Not if they're issued to you.
Are you deploying as an individual (as I assume from the question)? Only select units are receiving MC; it's still not very common. As for FR, if rec'd for your mission, it will be issued...most units get it even though they never leave the wire. The good news is, "they've" finally loosened up on wear of the ACS...by which I mean you can actually wear it now (when first issued it was regulated into uselessness (can't wear it here, can't wear it there, must have either a jacket or armor over it at all times, etc.). Your links don't work for me, but I know what you are talking about...unless you DID mean the Bullfrog suns screen, in which case the answer is still yes, it will be issued to you. |

Some unconventional Navy personnel wear the shirts, can't say anything about Army though. THe USMC/USN have the FROG; the US Army uses the Masiff shirts. 
MASIFF SHIRT gB2k~$(KGrHqJ,!iYEv1+z)nJpBMLdwVhm8g~~_3.JPG)
FROG SHIRT Same purpose, just different color and cut; i think both shirts are made with the same fire-retardant fabric, but not 100% sure of it. |

Hopefully the Army is having better luck with their outfit than we are with ours. The FROG bottoms just don't last, they tear up pretty quick in the field. To the best of my knowledge, the FROG acronym (started by the USMC) is being used for the MulitCam Army uniforms. Basically equivalent to FRACUs. |

I think FROG stands for "fire retardant outer garment" (not fire resistant)... Not sure. |

| If they issued it to you, than you are G2G. There is no reason you should ever buy it with your own money. If it was issued to you and you are wearing it because your mission requirements dictated it then stand tall and complete the mission. If someone gives you sh?t for it, then just say “rodger that SM, I will fix myself” for if you are an officer say “ I will take that under advisement SM” and move on. |
