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?

Keep the sailors in blue aboard ship but if in a ground combat role, such as SEALS or Seabees, switch to other colors, depending on theater of operation.

Love it. All your military uniform contractors will fight you to the death however to do it. Sometimes I wonder who's controlling who's contracts. But that's a different, ans much longer, Rally Point complaint post.

Standard battle/utility uniform, yes! Dress uniforms, keep separate.

For financial reasons. I do not see a reason for every service having their own uniform. I support one standard uniform for all services

Yes as long as each one is some how distinguishable from the next. Marines are not the same k8nd of soldier and need a distonction for themselves even if it is just a logo or name tag that differentiates them

To the original question I'd limit it to two - one for the ground services and one for the sea services. Whatever the Army chooses is what the Air Force gets, whatever the Marines choose is what the Navy gets. Save the money.

No I would not support a standard uniform for all branches of service. You are correct in asking how I "feel" about this...as it may be practical and economical to mass produce one uniform for all the Armed Forces there is the issue of pride in ones own branch of service. If we are to standardize uniforms why not just lump all of the services into one branch and let the SNAFU begin. We are all committed to one goal however there needs to be a pride factor somewhere.

We could keep a level of pride by having separate dress uniforms.

I support it for the work uniform, but dress uniforms should be branch specific.

I'm all for it. With the exception of the Marine Corps, we all wear the same uniform in a combat environment anyway. One team, one fight.

I think no matter what anyone thinks some company or companies is going to strike some stupid contract with the government and get rich and cause more spending to cause greater cuts to our budgets in the form of pay and benefits and no matter what they decide, in a couple of years someone is going to change their minds, re-invent the wheel and we will again get new uniforms... Politics at its best... I personally don't care one way or another, we use to all wear the same BDU/Cammies/utility uniform and it was all good, not to mention those things lasted for ever...
