hbtcoveralls Posted June 4, 2011 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2011 Just wondering what kind of shirt is worn under the dress blue blouse. It seems that the high collar would make it uncomfortable to wear a shirt with a collar, and I don't recall seeing any collarless shirts out there. Since I'm not a Marine, I don't have the "inside story" Thanks Tom Bowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjones5452 Posted June 4, 2011 Share #2 Posted June 4, 2011 I saw a fella put his on over a T shirt one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Punishment Posted June 4, 2011 Share #3 Posted June 4, 2011 Yep, just your scivvies. I think officers have a white collar liner, but it just may be decorative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrapneldude Posted June 5, 2011 Share #5 Posted June 5, 2011 White or Black T-shirts from what I know. More recently some of the guys on funeral detail were wearing the "underarmor" moisture wicking fabric athletic t-shirts. Officers are same - there is a button-in white collar that goes in the blues coat to give the appearance of an undershirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devildog34 Posted June 5, 2011 Share #6 Posted June 5, 2011 At the Marine Ball my first 2nd 3 years, gun 3 (my gun) was notorious for doing a portrait with the wide/girlfriend and then the NCOs would unbutton the blues blouse and reveal a blue t-shirt with the superman crest and take a spoof picture. But I always wore white undershirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrf2 Posted June 5, 2011 Share #9 Posted June 5, 2011 For officer blues, there is a white button down shirt that does not have a collar that has french cuffs that you wear your issue cufflinks with. Under that, normal or white T-Shirt. White Skivvies Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahcable Posted June 5, 2011 Share #10 Posted June 5, 2011 For my SNCO summer uniform I wore white boxers under the white trousers....but I always wore something stupid under the blouse like a Charlie Brown t-shirt or beer branded t-shirt. At some point you need an escape valve to let of pressure and that was my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCRECON Posted June 5, 2011 Share #13 Posted June 5, 2011 I know it was just a typo but I got a chuckle out of the "wide/girlfriend" words Me too! Didn't have the heart to make comment but since you charted a path there..... I didn't wear blues all that ofter but the couple times I did (with one exception) I wore a white "T" shirt under it. On that one occasion it was chilly and since we were going to be outside for an honor guard, I wore my old boot camp issue yellow sweat shirt under it.

Robswashashore Posted June 5, 2011 Share #15 Posted June 5, 2011 Not to hijack the thread, but my husband who wears a kilt has frequently been asked, "Is anything worn underneath?" to which he always replies, "No, nothing worn, ma'am, all in good working order!"

At some point you need an escape valve to let of pressure and that was my way. Semi-hijack... I've known quite a few USAF folks with the similar mindset when wearing the Mess Dress (tuxedo looking uniform). Normal white pleated front, collar & cuffs... from there, I've seen camo, tie-dyed, etc. on the back & sleeves when the jackets come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always fun to see those break out at the end of the evening. Here's an example... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
