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?

No each branch of service should have it's own identity. I don't like the new Navy BDU's. Sailors should be wearing dungarees. Unless they are E-7 and above. The only people in the Navy that should be wearing camouflage uniforms and those that are in a special unit such as EOD, Dive and SEALs also HM's stationed with the Marines.

What are we talking about here? Field uniforms i.e. utilities/Cammie's or dress uniforms? A uniform Cammie's design might work as long as the Marines could retain their distinctive cover design and wouldn't be required to fill their sleeve with patches. I never understood what the Navy was trying to blend into with the blue Cammie's.
Dress uniforms? A resounding NO WAY. The Marines dress and class A's have remained more or less the same since the early 20th century and that is just fine. All those pins and patches on Army uniforms never impressed me much. I miss the summer service tropical and khaki's and the officers whites. Tough to keep clean and squared away, especially aboard ship but sharp as hell.
The Army seems never to be happy with their appearance. How many uniform changes have they had since 1945 and now they are going back to that design. Lots of money wasted.

We all had the same uniform until 2001 when the Marines went digital.

I think this is a dumb idea. I’d rather get admin separated from the marines than wear any other uniform. We have a uniform that has worked for well over 10 years and I do not plan on looking like anyone else.

No because there is certain traditions and battles behind why uniforms (dress blues) are worn it might just be the marine in me but I think this is the dumbest idea.

It used to be before these new patterns came out and we all wore BDUs, so why not... the only thing that was different was head gear... the DoD wastes more tax payer money on stupid uniform ideas when thay R&D money can go to better equipment, but of course, so POG that sits in an office comes up with stupid ideas to waste money...

Negative.
The traditions and core values of each branch share the same heritage but not the same role in our history. Each branch has forged this country in their own way but still together as one. This allows SM’s to carry that pride in whichever branch they volunteered in. Separate uniforms doesn’t mean we’re not on the same team but represents the history of sailors and soldiers very unique roles in our country. The separation provides pride in our branch, pride in branch traditions, respect to the ones who served in our branch before us, and adds a little healthy competition with other branches. Seperate uniforms also provides awareness to the public especially during joint operations. To visually see branches working together is priceless. One team one fight is a mentality that does not stop at the uniform you are wearing.

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.

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.
