Absolutely impossible to keep clean.

You think you had troubles consider the poor swab that had to wear Navy Whites. The only pockets were the watch pocket that was sure to be soiled by a finger. Chalk was the only cure for tropical ports.

And the more we had to wear whites, the more they served spaghetti at chow. Argh

Young idiot that I was, I tossed a pair of red socks into the laundry with my whites. Thought no one would notice the pink tint, but a Navy wife at the geedunk suggested I bleach the hell out of the uniform, which I did.
