Accused of Being Bogus Marine Because I Was Issued White Skivvies

[DWG]

REAL Marines just use razor wire jock straps!!!

I landed on the Yellow-Footprints at P.I. on 11 January 1968. I have these ****birds from another forum who are trying to discredit me, saying that I gotta be bogus 'cause I state that I was issued white skivvies. They're saying that that is a giveaway, 'cause Marine skivvies are green. Anyone here issued white skivvies during the '68 TET offensive? And when--and under what circumstances--did the skivvies become green (again?)-

Plt 336 PI, Jan 67 - White skivvies. In the Nam during TET 68 we didn't wear skivvies. Just saying

PS Was issued green skivvies in the Nam later, wore the T-shirts out, bottoms were like new.

We had a lotta white and that's alright,
white was the color of the day,
so don't let anyone tell you diff,
I was there in 67, maybe 66 cant remember for sure,
i gotta look at my own profile to check,
but i know they was white.
traded my whitey tightie's for boxers,
never before knew what it was like to just let the boys hang out.

MCRD SD '76 to '80 - white T's & boxers. I've wondered just when the green skivvies became the standard issue, but I can't tell from reading this thread.
