Military Guys: What kind of Underwear was part of your uniforms?

[Lynx]

I dont remember being able to choose between boxers or briefs when we were issued uniforms. I do, however, remember those nasty olive drab baggy jockey shorts with an extremely nonelastic waistband. I think they were made by Fruit of the Loom. After Basic Training, I only used those sad things to roll up and show off in my inspection wall locker. Oh those old days...lol

When I joined the Navy in 79 it was tigthy whitey's which was fine by me as it was all I had ever worn and still wear to this day.

I was Army, and it was the same thing, at boot camp the issued white shorts, had to stencil everything. I hated them. At least white BVD's had a pouch to help hold a package. the white shorts held nothing, and there wasn't a damm thing one could do about it Had to sent civies home, including BVD's. Only saving grace was fatigues and class were loose. Still showed, just not as much. Went back to tightie whities once I got out.

"Physical to enlist was all guys stripped completely naked in big facing oval around the room"

I remember being naked in those circles for the exercise portion of the pre-induction exams. You would look across and see guys with dicks hanging halfway down to their knees standing next to chubbies not showing enough dick thru their pubes to let you know for sure that they were male.

I don't remember seeing any hard-ons, but with everything flopping around as you did the exercises I wouldn't be surprised if they occurred

...not sure what year we are talking about in some of these threads..but in the 90's (in the Army) it was light blue boxers with your name stencled on em.

 

[stanley9]

when i went through almost a year and a half ago. it was tighty whities with your name stenciled near the crotch under the wasteband.

and for laundry....everything is stenciled with the persons last name and thrown into a big pile.

Man I would love see that huge pile of worn, sweaty briefs.

 

[SDSU_Nick]

tighty whities for USN.

 

[Arkady]

AF did tighty whities also, I hated them.

 

[zpacifico]

I had some ugly olive-green boxers, overiszed felt like having no underwear at all... which was not a bad thing actually

That's why I like boxers. What branch were you in Peter?

 

[lilbear]

I was an officer in the army and always went commando.

 

[ColoradoGuy]

We got tighty-whities issued to us in basic training, but after that was over, we were free to wear whatever we wanted. When I worked in an office environment, we wore dress blue pants that were tailored (very form fitting, as a result) so I continued to wear briefs. Whenever we wore BDUs, I always went commando.

 

[D_Boeing Boink]

USAF. Basic training was loose white boxers. After basic anything was ok.

 

[smalldic]

in the RAF we could wear anything though we were issued with combat green long johns

 

[justine]

My special friend Mark goes commando and he served in the Marines. Mark said while in Iraq the sand would go everywhere that is when he started shaving and manscaping.

 

[MadCock]

USAF. Basic training issue was chose of white boxers or briefs. Otherwise whatever you liked.

It's been a long time (Korea), but when I went into the US Navy we were issued baggy white cotton boxers (there were only 3
sizes...large, larger and even larger)..with strings on the sides so
you could adjust them to your own waist size and tie securely.
You had to stencil your last name, followed by your first initial,
on the back waist band. As far as I can remember, we had to
wear them at all times and were never give the priviledge of
wearing anything else. Everything had to be "regulation" in case
of inspection of your lockers.

I was with a fighter squadron and in our sleeping compartment
we had a large bin with canvas bags inside...one bag was for
whites (hats, t-shirts, boxers, sox, sheets, pillow cases,
hankerchiefs, work white and dress white uniforms...and the bag
was for darks (work clothes, dungarees, black sox). The
laundry was collected once a week (set day of the week for
each squadron or division) and returned the same day. Each
week there was a designated Airman Apprentice who was in
charge of the laundry detail. When it came back he separated
it by sailors name and placed it on the floor under that sailor's
rack (bunk). Each day the racks (4 bunks high) were folded up
flat and out of the way, and not pulled down into sleeping
position until the evening. When you returned to the compartment after your days work, you collected your laundry,
pulled down the racks and folded (or rolled) your clothes and
placed them into your clothes locker. Our dress blue uniforms
and P-coats (winter) were stenciled with our name and sent to
the ship's cleaners. They were handled the same way but returned already folded.

We all heard stories about the food being mixed with saltpeter.
especially the eggs so many refused to eat the eggs saying they didn't like powdered eggs, but of course that was not the real reason. I knew one of the cooks (from my home town) and he
swore it was only a rumor and not at all true. In any case it
didn't stop erections...for there was always someone around with
one at any given time....and especially in the showers in the
head.

In the sleeping compartment out racks were only 1-1/2" apart
and so we had to sleep head-to-foot...supposidly a perfect way
to keep people apart...but I guess the Navy never heard of 69.
:biggrin: With the baggy boxers with the big front gap...during
the night you could look around and see a multitude of erections
poking out of the gaps...as well as in the mornings. so I don't
believe the saltpeter rumors!

There also was a compartment "duty watch" called a "Poge Watch" where a sailor with a flashlight would roam around a nu,ber of compartments during the night...to watch for any
"funny stuff or hanky-panky" that might be going on in the
bunks. The racks were so close together that it was common
to see arms and legs over in to the next bunk and even a bit
of close contact. I had the watch a few times but never saw
anything out of line....which was always a disappointment!
:biggrin:

All sailors that went ashore (whether you had sex or not) were
required upon their return to take a Penicillin pill before being
allowed to come aboard ship....you were handed a paper cup
with water and a pill and required to take it in front of the OD
or Master-at-Arms (usually a Marine). Because of that, I am
alergic to Penicillin...:frown2:

 

[zpacifico]

That's why I like boxers. What branch were you in Peter?

I was in logistics

 

[hairyman101]

In the navy it was boxers in basic. i dont wear underwear so i was glad when basic was over.

 

[B_dxjnorto]

Because of that, I am allergic to Penicillin...:frown2:

That's a good story silver, but shitty about the penicillin. They were probably inadvertently breeding some of the first penicillin resistant microbes.

The four high racks interest me. We always called our beds racks, but they were bunkbeds two high that could not be folded. I bet those things were terribly beat up from the daily abuse.
