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

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

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...
