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

Back after I was commissioned, I heard stories of the proposal to merge the medical service of each branch into a generic military medical service. The proposal was for a maroon uniform for all medical officers in the new branch. It didn’t go anywhere because each service chief convinced the establishment that this was a really stupid idea.....just saying.....not gonna happen

No. Tradition.

Yes.

Definitely! Saves money. One standard pattern but each branch would have their own patches, badges, rank etc... Of course the Marines would never go for it as they have to be different.

Just as long as they get rid of that stupid-a$$ velcro. That is the worst thing some jack wagon put on them.

There’s been so many uniform changes in the last twenty years it’s actually hard keeping up with who’s who.

No I don't like that the Navy got rid of the dungarees. It made you look like a sailor.

I think it should be based on what pattern affords the best protective cover, not service specific. I would rather be generally invisible to the enemy when in the field than die because I was in my branches version of cami’s. I also think cami’s should be field only, and the DoD re-institute a daily wear uniform, like the old style khakis or something similar where you have to look sharp, polish shoes, press creases etc. It shows pride, commitment, attention to detail and professionalism. This wash and wear, baggy cami nonsense is sloppy and, having worn them before I retired, instills no point of pride. I always wore my blues without jacket every chance I had. Polished, pressed, professional and pride inducing! Just my thoughts.

Whoever had the brain fart to put us squids in cammies can fuck off

It would make sense and I hate to say, it would also save taxpayers.
