Post; When do I get gassed?


Once things get rolling In which week will I get to go to that wonderful chamber and do jumping jacks then take off my mask and get a lung full of tear gas?

Since I haven't got a clue about when the US military branches usually puts their rookies in the gas chamber, I'd shut my mouth.
But, knowing the idea behind it Id say anytime soon.

It's a purpose behind the agony, and you'll understand it once you're through with it.

Just remember not to do the big mistake of soaking your face in water afterwards!
Fresh air will do better!

And there's the reason for the physical exercise.

It all depends on your cadre. We did it on day 3, others did it on like week 4.

Dont worry about it man, it happens and its over. Embrace it and drive on. And dont be that guy who refuses to follow instructions and goes twice or three times.

No need to worry about that. I was just laughing like hell a week ago when he showed me pictures after him and his friends got out of it. All these big airborne guys with tears rolling down their face and snot falling out their nose. He said it was week 3 or 4 but said he couldnt be sure since hes been in the army 9 years.

If you like the smell of CS, you might want to give NBC a go.

Oh I just LOVE IT! Thats sarcasm.. Ive had a few experiences with pepper spray like stuff. I went to this ICP concert with my friend (No I do not listen to ICP). Then the cops sprayed me and him in the face and I wasnt doing anything, it was the people like 20 feet from us but they decided to grab us because we were pushing threw the crowd trying to leave.

Ummm no.

CS gas = 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile
Pepper Spray = oleoresin capsicum

Not even close.
