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 started my Army career when all branches of service wore BDUs. We were one team, one fight. We need to stop the individualism and get back that “one team, one fight” mentality.

Common uniform is fine. Might need different boots shipboard.

We all serve the same country, therefore; we should wear the same uniform. One country, one uniform!

The only way that would be okay is it wasn't broken into branches anymore. Let me elaborate say only one service and call it....... Bc for that to work without any bs anywhere is for all apft standards to be the same across the "uniform" and so on. Not knocking the army other branch but if everyone is wearing the same uniform the same things should be expected of them ALL. From D&C to APFT everything otherwise no.

The current BDU is OK for ground forces, but doesn't it seem odd to be wearing camouflage on the deck of a ship. And then again, pilots of all services have a distinct need for a different flame resistant uniform. And one thing I definitely do not like about the current army BDU is the placement of the rank insignia on the chest. I prefer its previous location ( still used by the other services ) on the collar, near the face of the person I am addressing, especially female personnel. And then there the uniforms with different color schemes.

On second thought, does a single BDU make sense?

It was when I was in. Standard woodland cammies and standard desert cammies. No issues

I think it would simplify things. I am in the Army, and I appreciate the similarities in rank insignia with the Marine Corps, not because I want to be one of them but because as a soldier it is just more stuff I have to keep track of to understand the rank insignia of other branches. I think a simplified supply chain would be a great cost savings to the services. I also think it makes sense from a "one team one fight" perspective.

No, I liked being easily able to tell the difference between the services. It was important to me.
