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

Mr McNamara had the standardization idea in the 60s and we all ended up wearing sateens, probably the most uncomfortable and least colorfast uniform I wore. We went to Vietnam, found out they were neither durable or climate appropriate and went to various tropical weight uniforms with the Army having one style (slanted breast pockets) and the USMC another. Both evolved according to the needs of the specific service. The problem with the DOD wide uniform is it's developed by a committee trying to solve very different service requirements, preferences and desires and you end up getting a compromise that serves no one well with very minimal savings. Let it be.

It did not work for Canada! they hate it! Prior to unification in 1968, the uniforms of the Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) were similar to their counterparts in the forces of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, save for national identifiers and some regimental accoutrements. With unification in 1968 all branches started wearing the new Canadian Forces CF rifle green uniform. The present distinctive environmental uniforms in different colours for the army, navy and air force were introduced in the late 1980s and are generally similar to their pre-1968 counterparts.

Support this idea. It’s ridiculous to have different uniform patterns for the branches it should be the same across the armed forces

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!

I like the idea, but The USMC would never stand for it.

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....

Everyone in the same uniform you say? Oh boy! I can’t wait to hear stories of someone winding up in another branches Formation.

Yes
