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?

No. Fundamentally disagree with attempts to homogenize the force. Let each force move forward at its own pace optimizing against their own mission objectives. This should not be forced into a one size fits all approach.

For a combat uniform I think it would be great. Why spend $ billions for every branch to have their own. As for Class A & B uniforms, you MUST be kidding!!!!!!!!!

Well as much as I would like to say yes I am going to have to say that every branch of the military has it's own purpose and they don't work in the same places. Yes we work together but as a team but we all have are own training for what we do best. And even if we went to a single uniform it would still be just as expensive. People are always monie hungry so the price of uniforms would be about the same. And green on the deck of a ship would stick out and blue on a dessert not so good ether.

I do not support this. I think the distinction between services needs to be show. As a Marine Combat NCO and an AF Officer I think both services deserve dinstinction.

Yes. But the navy no. Unless attached to the ground units in Afghanistan.

I would. Keep your different dress uni's, but "work" uniform all the same. Exceptions of special situations, such as camo's for battlefield, but otherwise, same.

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.
