform changes.  To include service uniforms.  And I am pretty sure all Soldiers unanimously agree that everything about the ACU is terrible.  What I would like to see is someone to make an educated decision and stick with it, rather than see what seems to be a decade long Fraud Waste and Abuse.

I think we should do two things: 1. Make the pattern BDU Woodland or MARPAT 2. Make it a one-piece uniform like a Combat Vehicle Crewman's Uniform (CVCU) or a pilot's flight suit.
