Browsing the web is a service provided to them and is not unauthorized in most cases. It's not the military comm systems or other combat systems being used. They have PC's available at the bases for people to use for internet access and as a means to communicate with family/friends at home as well as browse the web.

You have two type of access one should be fairly open to communicate with family and friends around the base and the other is official. Those are restricted to "reduce" the fooling around and avoid picking up spyware/adware and other nice stuff like in any industry. I do not think he was using the family and friends because it was restricting to some "harmless" sites. The equipment that he was using is his work computer and this is the unauthorized use.
