CS Gas Training

[JezzaL]

Only reason they let us out that quick was because they wanted us on the rifle range afterwards... and then bayonet training. Basically, the SSgts were bored. they made some guys do crap things, but they were keen to get back to watch the rugby I think. still, bloody hurt. That's me at 0.30...

[slingshotdude]

come to germany!

[faxxx0]

what''s the point?

[63517489]

@faxxx0 To trust your mask

[CrimsonGhost0489]

That Fucking shit feels like if your gonna die! I just got gassed on Thursday at TDCJ academy

[Jordane1941]

That was nothing. When i had to do it, i had to do my name, rank, number,what regiment i was joining, what was my favorite football team and to top it: PRESS UPS!!!

[123davedup]

this is nothing, i was in there for like 30 seconds

[Lolmaster881]

Real cs gas

/watch?v=pKSW7EwEyrI

[Dimeist]

I was in there for like a minute before i went out. Talked like normal aswell. Burns like shit on your skin though.

[guitarhero2211]

lucky assholes. i went through and they made me do push ups and say my social and try to sing the army song. that is so hard to do while in the leaning rest

[monkeyslikecars]

Same here man. Fuck Ft Knox's Gas chamber and assholes who cant velcro their damn pouches.we got smoked a second time as they were about to let us out b/c one guy could close his mask carrier properly

[63517489]

@guitarhero2211 50 Tablets in our room, we sat there with our masks off doing PT and shit, we only got out when one of the 9 of us start to lose conciousness, shit was rough

[guitarhero2211]

@63517489 i dont think anyone had it easy. CS gas hurts regardless.

[63517489]

@guitarhero2211 at 10 it makes you cough (regulation for TRADOC), 15 is tolerable, at 50 is when people start to suffocate as a few in our troop did.

[djsintek]

@63517489 bollocks

[DrMotorDude]

@guitarhero2211 EXACTLY! after push ups and flutter kicks - and good heavy breathing - we all inhaled WAY too much to say our names and last fours, let alone the Army song. These guys are getting a TASTE of it but none of them are gagging or violently coughing from actually inhaling it. I didn't vomit but I did cough up a meter long snot rope, it made a trail like a snail. I don't know about 'tablets' but I did see the 'solid, 1Kg, one ea' label. It was in a pan on a small cook stove.

[jtl41091]

@guitarhero2211 lol theres no push ups dude. stop trying to be cool

[guitarhero2211]

@jtl41091 7 years ago there were.

[scowboys18]

What branch is that? They had it easy in there! I was in there a lot longer.

[comsrsoviet]

ive had this shit sprayed in my face

and pepper spray

trust me... i would rather have the whole can of pepper spray in my face then one good spray of cs gas...

[ckelly202]

We i did it the fucking S/SGT asked me my fucking life story, it didnt feel too bad , just runny nose, eyes stung and when i got out i burped about 50 times, 2 pussies hit the deck in there

[rocklinrebel71]

dayum! who farted?!?!

[jfricke1188]

Thats pussy shit, no ready line, battery cadence. PUSSY SHIT. I did the gas chamber 3 fuckin times

[tomo7T1]

Was in the T.A for a few years and was not looking forward to the day i had to go in the chamber, i`m sure we were picked on because we were T.A because i was asked as well as my army number what football team i supported with the mask off !! it stings like fuck and it feels like your lungs are hanging out !! not a very pleasant experience, also just before we took the masks off they had us doing exercises in full NBC gear so we got nice and sweaty as CS gas attacks your pores

[Capcoor]

@tomo7T1 What's the T.A.?

[etheismann]

gixels... you must be a POG because you sure dont know how to spell it.

[gixelz]

this is bitch basic, when i went through we removed our mask for minutes and did pt in the chamber. this is probably a bunch of pogues.

[tankshot009]

theyre not american you dumbass!!! and its not theyre fault they didnt fail theyre asvab.

[kkuechler]

I thought that maybe this was boy scout gas chamber testing! I remember we went in as a group of five we all had to do responses and PT separately, when the last person was finished then we were released. I remember having snot from my nose to the ground the first time. I also almost puked on one of the sergeants from forcing air into my lungs.

[armymike661]

it aint that bad!!!

[515pits]

not really, makes your nose run alot and your eyes water if you breath it in

[squick1842]

when we did this we were in a bunker without holes the eir could come out of. The officer fired up 3 tablets, then asked us to take a deep breath. Not just speaking, and with window and door opening every second

[Chaingunkill]

You actually get used to it I find, never really overcome the irritation but nontheless you can stand more of it.

For all the Yanks here saying this and that about CS gas and them handling it, the UK stuff has 3% concentration as riot agent compared to US 1%, in other words over here it's 3 times as bad. (Source is emj journal - 'CS Incapacitant Spray'.)

Try doing phys right before you go in so you're sweating like a bastard, that's when you'll really feel it.

[concretedoor100]

the lower the concentration the more you feel it the U.S army can kick your brit ass anyday. dont fuck with us we have obama

[Chaingunkill]

Please, do tell me how the fuck that works.

Who said anything about 'fucking with you' either?, my uncle is a US Marine for fuck sake, you not noticed we are deployed alongside each other and have a common enemy to fight? (evidently not).

Get a grip, because if you join up you will find the forces a) do not tolerate bullshit, and b) do not tolerate cunts.

[DjDeeeeeeeee1]

Well Sayed ;-D

[kingsman565]

"dont fuck with us we have obama"

BLAH HA HA HA HA!!! LMMFAO!

[DrMotorDude]

Chaingun, The US military does not use spray. They use solid fuming agent - MUCH stronger than spray.

AND why are these guys not doing push ups or side straddle hops? The guys in this video have it too easy.

[Chaingunkill]

@DrMotorDude As a matter of fact, the CS used in here is solid fuming agent. We had 12 capsules lit when I did it in basic, and the last time we did it we were made to do phys in the chamber. Then again it's only supposed to be testing fit of the respirator and correct drills, not a punishment, by which I can think of far more brutal punishments we've had inflicted upon us than anything CS can throw our way. Also does feck all if you're immune to the stuff too.

[DrMotorDude]

@Chaingunkill "Over here it's 3 times as bad" = Bullshit. IF you are able to state your name and number IT IS NOT 3% - I guarantee it. BTW, a respirator is for industrial use ie: paint, solvent, pesticides, etc. and will not protect the user against anti riot gas or chemical warfare agents, but a 'protective mask' (different filter media all together) will. I NEVER said it was 'for punishment' - NBC training is for the soldier to correctly use and TRUST his equipment.

[Chaingunkill]

@DrMotorDude blame the Political correctness brigade for bringing in the term 'respirator', I'm quite happy to refer to it as a gas mask (which is what it is) - that's indoctrination for you.

If NBC training is for the soldier to correctly use and trust their equipment, what the fuck is the point in fucking them about unnecessarily then?, once the confidence test is over, the drills done, then the only realistic reason to keep someone in there/do more is just to fuck them about.

[DrMotorDude]

@Chaingunkill Political correctness - I agree, it's BS. After I left active duty as a medic, I went to Univ. and among other things studied psychology of war. The reason for NBC is to MAKE IT STICK in the memory, same reason the Foreign Legion still smacks trainees when they screw up. PAIN makes the human brain remember faster than anything. As for staying in longer-big difference in eye/nose irritation and actually inhaling the gas/crystals. I went in '89 and recall it in vivid detail.

[Chaingunkill]

@DrMotorDude Fair play man and I suppose it does make sense now you put it that way.

[wally2296]

They did they same thing with me when I went to fort knox. Went through twice. The only part that irritated me the most was when your skin itches and burns like hell all round your neck and your wrist.

[free4umatt]

holy shit. they went soooo fucking easy on you. i had bct at ft leonard wood mo. and we had to do some light exercise to get the blood pumping, then we all raised our face pro, with eyes closed and breath held, as to check the seal, then after that, we took the face pro off held it over our head and were in the chamber for at least 45 seconds. we didnt even wear our mop gear. army

[supern0va69]

"officer cadet (coff coff coff) 2425 (coff coff coff coff coff coff) fuck it.

[aintnobiscuit]

wow, when i went through BCT we were in there for a LOT longer than that! They made you take a full breath and then nobody could leave until we were all lined up with our hand on the persons back in front of you.... pussies

[pepsicoke90]

same here...where did you go?

[aintnobiscuit]

I went to fort sill, OK. It was insane... i arrive november 14th if i remember right. So i was there through winter, doing our 15k(yeah right) march while the ground was icy. looking back, i loved every minute of it!

[pepsicoke90]

fort sill is where i went, it was during the summer though.

[steveoscouts]

Pirbright?

+

Are you TA?

[lethaneck]

wow thats pussy

[ruttnstarjna]

haha... ok but this is nothing compared to my training i had. We were wearing teeshirt, cargo pant and gasmask. then we had to do 100 jumping jacks in the gas chamber. the the gas flow. After that one by one, we took off our gasmask and we had to sing the abc song.

[Do3r17]

What training is that for?

[konachai1]

I was in the military for 20 years, the training is to learn how to protect yourself from any type of gas lethal or non lethal agents, using your suit and gas mask, glove and boots. If you are fine in there you are using your equipment properly. it simulates a gas attack on soldiers. I was in the Navy.

[P1986M]

Im in basic now and we had to sing songs or just talk about our family.

[MyElement5]

Wow, we had to go through that in selection for the SWAT team, we also had to get pepper spray sprayed in our faces.

[willobi]

OH..YES!!

happy days as a tom!

[dazzlert]

Thats hardly anythin to what i had to do in there in my trainin lol i hated it, it feels like your eyes, face and throut are on fire lol

[WarpedRealityNYC]

these guys had it easy! In my training we had to answer questions for like 2 minutes without the mask. That was brutal!

[wilki5300]

fuckin ryt, I was kept in there for fuckin ages! being asked stupid questions that didnt have an answer. they get it far too easy nowerdays!

[dangerdevo]

when i did the gas huts one of my instructors came in drinking coffee without a mask and was talking to us. some people feel the effects more than others.

i think that the gas hut experience was overall a good one as it gave me confidence in my drills and my equipments effectiveness overall.

[Enemyofgod18]

1 out of 10 people are immune to the effects or just used to it

[dliw06]

that is fucking awesome "Coffee

[hemiram04]

you can buy an aerosal can of it, buy a gun instead guns always work on drunks and drug addicts sometimes cs doesn't affect psychotics

[Zapadac]

Okay, I know this is part of boot camp, but the exercise is pointless and stupid. All aromatic chloro compunds are carcinogenic, and in all organic cyanide compounds, there is some free cyanate. Cyanide is found in the tissues of everyone exposed to CS gas. There's no need for this sort of playing around. No one has died from this..yet. When the first death occurs, there will be bad press, investigations, etc., and then the playing with chemicals will end.

[Badjedidude]

lol of all the things future soldiers will face, carcinogens are the least of their worries.

This prepares them for the day when they may truly need to use their masks--they'll be able to do it without panicking because they've done it in "hazardous conditions" before.

..besides, two minutes (or less) once in your lifetime won't kill you.

[Zapadac]

They do this in Navy boot camp. What a laugh. Do you know what is so cool about the navy? When you're out on a ship, you're never gonna get shot at. And if soldiers ever have to deal with gas on a battlefield, it ain't gonna be CS gas. It's going to be something much worse. They won't have time to panic. It's either mask on or die.

[SkinSinFilms]

Well that depends on whether or not your enemy has a navy and airforce of it's own. Plenty of squids got shot at during WWII.

[SkinSinFilms]

It also reinforces confidnence in the mask as a trooper learns that his mask does indeed work. This is an easy exercise. All us jarheads had to get in a line that ringed the CS chamber and take off our maskies the slowly file out of the chamber...if you were near the end of the line like I was it sucked. My advice...short sharp extremely shallow breaths that give your mind the illusion that your body is breathing without actually taking air/CS deep into your lungs.

[runescapecat454]

So some people handle it better than others?

[armymike661]

you guys are a bunch of poofs! i was in there for ages! we had dummy fights and pissed about for about 10 mins! you did'nt get any train'n out of that! now go and have a shower!

[medic041282]

We had to say our name, rank and tell a joke before we were let out of the gas house. i lasted about 20 - 30 seconds (felt like it) all i got was mild irritation in my lungs, most of the stinginess went to the face and eyes (which was worse when i went outside). when i got outside i got threatened that i would get my rsm's boot shoved somewhere if i came anywhere near him lol

[ezkoent]

cs gas sucks ass. it feels like ur breathing in small particles of broken glass. cn gas feels like ur dipped in a bowl of jalapeno peppers. nice vid

[Simstein77]

thats weak, for engineering in NAVY A" School, we have to doff, say our sailors creed, don, then purge, then leave. mines coming up in the next week...ughh

[steventuggle]

Lucky you we went in without gloves or any of that. Then did PT then unmasked and had to open our eyes and stay in the chamber for about 4 min.

[PTS107]

We had to unmask, Name, Rank, Number, Unit, Subunit. Then, If we hadn't breathed it in by then, we got asked unanswerable questions until we had. Then, a 10 second pause, then allowed to go out. If you tried to run out, you got dragged back, and made to walk.

[famoklar]

Mate you lucky bastards...

I had to take it off, name and number, then the sgt fhking asked me how many tours in NI he did, i went "errr 3" and he went "wrong its 2" and made me to 20 press ups no mask.

[coop3334]

we had to walk in formation through about 10 or 12 canisters its not that bad until you get a face full of it.

[rickotie]

i guess its just an american military thing, but there a general opinion we americans took it more seriously. i went through seven times , just walking through saying the soldiers creed, in and out b/c some dropped their k-pod inside.

[CrazySandite]

Oh thats bullshit! We had to lift the mask off, say our SSN, then put it back on.

Then had to wait in like for another 5 minutes while its burning the skin, only to take it all the way off and try and say the Soldiers Creed.

Had to be in there for 15sec with it off.

[scrofulaeggula]

I'm sure we were in longer than that. Mind you, a second felt like a year in there :p

[MaryMagdaleene]

i wonder how it actually feels.i am soon joining the navy and will have to do this so i wonder.anyone have advise??

[hemiram04]

short shallow breaths, don't rub your eyes 3-5 minutes after getting out of it you feel normal again. Mental panic usually does more to most people than the actual physical effects.

[comet713]

Brings back memories of my RAAF JOIC at Point Cook a few years ago! I recall the ADG instructors telling us "Remember NOT to wash the gear in the laundry either as you'll gas anybody in there when the crystals turn back to gas!" Nice stuff!

[sandrayusmc]

very weak, last time i went i was in 10 min. thats what happens in the Corp when one guy doesnt take his mask off. we all stood there burning till he did. more like we helped him get it off! lol. the instructors laughed there ass off! good times!

[sandrayusmc]

lol! wish we coulda been in an out, u jus said done and ran out? wtf? Semper Fi!

[Ikoniak]

That was fucking weak. I had to be in the chamber for 4 mins with my mask off. These guys where in there for what? 10 seconds? Weak...

[Auintr]

None of those guys lasted more than 5 seconds, and the officer in charge let them out before reporting to him. That was one sad line of recruits.

[cantineric]

you guys had it easy. we went in unmasked and when it hit us we had to do our masking/decontamination drills.

[ApostolicGodsChild]

Memeories, that wasn't very fun but it was cool to experience, Air Force all the way baby!

[JezzaL]

Yeah that wasn't fun AT ALL :)Thank god we got it done
