Multicam joint
Airforce multicam
Multicam army
the closest I seen to a standard uniform for the Armed Forces was the multicam uniform when I was in Kandahar, and Air Force all wearing the uniform at one point with few deviations. Would do feel about this?

When talking about formal uniforms (mess dress, service dress ect.) I say no way. Each service needs to be able to stand out in their own way.
When talking about a combat uniform i would agree with 1 uniform. The fact is each branch has spent a ridiculous amount of money on uniforms between development and testing. The army adopted the ACU only to move away from it due to its failure in the battlefield. The Air Force went with the ABU which was an even bigger failure (we were not even allowed to where them outside the wire in 2012) and the Navy went with those blueberry looking things that are completely useless for those guys on shore duty downrange. The Marines seem to be the only ones who got it right the first go of it. The other three are already changing (or have already changed) again. When you have personnel from different branches working together in a deployed environment they already have to be in the same uniform. This is just needless added cost and logistics. We don't want that JTAC or Medic to standout for a reason. When you're talking about a combat uniform keep it standard.

Ha, you mean like in 1982 when we adopted BDUs for all the services as a land component field uniform?

We all wore same uniforms in NAM. I think it would be a great idea at all times. Service branch over pocket and rank unit on sleeve. Like SSG Grandy says, "One country, One uniform".

Yes, we had that at one time. It was cheaper and easier.

We all wore the same uniform for my first 13 years and then things just got stupid and wasteful. Tiger stripes for AF?? Yes, the Marines are to blame as they rolled out the digital camo in 2001 for testing. Sadly, you have a whole generation who can’t remember when we all wore the same tactical uniform.

I think since all the branches are different you need to be able to distinguish between each branch.... besides it promotes esprit de corp.

I thoroughly agree. Maybe this way they don't have to change to a new look at what seems to be every couple of years. I went through 4 uniform changed when I was in.
