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

I 100 percent agree but we all know those marines are gonna cry about it

I would support this. However I think Navy personnel should still be able to wear command ball caps like their ship, squadron, activity, etc, as well as an 8 point. 8 points for Marines with EGA as well.

Absolutley not

As long as its multi-cam I’m down.

I’ve been saying this for awhile.... a common uniform, I say the marines dessert and woodland uniforms (they need to bring back the option to wear both)

It looks good on paper and the financial and logistics benefits would be impossible to argue with...here it comes...BUT, I can't see a "one size fits all" uniform. For Army and Marine units, yes, our missions are similar. What benefit would a sailor derive from a woodland cammo uniform aboard an aircraft carrier? How would an air force jet mechanic benefit from a desert cammo uniform while working on a silver or gray fighter? Y es, some MOSs might benefit like the para rescue guys or FACs but the force as a whole? Not so much.
As for making rank insignia style and placement uniform?!? I can see the headlines now, "The American military has just declared war...on EACH OTHER"!!! Just look how different everyone does it. The Marines; enlisted, black metal chevrons on the collar, officers, colored metal hardware on the collar. Army; all ranks, black embroidered devices on a little square placed like a target at center mass. Air Farce; enlisted, full sized chevrons on the sleeve, officers, embroidered colored devices on the collar. Navy...well they do their ow

Back in the olden days, we had these things called “BDU’s.” You could get them almost anywhere, and all you had to do was put on a name tape and service tape, or an appliqué EGA on the pocket for Marines.

We were happy. We focused on training to kill Reds, then.

For all except the Corps...needs to be a noticeable difference for a variety of reasons.

Standard BDUs or utility ground uniform makes sense. Flying utility uniforms are already similar. Shipboard uniforms certainly could be different as they may have fire retardant requirements, too.

The Marines will never give up their digitals.

No, Marine Corps has 3 things on their uniform; rank on collar, U.S.Marines and last name on chest. The army gets colorful as hell with their patches and covers. If everyone wants to copy the Marine Corps fine, but I think keeping it barebones is the best. Also ranking would be different. The Marines have too much pride to compare themselves with any other E3 lol

Currently the Airforce has adopted the Army's current style camo pattern uniform. Would it make more sense for the Navy to adopt as well? Probably as the Seabees have a different one again from the Marines. and the Marines currently have 2 camo patterns they utilize. Perhaps the better question would be should the Navy and Marine Corps have a specific standard land duty uniform, and the Army and Airforce their specific land duty uniform. Thus reducing the number of options from about the current 5 uniforms to three total.

BDUs just sayin

For those on land maybe but the Navy??? Except for those who serve on land in combat.

No. I would want to be able to distinguish between Air Force and military.

I'm all for it. Other branches may give each other shit time and again, but there's no arguing that the military as a whole is one cohesive unit. Our rank systems are diverse enough where we can tell when we're dealing with a Soldier or Airman or whatever else. Cost-wise, it'd probably be cheaper to keep everything to one standard BDU and/or dress blues anyway.

I support a common field uniform like the old OD green fatigues or the BDU’s. They should be worn on base only and not in Walmart or a restaurant or on a commercial aircraft. Field uniform are not for the general public. With everyone wearing the same field uniform, we would have uniformity and think of the cost savings. In the field, you see that uniform and you know that person is US Forces. No mistakes.....

Well, you know what they say about opinions!

No I wouldn't. Having a ACU multicam uni in the Navy just doesn't make sense on a ship. So you have one exemption. Having the Air Force flight suits as ACUs, that doesn't make sense either... so a second exemption. The Marines have a tradition of different head gear, which I support. Not a Marine, but they look sharp. Each different branch has tradition and should keep that tradition alive. If not, then just have one military branch...

Not at all. I prefer to stay having the best looking uniform in the whole military, not downgrading to some army type uniform.
