New Training Location for Resistance to Being Gassed...

SENT TO FORT KNOX, KY., for Army basic training, my fiance, Roland, underwent standard adaptability tests. Once, he and five other trainees were told to don gas masks and enter a gas-filled chamber one by one. Inside, a drill sergeant ordered each soldier to remove his and recite his name, rank and serial number before exiting. Except for Roland, every trainee began coughing – eyes watering and noses running. The sergeant looked surprised that Roland was unaffected by the gas, so my fiance explained, "I'm from L.A."
