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

Hell No/ Each branch should have it's own uniform and the navy does not need camo. Nothing was wrong with the old dungaree work uniform and the traditional navy uniform of white for summer and blues for winter is the best. The marines should not have the same as army and same for air force. We each did different jobs and were proud to wear the uniforms of our particular branch. Don't go stupid.

No, we tried that before and it was unpopular and took away from service identity. Keep the different uniforms.

Yes on the standard uniform in combat area to all US troops, no ally troops, no contractors, no translators , nothing but US troops

Yes, it would save lots of money on various uniforms as well as show uniformity. Although we all serve in separate branches and we all have our distinct jobs, the Uniformity in the same uniform would show others that we are all one Military. Many may disagree but, that is my opinion. If older Warriors remember, before the ACU came into effect for the Army, the Marine Corps had it's MARPAT and the Navy went with its Blue Camo and the Air Foce went with it's latest pattern, we all wore the BDU's.

I whole heartedly disagree. A Marine or Army infantryman could too easily mistake some Airforce or Navy non-combat service member as an ally covering their six and end up overrun because of ill equipped and untrained personnel being in the wrong uniform.
For centuries the different uniform has identified who's who on a battlefield and give a quick visual.queue of who is where, and how they are doing.

Maybe a more senior/seasoned vet can enlighten me. I don't understand why we don't use plain OD for working, field, etc, and draw theater specific camo for deployments.

The cost of such thing would make it almost impossible to keep up with. It already cost a fortune for uniforms (all items) and you know as well as I know that the small amount you get for the "Uniform Allowance" doesn't cover everything you need. We already had the DCU's for deploying units (before the Multi-Cam uniform).

More of a question really. I have been out for quite some time now and I was just wondering. Is the uniform allowance still as woefully inadequate as it was in the 90's?

single uniform hurts esprit de corps. Been in multiple branches and very much identified with the uniform of the branch I was with at that given time.

I personally think that it's the smartest way to go. One uniform for all branches, besides the rank and the branch strip being different. You don't have each branch spending a bunch of money on different uniforms. Kind of like back when the BDU's were still around besides the Navy not doing much with them as far as I heard. I think all the years of all the branches playing around with their different color/pattern uniforms was pretty dumb to begin with.
