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

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.

Complete with distinctive headgear

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.

Woodland bdu's worked across the board in the 80's.

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.

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.
