Wow I kne they used live agents in training but never nerve gas

@Arashieatssweets , no Nerve Gas, just plain old CS tear gas. I was just joking around when I said that. It would be a pretty bad way of testing the proper use and function of a gas mask by using a fatal agent to check it out, with no way for a do-over. Plus, the government would need to spend more money to train a whole new Marine to replace the one whose mask failed to protect them. The best solution is to let the CS gas teach you how to use the mask, better for the taxpayer and the Marine.

im 14 and my dad was in deset storm in 1991 and im going into the army when im old enough iv always been inspired by the army, marines, navy ,and air force

@trappedunderice6815, I originally tried to sign up for the Air Force, but was assigned a lazy recruiter who took way too long to get things done. I ended up joining the Marines. Start the process early so you can weed out any problems.

I see on your page you are into metal music. Since you're into older metal too, I do see a big headliner you left out, Judas Priest. Saw them live once in the mid 80's and never forgot it. If you haven't checked them out before, do so. You won't be disappointed.

@PeoplesWar

i kno right

[PeoplesWar]

Yeah, Hollywood almost never gets anything right. LOL Even in the

90s and the 2000s, they trick it out so much that twenty years from now, we'll be saying the same thing about the current time period.

The movie Top Gun was different, however. I felt it actually captured the look and feel of the '80s, which is why its such a good movie. And when I watch your great videos, its good to know that the more things change, the more things stay the same as well.
