I think, since 1980, I have worn at least 8 different field uniforms, not including some Alaska and Fort Drum unique uniforms I had, nor the Tanker's Uniform.... (1) Green Fatigues, (2) BDUs (from Elvis to end), (3) Jungle Fatigues (Vietnam Era), (4) Chocolate Chip DBDUs, (5) 3 color DBDUs, (6) ACU-UCP, (7) Multi-cams, (8) ACU-OCP... How about you?

1980-2000 USMC,,, Wore 4 different types of "Cammies" . Dress uniforms went from have wool for winter and Polyester for summer to a single poly/Wool blend. Went from the old "horse blanket" over coat and rain coat to a single All weather coat, Had the Wooly-pully sweater and tanker jacket.
I got confused even with those few changes. As soon as we got off Id just go in my room and strip buck naked and watch TV. Too many decisions.

I've worn uniforms for three different branches of service; couldn't count the number of different uniforms over the past 37+ years. Plan on keeping only one when I retire from AD this summer, my last service dress uniform.
