I know this irrelevant to nursing forum but since this section focuses on military which military branches do you think has the best looking uniforms in your opinion?

It's a matter of opinion, but I think different services each have a good uniform or two. I think that the Army has best utility uniform: the ACU. The Marine Corps (no nurses though) has the best all-around dress uniform: blue dress A. The best mess dress is probably the Army, but the marines have a good one too with that red boat cloak. I would say that the Air Force has the most iconic and timeless flight suit and leather jacket combo.

As far as a working uniform I would have to go with the Marines. The Marpat is nicer than ACU' s. For the office either the Marines or Navy. The Navy has the worse junior enlisted dress uniform, the summer white jumper.

I'd step out on a limb and say the non-military Royal Canadian Mounted Police have one of the coolest uniforms. I'd like to have one. The wife would probably like it too.
Althought as the NWMP they fought in the Boer War I believe so that's somewhat militario. I'm not Canadian.

I am in the Army FWIW.
In my opinion the Marines (MARPAT) have the best daily duty uniform. The ACU was terrible, but I do like the new OCP or multicam unis.

I agree — Army OCP! And it did matter for me as an Army nurse, because I wore my uniform at work, not scrubs. I know, kinda crazy. We were finally permitted to wear ACU scrub tops. I ETSd the very day I could have put my multicam uniform back on. Lol.

I like the Army green uniforms better then the current uniforms.
