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

I think alas branches should be in the same uniform which would vary based on theater of operation ex desert oractic uniform make no sense in Europe. Keep distinctive markings per branch. Some branches are more high priority targets. No need to give the enemy too much information.

Why would we? The Marine Corps adopted the MCCUU in 2002 and it’s still the same uniform I’m wearing today. With our force modernization efforts it would be fiscally irresponsible to adopt a new uniform we don’t need.

My posts here are in no way trying to disrespect the Army or Navy (the Air Force a little). But we know the Army will be buying the lions share and won’t/don’t care what the other Branches think. I remember when some quizz kid at the puzzle palace thought Marines would look good in some gay French hat! But that got a big NO from the Enlisted and Officers. Don’t limit your whole force to one size fits all in utility uniforms. The Woodlands worked great in Germany or France, not so well on Okinawa is Guam (Sweat factor 100+). And they really sucked in 29 Palms!!! Just think before you want make a bunch of Stepford Service Members!

Cammies yes, we did that back in the 70s. Mac Namara tried to standardise all utility uniforms, boots etc. It didn't last. Dress uniforms should not be standardized they represent traditions and that is important to maintain.

No, its stupid. Each branch has their own traditions and history. And their uniforms let them show those off. Personally i would not want to look like any other branch, because my branch is the best. I do not want to look like a shit bag

The reason alot of service men and woman choose a branch is the different uniforms.

To be blunt, no. If I wanted to look like a grunt I would have joined the Army!

I don't like it, there is a reason why we wear different uniforms because, we are different branches of services. The Marine Corps used to set that standard, but after Desert Storm, we started wearing name tapes, like the Army. We as Marines all new who we were.
