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

Hell no. Each branch has its own history, traditions and culture. Don’t mess up their identities.

Dress uniforms should be different. It was Navy Pride to wear a Dixie cup and stand out from the other uniforms. The Marines are the same. The uniform shows your pride and heritage of your branch of the service. You could tell what branch you were in just by looking at the uniform.
The most awful uniform was the navy blue camouflage . Who were they hiding from. The ball bottom jeans and blue shirt were comfortable and functional. Don’t change is my vote

No. There is no reason to constantly change uniforms and it would also make it for service members from different branches to properly identify each other.

I agree and disagree. I think we should all have a few different sets, of the same colored cammies, you wear whichever color is closest to the surroundings you're in. Referring back to vegetation running around on a ship deck. The Navy has already started this process. They have blue cammies for ship rates, and they have a multi cam uniform for other environments. Also sticking with few variations. I'll wear the same cammies as someone in the Army or Navy, but as a Marine, I'd like to take pride in my branch of service and stick out a tiny bit amongst my brothers and sisters of other branches.

Yes! For easier identification of friendly forces. We are inching closer and closer to a peer on peer or state enemy in a conventional setting. Plus you can buy replacement clothing on any base.

BS, no Marine wants to look like a Doggie or Squid! Get your headgear checked!

Wasting your time. The Marines will never convert to a common uniform. What the Army should focus on is getting their own “uniform house” in order. Ever since Desert Storm the Army has worn their battle dress (way too many names to recall) as the uniform of day for everything, liberty, travel, meetings with civilians in coat and ties, joint meetings where other services are in kakis or blues. It is an embarrassment to the Army. Only thing worse is the Air Force wearing flight suits to the same meetings.

We could do like China did. Same uniform, variation of colors.
I'm ex-Navy and I always thought the jumpsuit is what they should run with though. Because they are technicians and operators first.
The Air Force could do the same thing with different badging.
No reason the Army and Marine Corps could not double up. The Marines could keep their cap. Just diffeeent badging....
So in my mind, two "standardized" uniforms. For work. Everyone can have their own dress uniform.
Heaven forbid if the Navy got rid of its dress whites......

Makes a lot of sense! But that would also be the reason I could see it NOT happening!

I don't support it. We have spent more money on uniform changes in the last 10 to 15 years between duty, dress, and PFT uniforms. Now at least for the Army the SMA is talking about another dress uniform to bring back the pinks amd greens. Yet training, supply, and recruiting budgets (including those to keep quality members or the military) are tight or lacking. Enough with all these changes.

a standard field uniform makes a lot of scence with the exception of the navy when they are afloat cammys on ship dosent really profit any thing for duty ashore yes. for service and dress each service shoud retain thier own distinctive uniforms and distinctive insigina of rank your always gonna have a need for specilized uniforms as for service in the desert of artic enviroment woodland green dosent really work well in either setting and vice versa.

It would make a big family in the army branches and it make all one instead of having army say their better than the marines, navy better than air force and so on.
