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

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

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.

Not only HELL NO... to the HELL NO

Yes it is cheaper

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.

They woodlands were pretty standard across the board.
