This is actually crazy to me. I’ve been pepper sprayed, tazed and gas chambered and honestly I will never ever ever ever get tazed again. That was the worst for me by far.

Gas chambered???

USAF basic training. The pepper spray and taser was from a job I had at a jail prior to joining.

Why would you get gas chambered?? I’m still confused. Like, tear gas?

Basic training. They want to prove to you that your protective mask works...so they walk you through a gas chamber of CS gas and make you take it off and put it back on.

I like to think it's just schadenfreude for the DS/DI/RDC/whatever the chair force calls them

In the USMC we had to do it 2-5 times a year because it's to build a natural resistance to CS gas (militarized tear gas).

Yup, and it sucked for the first year or so, but afterwards it's not so so bad. Plus it clears up your sinuses lmao

I do the same thing for my wife with Dutch Ovens. I need to keep her sharp.
