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

I semi support it the OCP uniform started in the army and since the air force has adopted the uniform.

No.Because how can we tell which branch is which.It is like an Army Colonel giving orders to a Marine,Vise Versa.As Marines a Universal Uniform would mean saying bye bye to our iconic and famous Dress Blues.How and who would we know take our orders from.The only exception is Joint Strategic Operations Command where we take orders from multiple branchs.

Absolutely not. We do way too many different operations in different environments. That's why for the most part Marine Corps has jungle and desert uniforms. Velcro sucks and after time it wears and is no longer serviceable. I have uniforms I have had for 8 years and are still serviceable due to very minimal velcro. And my last take is like others have mentioned. Our uniforms give us pride. When people see me in my cammies they can say hey he's a Marine. Not hey there is a guy in the military. I am proud to be a Marine. I didnt join to look and be like everyone else. And for the most part most other branches have horrible military appearance and I know myself and many others would not want to be a part of the other services standards.

We spend way too much money on changing BDUs. It would appear they change color, pattern and cut every couple of months. That will not make them better soldiers

No. There should be a base working uniform for the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps with individual service tags/rank (like BDUs used to be in the 80's and 90's, and a base working uniform for the Navy and Coast Guard, and a base uniform for the Space Corps.

Each service should have it's own unique dress uniform, with variants for Flight and Space service within the branch. Army and Air Force should be identical dress with a variance of color, green for Army, blue for Air Force.

Hell no, as a marine I take pride in the uniform I wear it sets ya apart from other branches of service and honestly other uniforms look like shit

Why have everyone wear the same uniform? Beat the purpose of the different branches

No, not at all.
Quit trying to be Marines.
Earn the title if you want our uniform, discipline, esprit de corps and lineage.
A "common uniform" designates everyone as the same and as one military and well, frankly, it just ISN'T SO!

The Marines MARPAT camouflage had been proven as the most effective design. The army's new multicam is a nice uniform, the issue lies with the idea that one uniform can meet the needs of all environments. Using different patterns for different reasons is the most logical. That said the cut of the army uniform is more superior to the other contenders, especially the larger pockets. The reason why they started having Navy & AF wear the army uniforms while deployed was they were augmented to support army units. So it made sense to wear one uniform for many reasons. Not to mention seeing the AF running around Afghanistan wearing grey tiger striped uniform was nothing short of ridiculous.

I beleive that we could switch to a uniform that everyone could wear, however, I believe that it needs to be a good solid camouflage design, such as Multi-cam, Kryptek, or a Marpat like design. We need something for arid grasslands, desert, and the woods. (Artic is more of a speciality) Multi-Cam rates very well compared to even the Armys Scorpian pattern and would be a great fit for the military, add the desert Multi-Cam and you'll be good to go for a good set of Camis that in all honesty, I could get behind. But it needs to be done tastefully and with a lot of help from the combat oreinted MOS's. You cant have a guy on a computer type something up and think itll work, it takes experiance and a level of feild knowledge only gathered by being down range that you can get understanding of what works and what doesnt. That's my two cents, hope everyone understands my point of view on the matter.

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
