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

I personally think we should go back to BDUs

I think all the armed forces branches should have their own variations of the camouflage type uniforms.

you better believe it. here in Roswell NM we have 203 satellites over our heads 24/7 and drones. A standard uniform non color coded, would help to preserve non disclosure of rank etc....

Like I need a BDU on a ship. The aquaflage proved to be an amazing idea and next year I'll be wearing green and tan. Just call us the U.S. Water Army.

I don't know. I can see the army, marines and air force having similar uniforms; but not the navy. You camoflauge sailors at sea they won't be seen by rescue vessels minus a life raft. Then there is the matter of showing rank. Navy shows all ranks from E4 and up on their sleeves for working uniforms. It would take away the tradition of "tacking on the crow". Plus they have to be fireproof in case of shipboard fires. These are just a few itemsbi thought of. Add more if you feel inclined to agree that the fleet needs to stay TRUE BLUE.

Should be equal. That way there would be no animosity and cut down on costs.

Uniforms are what makes a team cohesive and avoids confusion.....
I dont want baseball players suddenly wearing football or soccer uniforms...
Maybe that's just me....
A lot of young men have joined a particular branch over another just because of the uniform!!!!

Nope!! Keep them all the way they are. Each uniform for each branch is outfitted for what they do to give them maximum cover.

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.

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

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

No I can't agree , each person in the military earns they're own distinctions and a lot of it comes from they're uniforms, badges, wings, Tabs . Etc.

Great idea !! We all wore the same b.d.u s in special operations back in my day -- so way not !!
