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

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

CMSAF said he wants to push for OCP by the end of next year

When is America going to wear their true uniform of the future?

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.

All for it.

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

I seen? Really?

It worked until about 2000.

And I think it’s a great idea

Navy folks were wearing multicam too

Well, having worked o n the deck of the Abe Lincoln, honestly, who the Hell cares what you are wearing as long as it can take a serious ass beating. You are on one of the largest floating objects on the surface of the sea, with about fifty jets on deck. Who the hell are you trying to hide from? We wore bdu's on the deck. Green bdu's for enlisted and Sand Camo for Chiefs and officers. Again, who cares what you wear as long as it is durable and can hold up to non-skid.

No. Services don't have the discipline to be squares away like the Marine Corp

The uniforms can be different - there is pride in your unique service dress. However, when each branch is spending millions of tax dollars seemingly every three or fours years to research what kind of special field camo pattern they want, it gets ridiculous. The perfect example of that is the Navy's blue and black camo. Are your kidding me? What background will that have you blend in with so you will not be seen by the enemy? Oh, I know, if your ship sinks or you fall overboard the rescuers will find it hard to locate you. Good plan.

No! Each branch has its own unique history and individual uniforms reveal their own distinctiveness.

Absolutely not. It’s easy to identify our different branches and tell who’s American and who isn’t.

We all (Army, Marines, Air Force) wore the same utilities/fatigues, just different hats and patches, until the introduction of the ACU's. Then it got stupid.

We should have one point of entry for all services; one basic training that we all share together before going on to our various branches and specialties.

Identification. Different force, different mission and capabilities. I used to find it confusing and frustrating, all the uniform and gear changes over my 22 years in the Army, But in the interest of giving the soldier the latest and greatest supplies and equipment, the only constant in the universe is CHANGE. Another concern is the enemy. They seem to always be able to get their hands on or create copy-cat uniforms for their clandestine operations. Supply control is essential, but keeping up with what's going to protect soldiers BEST should be our goal. Back to identification. Besides being able to tell friend from foe and friendlies from non-friendlies, being able to tell at a distance who is on your left and right is key to battlefield survival and effectiveness. Distinctive uniforms for Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard assist with safety, security and organization. An office setting is one thing, but on the battlefield, when you may not be close enough to read name, rank and service, at least with different uniforms you can extrapolate mission from a distance. Hooah!
