Would you support a standard uniform for all branches of service? Why or Why not?

No. However the Army, in particular, needs to stop changing the field uniform every 5 yrs. IMHO they need to complete the issue (I know RA has to buy them) the new OCP and PT uniforms to all Army personnel. If they need a particular uniform for a different theater of operation then do so for ONLY those actually needing them. When the individual goes back to a garrison environment, then back to the OCP. Of course I Think the Army should get a true class B uniform. That white shirt has to go for casual wear.

Kind of a difficult question to answer, but basically our uniforms represent our branch of service and that could be critical in some instances. If we were to look at things like underwear, fitness wear and many off duty aspects, perhaps. The Navy used to have specific purposes for our clothing, which increases survivability if your ship was sunk, not so much any more. Let your synthetic material seal to your skin with firs and try to make a flotation device with the new stuff.

I fully support a single uniform for field use, with appropriate tape for branch, rank, etc... as needed.

RallyPoint is starting to stagnate. Same recycled topics. Always Army personnel who can't agree how to regulate themselves or get with their program, or constantly fussing over whether they can put this badge or ribbon on or what

Coming full circle. Back then when the Secretary of Defence was William Cohen, he required all service branches to use the same uniform pattern. Air Force had to give up the leather name patches and the Marines had to sew on their last names.
Amazing how we back to where it all started.

I never understood each brach having its own BDU anyways. Having one for all branches with each branch having their own branch tape & rank would be in everybody's best interest. The sooner the better!
