We don't you ask your NCOs? Or you can look it up in AR 670-1 for yourself.

Sure. Why not? Having said that, if there's a tape test, they have to be removed.

Why would you wear compression shorts when there are already compression shorts in the PT shorts? That just sounds...claustrophic

Short answer yes but also verify with chain of command each unit has their own bs rules.
