I thought it was boxers in olive drab, but maybe that’s just in the movies.
Actually, commando is more prevalent, especially on Middle East duty, where the heat and humidity (to say nothing of the sand and grit) almost seems like a no-brainer to go bare beneath. We threw out stuff that also required more laundering and space.
InterestingWhen I was in the Army (2009-2011), we were issued like the tan khaki briefs, but in. Basic when we were brought to the PX to buy stuff, most of us bought either plain white boxers or the black under armor boxer briefs (because that's all the PX sold besides the tan briefs).
Interesting!From what I have learned from recent (past 10 years) young men in the military:
Army and Marines - green briefs.
Navy and Air Force - tighty whities.
Also the military colleges (not academies) seem to go with tighty whities. Citadel and Norwich U required white briefs, except I saw on Norwich's web page that boxers were now added to briefs. All had to be white.
