Multicam joint
Airforce multicam
Multicam army
the closest I seen to a standard uniform for the Armed Forces was the multicam uniform when I was in Kandahar, and Air Force all wearing the uniform at one point with few deviations. Would do feel about this?

No because the uniforms separate the branches. Each Branch wants to look different than the other for the pride. When I was a Marine I wanted to look like a Marine not another branch cause I was proud of it. Now I’m in the Army I don’t want to look like a Marine cause I’m not anymore I want to live ok like a Soldier and don’t wanna look like a Airman or someone fr M the Navy it’s good too lol different

No, because I don’t want my Marine Corps to be confused with the Army. Mainly because the enemy fears us and not them. In Afghanistan they would avoid us and go after a easier softer target the Army.

Absolutely not , it was tried for awhile and didn't work out well. Leave it alone.

I agree with one standard combat uniform. Savings alone would be worth it. It’d just be a little harder to make fun of the Air Force

Each branch of our Armed Forces has uniqueness to themselves. So long as our combat uniforms do not betray the rules of camouflage I see no need to support such a change. Should our uniforms be too uniform with other branches what next? Forego our wearing special badges and insignia that sets us apart from others? I feel strongly that Ranger and Airborne Army units would not support such a change and neither would I.

As cost effective as this could be I would feel as they would be taking away the pride of the individual wearing the uniform of his or her branch. You joined one branch and most (I hope) feel a strong sense of pride in that branch including the specific uniforms we wear. Granted they’re pleanty of uniform changes through out every branch we still have the chance to strut our colors anywhere we go in our world. Further I don’t believe one uniform throughout the branches would be a good idea because of the implications and uses of various uniforms. The navy has their blueberries. The gray and blue digital color masks the gray paint sailors come into contact with on ship. The the Marines have uniforms best conducive to what they do in their environment. Army and the Air Force follows the same logic. The separate uniforms devolved due to separate needs of the individual branches. Plus I am not ready to pay for more sets of uniforms again. I just had to get new ones for a uniform change

Certainly. DoD waste millions on service specific uniforms. We should have one work or combat uniform that is the best in the world. As for dress uniforms, have distinct styles for the service but not for different regiment or specialty.

There are so many other vital things money could be spent on for our military. Stop applying money and resources to yet, another uniform change. Lets focus on equipment, upgrades, maintenance, healthcare and salaries. Is this really a priority for the military?

No! Why is for a few different reasons. One is the cost, all of the other branches spent how much on their uniforms to realize that your decision was a bad one. Another is how two forces that are hardly rotating through but yet spent the money on doggies to fallow suit with the Army and Marines. Another is I couldn’t see any Marine wanting to wear your digge base ball caps or berets, it doesn’t look professional or have any traditional heritage to the Marines or Navy. The other is why do we want to look like each other, spare me the we are all on the same side. We’re on the same side of the fight, other than that we are in competition with each other and it makes us better!

The uniform shouldn't have never went obsolete with the ACU digital pattern and should've just changed over to a mulicam digital pattern cause the ACU pattern sort of tricks the eyes.So with the multicam digital pattern,it would of course look better and also would look like such a down grade from the ACU uniform

It has definately turned into a comedy show with each service trying to out due the other. It ends the need to memorize 5-6 different patterns for quick friend or foe. It definately saves money which could be used better places to help service members and thats always Awesome

Sure but please limit the hook and loop on it. Buttons and sew down patches.

We had one once when we all work the woodland camouflage. I support that.

As far as service dress blues (or green) I'm for service specific. The Cracker Jack is totally Navy. The Marines have a nice dress blue uniform that is distinctive too. Even Army and Air Force have theirs.

The service dress uniforms should be left to each service. They instill pride of service and are a tradition.

As far as a working out utility uniform I think that it could save costs if they were across the board. They same basic uniform with minor variations would work.
