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

Uniform changes in the Navy are a regular occurrence, mostly from bad to worse. I remember this staring with Adm. Zumwalt, who tried to make all the ranks look the same....whatever.

I can see that!! Navy veteran and when I was in you had Navy blues for winter and Whites for summer, unless you was a Seabee you wore camafloge. After I got out they changed the dungarees to Dickies which was cool and over due!!

I think it is a matter of Branch Pride, I served in Army and I wouldn't want to look like a Marine and I feel they would agree. If you want to instill Chaos and Confusion then try one uniform to fit all. I am all for keeping pride in the uniform. the Navy had the dungaree, the Army had the Greens and the Marine Corp never changed now were are all digitized with separate colors. Let's keep the pride.

One battle/utility uniform would make sense in both a cost and production point of view. Back in the day I had and used “tiger stripes”. This pattern was the best that I used and offered very good concealment and well as long wear. The puzzle palace had to decide on changes for each branch. Keep the dress uniform but get the one battle/utility and go to aircrew style name tags for name and rank.

i think a standardized uniform is a great idea, the rank and service insignia ought to be exclusive to each branch, but the uniform it goes on should be the same across all services, with exception to maybe sailors aboard ship, with them i believe they should have something that would be suitable for seaborne service

From a logistics and purely 'uniformity' standpoint I could see the logic behind this but I think an SMs standard operations area must be considered. You do not want a standard woodland type camo being worn on in contrast to the superstructures on a cruiser of carrier, nor would you want the blue/grey naval camo being worn while trying to hide or low crawl or in an open field.

No. It's a matter of tradition and Branch identity

Branches have through the Decades felt Uniforms defined them. I remember when the Navy changed from chambray Shirts and Dungarees, to Polyester. Keep the traditional system.

Yes, this is the only time since the creation of utilities that we don’t have a common working uniform to deploy with. Different ones don’t fiscally make sense...

Well it brings back the old saying," we are all equal in the military, because we all dress the same, to look the same and act the same". I agree that all services of the military must wear the multicam uniform. It would bring down the uniform cost, show that individualism is no longer needed by each branch and make it harder for our enemies to tell who they're fighting. We once wore olive green fatigues, except for ship borne sailors. Why not Multicam now?
