Dirty Underwear

[AppleCello]

Seems the Air Force undertook this research and development in response to their pilots' lifestyles.

"Self-cleaning fabrics could revolutionize the sport apparel industry. The technology, created by scientists working for the U.S. Air Force, has already been used to create t-shirts and underwear that can be worn hygienically for weeks without washing."

I've been doing that with cotton underwear for years. Yet another useless R&D project thanks to USAF.

I don't always agree with what USAF does, but this is far from useless.

Spoken like someone who has never been to the field... All you have to do is turn them inside out after about a week...

And after that, just take them off, because commando is better than swamp ass-laden skivvies.

Or someone who just isn't completely lazy. I'm currently staring at a pile of laundry that has yet to fold itself and the idea of not doing laundry sure sounds awesome.

Folding is optional. That's why iron-weilding LBFM mama-sans were invented.

Little Brown Folding Machines?

Yeah, sure. Something like that, anyway. I think you got the 'F' and the 'ing' portions correct.

I think the LBFM of your generation are much better than the BMO of our fightin mans generation.

For those who might not know ... Black Moving Objects ...

Laundry that can fold itself...now that is a research project I can get behind!

It's too bad current generations won't know the value of a five dollar bill, when you and your laundry got serviced all night, waking up to your laundry clean and folded in a nice stack. That alone brought a smile to one's face.

And in the rare event of terrorism, they became LBFJs. (Flak Jackets).

Even in Iwakuni, where the cost of living was significantly higher, we still got our barracks room cleaned, laundry washed and folded, cammies starched and ironed, and a meal prepared, all for the paltry sum of 25 bucks. Score!

For other servicing, we relied on either the non-indigenous personnel working the local buy-me-drinkies, or those in and around Hiroshima or Fukuoka. Of course, if you were 'dating' one of said personnel, you could get the package deal.

There were many great things about the PI. We could play 18 holes of golf with rented clubs and a caddy and buy the caddy a hot dog and Pepsi at the turn for about $8. And of course the clothes we were wearing on the course were freshly pressed!
