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

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.

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.
