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.
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.

They told us the same thing I served from the late 80's through the late 90's.

I read this, too. This is what really drove me to create a thread and find out if it was true.
It was mailed out by an "Individual Mary Kay Beauty Consultant" in partnership with "Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, Inc".
Here's a link to their public info:
