Are they allowed to have bug spray and sunscreen during BCT? Bugs might not be a biggie in CO like it is in NC. But, getting sunburned is a real risk and I don't see sunscreen as an allowable item on the checklist?
Not sure about the bug spray, but my son did take sunscreen and was allowed to keep it, but they also issued sunscreen to basics. And at least in my son's squadron, they were told to use it! They'll get water canteens/camel backs etc too, and be "encouraged" (told) to drink plenty of water to help with the adjustment to the altitude.
