Ranger Panties!!

I know some of you are asking what ranger panties are. Ranger panties are the shortest shorts I have ever seen. And I don't see mamy women wearing then. Unfortunately they are the shorts that my hubby wears for pt every day along with lounging around the house in them. They are similar to the cut of running shorts, have a thin lining on the inside but still leave no room for the imagination. When I used to work out at the gym on post I didn't know whether to laugh or avert my eyes since they are one size fits all. However certain people should never be allowed to wear them!

Only near a military base will you see guys picking up their kids from school wearing these short shorts and a short, or running along the side of the street. My hubby included. He wears them constantly.

I remember the first time I saw him wearing them. We had just started dating and he was visiting me in Wisconsin. It was January which means it was about 5 degrees and we decided to go to the gym. We both left wearing sweatpants and jackets. At the gym I decided to do cardio. The cardio machines were situated in front of the weights. As I am on my eliptical I see M take off his sweatpants and step out in these short shorts. I almost died of embarassment. When he walked over to me the first thing I said was, what are you wearing!! I have to admit I still tease him for wearing those shorts all the time.

We went out to dinner with a good friend of M's last night you Pcs'd to Florida last year and he was sharing a similar story about his girlfriend's reaction to ranger panties. Ahh you know you are married to a military man when he wears shorter shorts than I do!

  4. So, K has some "bomb suit panties," as he calls them (you wear them under a bomb suit). I'm pretty sure they're the exact same things. He LOVES the damn things, and wears them all the time.

    I can't even get them over my hips, they are THAT tight - and we wear the same pants size, which is even stranger.

    He once wore them to take the trash out, I was mortified that the neighbors might see. He sauntered out there like he owned the place.
