Here are some pictures of my brothers company walking out of the gas chamber. The second page is of them in the gas chamber. I found my brother on the 3rd and 4th pictures on the first page.

Just wondering why were they in there?

[LSJ]

Nuclear/Biological/Chemical warfare training I suppose.

Basically standard stuff, that training is done in order to make the soldier more used to use gasmask, and well, get used to that stuff... As far as Im concerned, I think Katulobotomia or someone else with military training could give better answer since I haven't had military training yet.

We in the CF do NBCR (or what ever the new acronym is. . .) We do it in MOPP 4, were we got the Bunny Suit, Gas Mask, Gloves, and boots on. . . hot as hell. . . it is to make sure you are qualifiedly to use your gas mask and know how to use it during a time of NBCR attack. You are suppose to get the Qual each year in the CF, but that dosnt happen too often.

You train using CS Gas, which is similar to Tear Gas just more potent, it is also used by Riot Police alongside Tear Gas. CS Gas Grenades are common in Riot Police, but we use tablets evaporating on a heating pannel. It makes me tear up and have a runny nose, it nearly caused a buddy of mine to vomit into his gas mask LOL
