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

I'd support a common working uniform (cammo). I like the diversity of the dress uniforms of each service.

Don’t change the Marines uniform or their covers! We are different! Pride in our uniform!

For camos/field uniforms, absolutely. For a multitude of reasons, however I think the 2 paramount reasons are cost and unity. If the entirety of the US military is utilizing the same uniform, we will be saving a lot of money. And wearing the same camos just makes sense, in any situation where this uniform is utilized, no one is going to be concerned about uniforms. And there is still the name tape for th3 branch of service over the breast pocket. And we still have service, and dress uniforms specific to each branch. I am 100% in favor.

In my opinion when the Navy went to the new working uniform was a big mistake
The dungaree uniform was better. Why do you need to wear camaflouge on a ship out in the middle of the ocean? You fall over board you are screwed....

$$$, Have you seen the digital 'blue' uniform the Navy and Air Force are/were sporting; Who needs that? Standardize the Uniform between the Marines, Army, and Navy Seabee's, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel assigned to theater can wear that uniform. Didn't DOD just admonish all services for excessive uniform expenditures? It never ceases to amaze me when each Branch of Service expends $$$ for a Uniform, Vehicle, Weapon(system) that another Branch has already tested and fielded.

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.
