In our barracks at Clark Air Base in the Philippines in the early 60s, we had houseboys (even if they were in their mid-6os). For a couple of bucks a month, they did all of our laundry (less the 505s), shined our boots and cleaned the barracks. We had to take the 505 uniforms (khakis) to a base laundry where they used rice starch, and they really stank after a couple of hours of wear.

At a small NATO base in Southern Italy in my follow-on tour, we had a laundry room per floor of the barracks, and a base laundry.
