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

I would support it and probably a universal rank system too so it’s easier to address other branches service members

.... As long as it's in agreement that the Army and Air Force can keep their ugly soft covers and Marines and Navy can keep our awesome covers. I'm completely fine with unification of battle dress. Everyone just needs to go to marpat

Use the pattern, or go back to the BDU type of pattern. Get rid of Velcro and bring buttons back

As a marine I disagree 100% with this. As marines we hold ourselves to the highest of military standards. We wear our uniform with pride. No other branch tries to set themselves apart like we do. Marines aren't just any branch of service. We are MARINES and our uniforms show it.

I totally agree that hold themselves to the highest of standards and pride. However, I feel that high standards isn’t just for Marines. All of DoD Armed Forces should exhibit those standards

It would be nice to see it, remembering when most of us where in BDU’s and we just about looked the same across the board.

You mean, like we used to have with the BDU uniform? Call it what you want, USMC was cammies or utilities, it was all the same uniform.

I’m pretty sure the Air Force is getting new uniforms in 2 years. Not 100% but rumor is they are going back to multi cam.

No each service needs to be it's own self. What needs to stop is the need to change the utility uniform almost every other year.

I joined in OG107 days, seemed to make perfect sense. The first concern when they went to individual service uniforms was profit, not actual use.

Congress arms committee out out in 2015 that all branches had to go to a universal set of uniform by fiscal year 2019. Idk what happened after that was put out but cause nobody seems to be talking about it.

I completely agree. one utility uniform, with area specific uniforms on deployment that all services wear.

unified in combat areas with unique to branch insignia. unique to branch class A uniform. Unique to branch rank.

Precedent was set once the services started moving away from the BDU. Once precedent is set it's hard to go back.
Personally, I'd like a cleaner (Army) uniform. For the Army at least, I'd prefer a move back to collar rank for all and branch insignia for officers.
I believe Congress already forced the policy on new camo; all branches must agree on new additions for standardization which nobody seems to want.

No because every branch of the military should have separate uniforms because each branch has different standards to uphold

Carriers have aways had Marines aboard who wore BDUs and Navy Sailors who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and other ground combat enviornments wore those same uniforms. Ive served in both Army and Navy and I dont remember blending into the ship being a big concern. A bigger question is why we in the army switched camo patters like 4 times duringva war where we were doing very little hiding. I remember practicing individual camoflauge during Expert Infantry Badge qualification while wearing the Armys new(at the time) ACUs and even the instructor couldnt keep a straight face. We decided to call them the I see yous.
