What type of under shorts do our services give to new recruits? In 1967 I was given cotton boxers. Still prefer them today. Hard to find them with snaps.

US Navy issued me white cotton briefs boxers were not an option. That was 2007.

The Marines give you whitey tighty’s

I got swing easies in 1967.

With your name stamped 1 inch down and centered to the front. Once after a foot locker dump we were standing on line in our undies my rackmate let a hot greezy fart rip. I look over, sure enough, wearing my skivvies.

that made me laugh

Olive Drab boxers

In '70 USN was selling us white cotton boxers. They never "issued" anything, every item was deducted from our pay. (Dang Peacoat was almost a months pay and I wore it three times in four years.)(6-8 months or pay deductions, iirc)
Them drawers came down almost to the knee and wadded up in the back door, actually they wadded up about every where with tight crackerjack trousers we had. Pleats and twists around the thigh and before the day was over they rode up to where everything was hanging out, or choked off. Hateful garment.
Ruins my day just to think about all that.

In 68 we got boxers.

What tjm said X 2. Hated them thangs and burnt em upon graduation.

Tighty whities... But ours were tan drab instead of white.

Army gave me some awful tan briefs, that was just a few years ago, first thing I did when I pcs’d from basic was buy some real underwear. Good grief those were terrible

Tan briefs or olive boxers.
Our Drill Sergeant was a ranger, he said if you were going to be a ranger to grab the brown briefs because in Ranger training you would be in the field like 20 something straight days. He said the brown briefs would blend in with the other brown stuff in your underwear.

OD cotton boxers

I got white boxers. we weren't charged for anything in basic except haircuts and cigarettes. got a clothing allowance after basic. no more free fatigues etc. got new boots free every 6 months. got issued some cold weather gear after basic I had to return when discharged or pay for.

Raw wool. Of course if the fur market continues it's trajectory, could easily be coon!

White Boxers, 1958 USMC San Diego

That's what we got in 1995 as well. Never heard of anyone getting boxers.

I thought you guys went commando?

Olive drab boxers—-1950
