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

It’s a decision whose time has come...for a field uniform that is. Dress uniforms should retain service’s distinctiveness.

A major challenge with this would be Marines and Sailors don’t wear all the badges that the Army wears on their utilities. So there would be a bunch of unused Velcro

Not only no, but #%?!$ no! I can definitely see the benefit of one battle uniform for those who are in country, but to dissolve the distinctions between the services is Ludacris! I never did agree with having sailors look like combat smurfs. If you were not in a combat situation in country, then keep your own distinctive service uniform. And for gods sake, let the Navy go back to dungarees.

Absolutely for the duty uniform, but I believe we should keep the dress uniforms their own.

When I first came in, Army/Marines/Air Force all wore woodland pattern BDU’s. It was easy to find uniforms since we all wore the same thing. Better for the taxpayer too instead of the cost of 5 different uniforms for 5 different branches.

I think we came very close to that in the 1950 and 60s recently I happen to be waiting for my spouse at the navel hospital and I counted 6 different variations of the Navy uniform in one hour, it would make since for all branches to have one for all ,just think of the money each branch would save

I can see this for a land based unit, but putting sailors in BDUs (especially underway) is rather narrow sighted. Dungarees and coveralls were serviceable and relatively inexpensive uniforms at sea, and it didn't break the bank when we had to throw out a half dozen pairs when you returned from deployment because you couldn't get the grease, fuel, paint, and sweat out of them.

For actual field service I agree But service on ship or areas not requiring cammo the service should be able to decide

Combat uniform the same in all branches, reduce blue on blue.
Class A and B unique to branch.
