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

As a marine I'm extremely biased, so I don't support same uniforms for all branches, I like the fact my cammies are different and our chest embodies our Eagle Globe and Anchor.

One uniform with each branch small differences it would be cheaper due to one supply resource to draw from.

No. I think the different uniforms is what gives each branch their identity. Also every branch has a history for why its uniform is what it is. i.e thr Army Airborne dress blues.

Personally, i've always been in favor of the un-uniform. It promotes diversity, increases unit cohesiveness by making servicemen become aquainted with each others dressing habits to avoid friendly fire, increases enemy confusion as they cant tell our boys from civilians, and increases discipline, as ncos arent having hissy fits about a patch being a quarter of an inch off.

For our general uniform I agree. Maybe not aboard ships though, I am surprised sailors don't wear mechanic style overalls.

Go back to a common fatigue. One uniform saves the tax payer and simplifies the Supply Chain.

I would support it and probably a universal rank system too so it’s easier to address other branches service members

.... As long as it's in agreement that the Army and Air Force can keep their ugly soft covers and Marines and Navy can keep our awesome covers. I'm completely fine with unification of battle dress. Everyone just needs to go to marpat

Use the pattern, or go back to the BDU type of pattern. Get rid of Velcro and bring buttons back

As a marine I disagree 100% with this. As marines we hold ourselves to the highest of military standards. We wear our uniform with pride. No other branch tries to set themselves apart like we do. Marines aren't just any branch of service. We are MARINES and our uniforms show it.

I totally agree that hold themselves to the highest of standards and pride. However, I feel that high standards isn’t just for Marines. All of DoD Armed Forces should exhibit those standards

It would be nice to see it, remembering when most of us where in BDU’s and we just about looked the same across the board.

You mean, like we used to have with the BDU uniform? Call it what you want, USMC was cammies or utilities, it was all the same uniform.

I’m pretty sure the Air Force is getting new uniforms in 2 years. Not 100% but rumor is they are going back to multi cam.

No each service needs to be it's own self. What needs to stop is the need to change the utility uniform almost every other year.

I joined in OG107 days, seemed to make perfect sense. The first concern when they went to individual service uniforms was profit, not actual use.
