I joined the Air Force in 2001 right before 9/11 and yes, everyone goes through the gas thing. It's too demonstrate how your MOPP gear works, and you need to know in a non- combat situation how to respond. The principle is practice will give you an advantage in responding. But in reality it was only one time for me, and MOPP exercises were rare, even with threats of biological weapons and such.

I’ve been exposed to CS multiple times, in both military and law enforcement training settings. I honestly felt nothing worse than some minor involuntary coughing, even whilst a few people next to me vomited uncontrollably. Same thing with pepper spray- some people freaked out hysterically and panicked like headless chickens, whilst some of us barely even winced or complained. Different humans can react wildly differently to the very exact same stimuli. The thing that you watch and think may be brutal, inhumane, and unspeakable torture for all human beings may be nothing but a minor inconvenience for someone else.

The issue is the military doesn't say that. If they just came out and said "this is necessary training" it'd be find. Andy's point at the end is the exact reason this shit happens today, we were so tight lipped about everything related to the military that people began to distrust it, so now we're open and transparent trying to build back trust (since you know, drone strikes, black sites ext so on.) but instead of just saying "we want them to understand that their gas masks work and the only way to do that is to have them stand in CS gas with it on, see that they're fine and then take it off and see that they aren't fine" way more people would understand that than wouldn't. You have to expect this level of scrutiny when you account for roughly 45% of all federal expenditure, as well as a 20 year war, it would be idiotic if we had any less oversite, and we've all seen what happens when you let guys police themselves.

That's interesting about the young man dying from pneumonia after hell week. When I was in boot camp in the Army, during phase 2, we were maybe about a month or two away from graduating. I came down with pneumonia. Now it seemed like it happened all of a sudden, but thinking back I realized I wasn't getting enough sleep to recover each night, I was out in the sun or rain or cold all day, and night. The only symptoms I had was being extremely tired to where I would fall asleep almost standing up, along with no energy and a headache. Once we got back from (field training) FTX training for 4 or 5 days straight. I ran straight to the barracks bathroom and was with a few battle buddies chatting and all of a sudden I felt a strong cough and proceeded to cough over and over from my lungs. Everyone came up to me asking if I was okay, I said "I'm not sure..." next thing I know I'm coughing into the sink and I saw a LOT of blood which I was coughing up into the sink for like a good 30 seconds. One of the guys said "hey man, this is serious you need to ask the drill Sgt to go to sick call cause if you keep going to might die." I agreed it all hit me at once and could barely walk it took two soldiers to help escort me to the drill Sgt office. We explained the situation he said "why are you still here? Hurry up and go!" Once I got there they immediately took me back because they had to get be a bucket due to me puking up so much blood. Once that took me back into the room I had a 2 nurses and a doctor asking me what had happened and such. This was the time when I started falling in and out of consciousness, and I remember them telling me "we need to transport you to an off-base hospital because your condition is too severe for us to treat here." That scared me. So once the ambulance got there I was in the back strapped down still in my uniform with a bucket puking blood still. I got to the hospital over an hour later and all I could hear during the times I was awake were the nurses and doctors talking about how serious my condition was and that I might not make it. They came and asked if there was any family I would like for them to call for me. To make this long story short they had me on an oxygen mask for most of the day, and started IV antibiotics. Strong ones. Two days later I was for the most part awake and alert and feeling much better. They had me start walking slowly around the hospital around my floor to get some exercise back. I was in there a total of 5 days. The doctor came and said to me near the end "honestly, we thought we were going to lose you because of how serious your condition was. You are very very lucky." She also showed me the X-rays they took when I first came in and my whole left lung had a giant white blob she said that was where the pneumonia was and it was spreading. They took X-rays again around day 4 and it seemed it was just a out completely gone. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE NOVEL YALL I just thought it would be relevant to hear my story along with this one. Thanks for reading.

In case anyone is wondering. On day 5 I got my discharge papers from the hospital and my drill Sgt came to get me from the hospital. He asked me if I was feeling better enough to continue training since we were SO CLOSE to graduation. I joined as OSUT, which is boot camp followed by your job training all rolled into one. So yeah basically about 5 odd months of basic/AIT. Oh yeah with less than 2 months left I did not want to just give up at that point and get recycled or get a discharge without a completion. Luckily the time I spent in the hospital from my last PT test to the one that we took while I was in the hospital my scores were high enough to pass the 1 that they took while I was in the hospital so they just took my PT scores from the last test and rolled it over to this 1 and they let me continue until I graduated eventually I am so glad that I stuck it out after I got out of the hospital and didn't just decide to quit or go home Because you can never replace that feeling of when you truly accomplish something great like a great feat that truly not a lot of people can say they have done and I feel proud of myself because I learned a lot about myself throughout those 5 some months. I learned my limitations, my weaknesses, as well as my strengths. I'm very grateful for the opportunity I had and I took it and ran with it and I suggest anyone else in the same situation or similar situation do the same. Maybe even do some program similar to that cause I understand qualms about working for US government, but there's other things out there that can teach you very similar things. I cannot even list all of the things I learned over my time being there. I see them more as skills because I will at times find myself being a Mcguyver of some sort, but making things work temporarily. As well as learning some Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, how to properly and safely handle multiple sizes and types of firearms, learning how to fix jams while firing, and also cleaning said weapons. I learned loads more confidence about myself as well as to stick up for myself. (More stories about that... I have dozens guys...just ask)

This country is the spreader of Neo Liberalism throughout the world, it has truly become the Great Satan, yet you still sit back and pretend like things aren’t that bad or that if you just vote Republican one more time that it might actually do something. All of our embassies have rainbow and BLM flags hanging for all to see, this country literally bombs other countries for not being gay or Liberal enough, if a country goes out side the Neo Liberal globo homo order, we sanction them or bomb them into oblivion for not being “democratic” enough.

In the British military CS is used to give everyone confidence that their respirator (gas mask) works and they have a proper seal around their face. It is also used to ensure that when you conduct certain drills like changing canisters or eating and drinking are done correctly. We think it hysterical watching others go through the gas chamber, there is nothing brutal about it, just pretty unpleasant. And we don’t have the option of quitting during this, you are doing it or you’re on a charge.

I was a server at a restaurant for a while, back when I was a teenager, but I’ve never really thought of myself as a hero, though, to be honest. I was just doing my job, no differently than Lakeisha, Shanice, or Miss Betty. In addition to serving customers, for two dollars and thirteen cents an hour, plus tips, I’ve played tennis a few times, as well, and, though I wasn’t very good at it, I did have the opportunity to serve, multiple times, on each of those occasions, and, let me just say, the pleasure was all mine. It was a tremendous honor, quite frankly, getting to serve to my brothers, Jimbo and Skeeter, who each happened to be just as bad at it as I was, and I honestly never even thought twice about it, at the time, as crazy as that sounds. I really can’t explain it, but serving just felt like it was the right thing to do, seeing how it was my turn, and that’s what you do in tennis, and what not. If I ever had to go back in time, for some strange reason or another, and relive those days, when I was serving, all over again, I can proudly say, with full confidence, that I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d absolutely do it all over again, and I wouldn’t even hesitate, because I know my brothers would do the same for me. I don’t quite feel comfortable calling myself a hero, still, but I can certainly see that I’m worthy of the title, anyway, without a doubt, so I will, at least, acknowledge that, just so that, hopefully, I won’t come across as being too modest. I still must say that I don’t really think I’m a hero, though, despite the fact that I clearly am one, but I truly appreciate your kindness, anyway, in thanking all the brave, patriotic Americans, like me, who are serving, or have served in the past. It’s only because of the most heroic men, of unbelievable strength and courage, such as me, that ye are free. If thou love thy country, and all its many neat freedoms, of which I’ve so graciously bestowed upon thee, then ye shall giveth thanks, and bow down to me, for the rest of eternity. God bless me, for I am a real American hero. Thank me for my service, and God bless America! Oorah! Hooah! Zippidy Do Dah! Look who just took a Pooopah!

My cousin just graduated the court officer training program in MA. Court officers don't carry firearms. They don't really do much in the way of arresting. It's possible there is a scuffle every so often, but generally with those who are already detained/in waiting cells, usually handcuffed and restrained in some capacity. Even they had to go through a pepper spray training protocol similar to what you would see in State Police / Army basic. Not gas, sure, but still sucks, and these are folks who probably will never have a combat situation occur in their workplace where they would need to know how to react. We should probably be thankful that there are those willing to go through getting gassed rather than shaming them for it.

Given that this is incredibly rare, to say the least, I'd say the entire situation was a huge exception. You HAVE to do everything in your power to make sure the training is as realistic as the lethal scenarios you're facing. They're training these guys for combat, and all the circumstances that they could potentially encounter (that includes diseases infested 3rd world countries). They don't inject soldiers with pneumonia, then dunk them in a tank of nerve gas, while telling them to "suck it up!"...which is damn-near how you're making it sound. What would you be saying had this guy died of the exact same causes in combat in the desert??? What would you say if the guy was attacked by a great white off the shore of SoCal while training in underwater demolition? Would you say they should ditch the scuba training, and go through the motions on dry land???? Pampering soldiers who's mommy and daddy's might be working in the medical field probably isn't a real good way to get our *ELITE* soldiers "combat ready", dude. Our military is already made up of a bunch of woke, over-weight, p**sies, that signed up for the handouts that go along with being in the military. If this training isn't potentially lethal, then it's pointless. The U.S. military is weak enough right now with all the other left-wing problems we're experiencing, without nerph-ing the training.

I do remember him mentioning San Clemente too. It was his 18th birthday, he was put inside of a small room with some other guys. He said that he was tested with multiple gases in this room. He told me that the scariest one was the last one they used on them. It was odorless and invisible. He was told to take his mask off and as soon as he did, everything turned white! After that they let you outside and you get to run around to get the gas off of you. So if you ever get gassed, run around, don’t use water or try to wipe it off.

Getting gassed at basic is one of the most memorable moments. Hell, they even photographed it and put it in our "year book". Guys trying to run out and getting hip tossed by the DS, guys throwing up powdered eggs into their gas mask.

My experience with CS Gas in Basic Training was great. I have terrible seasonal allergies and after exiting the Hut all the snot ran out of my head and I hadn't felt better. Honestly it did suck, but the after effects were great.

Even I went through that as a Navy recruit in 2000. No big deal it was over in 20 minutes, it sucked yes but it shows the importance of your gas mask. As a matter of fact that day was better than most of the other days because that was something different and interesting. Also my recruit class was coed and still everyone passed that evolution.

I do recall in the Air Force getting gassed. (Mid 1990s). Don’t recall if it was in basic or tech school training. Yep, as explained, snot, mucous, tears etc but nothing bad that can’t be overcome. The Marine hit the nail on the head…these training policies and tactics being questioned and wrote about by folks who don’t have the balls to join the service themselves. (Those weren’t busy exact words but you follow).

He makes the point well but I'm at a loss as to why anyone would not immediately assume the gas exposure was to expose them to it first off the battlefield.

One of the primary goals is to build trust in your protective mask (gas mask). It does work well (at least against CS gas).

This just blew mind. I attended a military academy in Guatemala from 13 to 18y/o. Junior high and highschool. When we were 15 or 16, (my class), in 1982 we had this map navigation 3 day campaign. In one of the largest military bases of the country. Guatemala was sunk in a civil bloody war from 1960 to 1997. So we were trained beyond the normal "toy soldier" school. One night, we had this "night target practice". We all had m1 garands. Yes, we carried them basically for marching from 13, but at 16 we Actually had that kind of training. To my point: at the end of the range , just in front of the targets, there was this 6 feet deep trench. After shooting three 8 cartridge chargers, we had to make a line and go down that trench crouching and yelling our serial number for about 30 yards. Whilst the others were still target practicing. But that's not all, they would feel the trench with tear gas, so we ended up all gagging and involuntarily crying at the end of the run. We saw it as "normal". As a matter of fact that was only the first time. (The tear gas, I mean). We went in different training campaigns, (that's how the called them), every 3 to 6 months. To be honest it was always an adventure. We were 16! We didn't know better. We all wanted to be Rambo. Many of us went to officers school. Some of us dropped out. (I had a drinking problem since highschool), some 1/3 of the class graduated, but half of them were killed or critically injured in combat. The war "ended" in 1997. The Marxist and maoist guerillas ended up proposing "Peace Talks", the conflict was over, but they were able to martir/victim and sell/buy their policies and ideologies into politics and eventually got to government. Now Guatemala is sunk again, but in poverty, drugs and death. Not even the Kaibiles could stop them. Many, many soldiers are still in prison from those days to date...

The thing one of them says at the end about transparency, “there should be public trust that we’re doing the right thing”, the rubbed me very much the wrong way. It’s demonstrated over and over throughout history that given power with no oversight it’s literally just a matter of time before it’s abused.

In the coast guard in early 90s we had this training. All ships on east coast went through a yearly refresher training in guantonamo Bay. ALL personal regardless of rank Went into a fourth yard container over (100 degrees mid July when I did it) gasz was released we had 30 se ones to dawn our masks, we kept them on for 1minute, took them off for 90 seconds (so we would not be able to hold our breath), 30 seconds to get mask back on, 1 minute more with masks on. 5 minutes total to pass. It taught us that as much as that sucked, we could deal with it of need be. Better to have the experience and confidence that we could survive in that situation, than running out of a gassed building or ship compartment into a hail of gunfire in a real life combat situation. Anyone who can not under this is completely irrational

I was in the regular Army, in basic training, and the drill sergeant gently punched me in the gut to make sure I breathed in the gas. lol I was a sneaky mf and they knew it... We all came out of that place, not able to breath basically, more snot coming from my nose than I knew could exist, eyes crying, coughing so hard I thought I might die if I didn't escape. They let us out, obviously... There was always those one or two people it barely affected... lucky ass hats. This was in like, 2010. Not THAT long ago... we had to get gassed like, every few years. Calm down people out there!

I did a normal boot camp for my normal conscription in my normal European country and we did a CS drill in a bunker. It was not voluntary, it was mandatory. Fun fact, a small percentage of the population is almost immune to CS. Two lads did everything the mask-clad command demanded, then sang and did pushups until command got bored and cut them loose. If only I was as fortunate. It sucked balls but now I know how it feels.
