Don't know how it is now but when I was over there for Desert Storm there was no shortage of sunscreen. Maybe things have changed in the past 20 or so years.

Yea sunscreen is easy as pie to come across over in teh sandbox. Plenty of other ammenities that would be better suited to send over like, soft toilet paper haha. Not the gritty arse sandpaper crap.

I haven't had any military experience since 1973. So I'm not sure how much it has changed. I do know you were subject to an article 15 if you got yourself sunburned though.

The U.S. Army considered you a piece of their equipment and expected you to take care of their equipment.

Back then they provided all things necessary to do that.
