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?

I like the cut of the Air Force Tiggers and their boots appear to be an inch or two higher.

No, Definitely not.
The Marine Corps dress blues are representative of a history ans tradition that goes back to 1775. It is integral to the pride instilled in every Marine from the time they step on teh yellow footprints until the have taps played over there burial service. In addition, the combat uniform informs the enemy that hey are about to be destroyed by the finest military outfit in the world.

I believe each branch of service should have its own version of BDU's.

A standard work uniform like the BDU or the ridiculous annual modifications we now have makes sense but the dress uniforms should be service specific. As a combat infantryman i really do not be confused with a clerk. I can not believe they want to revive the WWII dress uniform! The green uniform was just fine. The blues with the shirt and Beret makes soldiers look like airline attendants!

I get the impression we have a bunch of Washington bureaucrats that are just trying to stay busy to justify their existence.

Seems to me the field uniform is moving in that direction. The only part I know my service would not want to lose is the six-point cover. As far as my feelings is the dress uniforms should not change in the foreseeable future. They promote the services and team spirit.

Before We get down this road, we need to ask ourselves who needs what kind of uniform. Seriously? Sailors and Airmen in camouflage? Why? Sure, SEALs... AF Security Forces, EOD etc... I get it, but cooks? Aircraft mechanics? Fighter pilots? I'm not disparaging any of the people who do so much important support work, I just question the need.

I agree with many others, that dress uniforms could stay service unique, but a utility uniform could be universal.

Depends, I don't think its necessary on a ship, but in the field I think its a good idea. I'm a Coastie but looked just like any Army, Navy, or Airman when I was in the Stan.

No. If so, then why not have the same boot camp? Same Physicial Fitness standards? Same marksmanship standards, etc.?

Maybe - but not for Sailors and Marines - they should be required to wear distinctive uniforms. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

As for a field or duty uniform yes, class A's are distinctive to their respective branch of service, and or division(in the case of the Army). It was IMHO foolish for the one branch to go one way, then splinter the entire thing in an endless game of "me too."

Utilities: Sure. I mean what idiot thought it would be a good idea for sailors to be camouflaged in water??

Dress Uniform: NO WAY!
Each service has a long and storied history and deserves a unique identity in their dress uniform.

I think that a common uniform with unique accoutrements would be more fiscally responsible as well as make it easier to distribute. That being said, we can celebrate our uniqueness in a service-specific dress uniform.
