of course, that was my first trip to the chamber, in boot camp. Every time I went after that was a cake walk by comparison /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

My first trip to the CS chamber in Basic - ah, I remember it well! In fact, I've got a picture of me coming out in the basic yearbook! The masks in use then where a POS and mine leaked from the moment we walked in - drill sergeant made me stay just as long as everyone else, so by the time I walked out my eyes were swollen shut and I was coughing my head off. I saw a lot of guys tossing their lunch and passing out, but once I got some fresh air I recovered quickly.
Told the drill sergeant afterwards I'd prefer to shoot myself in the head then bet my life on those masks
