Notes:
One of the most dreaded events at basic training is the gas chamber. Let me tell you exactly what will happen and give you some tips to make it more bearable:
CS gas or tear gas (not deadly, just riot control)
Purpose: gives you confidence in your chemical equipment
Smile for the historian
Waive your hands in the air and don’t rub your eyes
Follow these tips and the gas chamber will still be a terrible experience, but it will be less terrible.
