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, no one in the Marine Corps wants to share the same uniform as a solider. We earn our EGA and are known for being the best fighting force. We want to be distinct, and not be confused as just a military member. It’s in our DNA to be different, better, then the rest of the branches.

Personally i think there should still be some separation in uniform. Because we aren’t all soldiers its bad enough to be called your brothers name you dont need to look like him too.

Consolidate all services into one military branch. Same uniforms, ranks. Save tons of money and communication would improve

No. The lack of branch identification has become an issue when conducting operations. That branch within the branch of service signafies a SME in that field, removing that branch has led some to believe that they are a knowledgable as the next. This causes improper training and planning. Secondly, the rank having been moved and adjusted so many times has led to a decrease in respect for the higher ranks. Combining all military under one specific uniform would degrade and harm the professionalism of the branches as the Army has already seen by taking the Army branches off of uniforms.

Back in the 1960s, McNamara instituted a standardization of utility uniforms and foot gear. This lasted through the 70s when I served. The Marines still had their. EGA on the fatigue pocket and their utility cover. The only was you knew someone was what branch was by their hat and their rank. It worked then, it will work now. Except for the Marines, the services seem to want to change their uniforms yearly. Just a waste of money.

I have been in two branches now(Army then Navy). Frankly, I think it would work and save money. I know that the Navy would still have to switch to coveralls while deployed at sea. but for garrison, I would prefer a tactical uniform. The Navy has switched to NWU type III which is the woodland uniform. It's actually pretty good uniform in the field. I know some people think it's odd for the navy to have a woodland uniform BUT the reality is that we are more and more likely to deal with an active shooter and a attacks on a Naval base a lot more theses days. When/If that happens I want to a green uniform to hide in, not a blue one. Besides, once you step off the ship and take off those coveralls you are in a green environment just like the army and marine corps.

no all should remain as is. if you want the same uniforms then just bunch all into one service. why try to have unit moral then make them all look the same?

no don't think this should even be a question. each service should have it own. unless you want to group all into one service. then you can have one uniform.

No. Do we only have one military? NO I don’t wanna wear yours and you’d look pretty funny in mine. Only real sailors were made to wear the cracker jack

I believe that's a bad idea, each branch has its own identity, why screw around and try to come up with one set of uniform for the entire military, leave each branch to wear what that branch wants or allow them to design their uniform period
