Underwear?

[ol'fido]

As an old infantry guy, let me say this. If you are going to be doing a lot of walking in them, do not wear jockey shorts. Most of the seasoned soldiers would wear silk running shorts for road marches. Bike shorts were also an option. For normal, go to my weekly meeting, etc. just wear what you normally wear. I don't know about the UA or new synthetics but unless your doing some serious distance marching, I would save my money.

Also, if you are going to do some serious road marching(10+ miles), do not carry anything in your pants pockets especially the cargo pockets. After a few miles, they will start rubbing on your legs and make "strawberry" sores.

I have a bad feeling about CPPT and this thread... 

Whats wrong with the thread? Its not inopropriate at all. Just a question about underwear.

Just a joke...

10 years in the Infantry I never wore underwear in BDUs or anything for that matter.  It wasn't until I had to start wearing suits in 2001 that I had to buy underwear to put on daily.  Still today, I can't stand wearing underwear with jeans.  ABUs are are just too coarse to not wear underwear and these days I wear Underarmor Boxer-Briefs, which have been my underwear of choice since about 2006.

FWIW - in a flight suit, I wear "Ranger Panties" or "Silkies".

Appropriate underwear.

Being infantry also, I'm almost positive he doesn't mean what you're thinking.  He probably means he wore PT shorts with BDUs or cammie, rather than underwear.

No, I did not wear ANY underwear, period.  It was fairly common at the time, I'd say at least 50% did not wear underwear in BDUs.

Oh, I stand corrected.

I've never understood the 'ZOMG He's not wearing underwear!' reaction to this. 

But there are thousands if not millions of people who go every day without. In some parts of the world it is far more common. Especially in places where they wear robes and undergarments or pants actually restrict the airflow that help keeps them cool.

Now if it's all in good fun...have at it.

Having a bit of fair Alba (no, not Jessica) along with the Auld Sod in my bloodline, I resemble that remark!



My uncle told me that when he was stationed in the UK in the early '50s, some Scots troops of the British Army visited them.  He said they were great guys until one of the USAF guys who had "taken drink" remarked about "men wearing dresses" and the Scots beat the pulp out of him.

My dad told me that back when he was in the Army (late '50s) he was issued boxers.  He promptly told the 1st Sgt "I am not wearing those!"  1st Sgt said, "OK, but you need them in your footlocker for inspection."

Great Bog in Devon, what a thread...
