Basic Training Gas Chamber

This is video that was recorded by a photography company in Columbus, Georgia while I was in US Army Basic Combat Training from August-Nov 1997. This company would record various bits of training and then rip of the Joes by charging them large quantities of hard-earned money for this bouncy, grainy video. Anyways....its good to have this record of what I was going through, though it is hardly all-encompassing. This is video from the gas chamber. We would walk into this building filled with CS gas also known as tear gas (chlorobenzalmalononitrile). We all had our protective masks on. After standing there for a while, you were told to take off your mask. At that time you would feel the full brunt of the effects. I suppose the training purpose was to give you "confidence" in your mask...since you had been standing in there and were fine until you took your mask off. Anyway, you can see some of the effects: burning eyes (and sometimes skin), profuse tears, nausea etc. Good stuff...Hooah! More clips from my basic training to come.

actually, CS gas can kill.Most of the dead from the Waco seige died of CS inhalation, NOT smoke inhalation (they drowned in their own mucus, because the ATF assholes, in specific violation of government doctrine for use of CS, pumped it into enclosed spaces, and those occupied by children and infants.)In an autopsy, it's easy to tell the difference -- the CS casualties didn't have any smoke in their lungs because they already stopped breathing by the time the smoke got to their locations.

urworstenemy666well, that's the theory.I've had asthma for years now, been through the gas chamber several times, and I'm still in. But they give me the option of going through or not. However, I do think I'm gonna stop de-masking -- it's hard on the lungs.

Before mobilizing to Iraq, my infantry company was made part of an MP battalion -- so we had to go through police-baton training, and then a confidence course using the baton after being sprayed with 5% pepper spray (OC).I *USED* to think CS is bad.I would rather go through the CS gas chamber every morning for a month...with a FULL grenade (30 tablets) instead of just 3 tablets before getting OC'ed again.With CS, you're decontaminated in 10 minutes.OC is 2+ hours of your face on fire

Same method, much different drugs. The drugs used to execute someone are not allowed to be used for animal euthansia. Vets belive there are problems with the drugs used to execute humans.

most likely it would be caught before they go to the gas chamber b/c its usually later in training that they do that. if its not caught then it gets caught when they get the gas and then they would be discharged after being taken to the hospital.

what happens if someone who has asthma goes into the tear gas chamber? i know you cant be in the military if you have asthma its just a "what if" question lol
