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

I'd seen another thread on this here, though that one dealt with rank insignia...please understand, this is obv purely my own thought process, however, aside from multicams, as you'd mentioned, there are pretty well always gonna be uniform differences, it's never gonna be wholly standardized, though, as your photos showed, what you tried to depict is most likely as close as that sort of standardization would prob ever got, I should think...as I'd said, those are obv just purely my own thoughts, of course....

Dress uniform no. Combat uniform Maybe, with service specific rank and branch tapes as in US ARMY, US NAVY,. Dual Service assignment yes. Now i have to ask are we going to paint all the planes, and ships, anfibs to match or what?

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

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.
