I don't follow, why for the theater? 

Going to a . movie in Saigon in 1969 was occasionally quite dangerous. We would be wearinguniforms in a dark theater 

A month earlier, I was on guard duty at night. I heard someone jump over a fence. It was the same guy. He was lucky that I recognized his voice. He had just gotten laid. As much as I liked his amazing ass he was crazy to be walking around in the dark. I knew he would argue about  buying underwear

Still makes no sense. Going to a dark movie in uniform was dangerous so wear underwear?

He was leaving Vietnam a in few days. I was leaving in a week. If there was a problem with MPs near the theater he should have been wearing underwear under his uniform. We had seen "Pretty Poison"  at Camp Davies where we were stationed

Sorry, but I still don't follow. If there was a problem with MP's near the theater, why would they or anybody be checking for underwear?

I don't know about undershorts, but we were required to wear T-shirts with open-collared uniforms like fatigues and khakis - it was part of the uniform.

He must have had a thick hide not to wear underwear under fatigues.  We sent our fatigues to the quartermaster laundry - when they came back, they were so stiff with starch that they would almost stand up by themselves.  Putting on a uniform fresh from the laundry was called "breaking starch."  We were expected to look ultra-neat all the time so we didn't like to break the starch in our pockets.  Instead, we put our cigarettes and wallets inside of our shirts.  I got so used to doing that, that I kept it up for years afterward.
