Maj. Bryan Battaglia, said the mix of uniforms makes the U.S. military look like a “Baskin-Robbins” and signaled his support for a common uniform.<br></span><br><span style="color: rgb(44, 44, 44); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">But Marine Corps Commandant Gen.

Personally I would have Marpat for Garison and multicam /scorpion for theater purposes

What does the terrain look like where you're operating? The old OG107s were a better camouflage uniform but the kickbacks on a $14.00 uniform doesn't go as far as the $72.00 ripstarts they were replaced with.

I'm good with whatever uniform comes to be the "standard" as long as it's NOT NWUs.

Oorahhh. I prefer the old woodland pattern from early 1990's. But it he Marines paid for our MARPAT and we are going to use it.

We need more than one. We need an everyday uniform, that is good for most places, and then some variants. ACU (single uniform for everywhere) was a noble idea... except the pattern doesn't work in any environment except the living room. I like the way the Marines do it, wherein they issue woodland and desert variants, so we are not wasting time issuing uniforms when we have to go some place.
I don't get the Air Force Tiger Stripes, or the Navy Blue Digitals...
I do love the functionality of the ACU, but we need to loose some (most) of the velcro.

Thank you!! Back in 2000 we all wore one uniform and that was it. We did it before lets do it again. The military is wasting too much money on individuality for uniforms. I'm sorry Navy I have to say what is up with the blue berries?
Not to be bias, but I like the Marines uniforms. They work well and have been proven as well. However, If something better came along, go for it. Just make all branches ware it.

Both the multi-cam and the MARPAT are effective. Flip a coin and make whichever wins universal. We need to quit trying to be "more specialer" than each other.

I would vote MARPAT, with both environmental variations. As great as the Scorpian/multicam looks, The concept of single uniform/all environments has just never worked...ACU is the biggest flop of all in that arena. It's more like single uniform/NO environments.
