Umm... Why they are actually going to gas chamber? I don't get it, what is that supposed to teach you?

[calebmccary]

@0ttoK It's to give you confidence in your protective mask and to give the cadre an opportunity to laugh at you.

@calebmccary actually, it's called NBC training. (n)uclear, (b)iological and (c)hemical training. yes, it is to give you confidence in your gear but you're always gonna get issued new gear. it's more to train you and show you what it feels like to get gassed.

and for the DS' to laugh at you. lol

[calebmccary]

@tgbdavila Actually they've updated the name and they now call it CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear). It used to be NBC but that has been updated.

[tgbdavila]

@calebmccary that's the army for ya. always changing things. lol. i graduated 14AUG09. NBC was the name when i was trained.

[calebmccary]

@tgbdavila Yeah, I still usually call it NBC too. It will probably be a long time before it becomes common to call it CBRN. Most DS's probably still call it NBC because that is what they've known for forever.

@superbeauthy You're a fucking dumbass.. they don't gas animals. they inject them with something that kills them humanely. Don't fucking talk if you don't know what you're talking about.

i made it to the 2nd warrior etho when i needed to breathe again, lol bad idea hahaha loved the gas chamber

[thompson8305]

when i went through the gas chamber i never had a proper seal...my webbing broke before i could tell a d.s. about it i was being ushered in. i figured it wouldn't be so bad, but it was. it doesn't really matter, they make you take the mask off anyways and make you answer questions. i went through with my unit a few months ago and i didn't have a mask. i had to say the NCO creed. i made it through the first part.

@blackyblackblack505 people have asthma in my unit. i think it depends on the severity of it.

@0ttoK It's supposed to get you used to gas attacks. And it also is supposed to teach you how to use the equipment for those types of situations. Also partially to man you up, most people would probably break down if they got caught in tear gas, but a soldier needs to be tougher.
