Multicam joint
Airforce multicam
Multicam army
the closest I seen to a standard uniform for the Armed Forces was the multicam uniform when I was in Kandahar, and Air Force all wearing the uniform at one point with few deviations. Would do feel about this?

In '91 I Know that we All wore bdu's..the variation was Marines wore OD t shirts, and tan belts. Army wore Brown t-shirts and black belts.. I agree with a standard field uniform. It uncomplicates deployments and Probably more cost effective over all

Each branch is different. Separate uniforms not only distinguish the service members it is also part of our identity. Would the Army forego wearing the patches they take pride in? Would the Marines want blank velcro areas because they don’t wear patches, or have their rank insignias sewn onto their sleeves as enlisted Airmen do? I took great pride every time I put on my MarPats and my brother also took pride in putting on his ACUs (we both thought the other looked ridiculous). If cost/savings are an issue, then increase the amount of suppliers/manufacturers. Competition in the market drives prices down and increases quality, simple economics.

Definitely Not. The "Dress Uniform", Class A, is what distinguishes the different branches of service. As stated by SSgt Michael Jackson, the closest to a "standard uniform" is the BDU's or camos. But even they have differences, except for name breast patches. During WW II, the USAF was part of the Army and shoulder patches designated members as AAF, distinguishing them as Army Air Force, separated from the ground Army. Marines have no other insiignia; Navy has bluish color plus insignia; Air Force has only button tags & breast patch denoting "outfit/command"; Coast Guard is same as the Navy; only the Army has shoulder patches as well as button tags & American shoulder flags.

I would not support that because marines deserve there own uniform to represent their badassery

At one time, in the not too distant past, everyone did.

No. I've earned the right to be amongst the few, the proud, the Marines. I want my uniform. The one I wake up and fight for everyday. The one that I left my family for. The one that brave men and women have died for. If I wanted another branchs uniform I would be in that branch.

Not for it. There needs to be a distinction between the branches.
