I was here for my basic for army engineer 04, this was a very pleasant experience, it turns out i have very high tolerance. Drill Sgt. Said it's causee I did to many drugs in highschool which was true LOL.
The Gas Chamber actually helped me and my squad. During my tours, my squad and I had to go through village riots in which the local militia used tear gas and luckily the GC prepared us so we got through the village safely (When I mean safely, I mean with no vomiting)
A 3/10 Graduated October 1996, thanks for posting this. This is now funny stories I talk with others I know who where in the military. I'll never forget the smell of CS from this. The group at around 2:15 and the crack truck rider sure got cured of those crutches.
I come back here every once in a while, my favorite is the private doing the “petty me” dance when everyone gets to leave but him 😂. Uh man the memories
I remember that day like no other even tho it was in 1975 and the Marines. It was horrible. We too were the last in and the cs was so bad it was unreal. Our DI came to each one and we had to give name rank social....lol then don clear. Those that got it right were ok...those that didn't suffered until we were able to go outside! I know this is Army, but a gas chamber is a gas chamber! Thanks for uploading!
I was at Basic at Fort Jackson they made us go through half The Soldiers Creed before they let us out!! It took me a couple minutes to get my bearings but managed to get through a few simple tests and got out of the Gas Chamber. OH THE FUN MEMORIES LOL
I was in this exact room at FLW in Julyish 1994. We were told we were one of the first male and female integrated basic units. I purchased the home video of our training. It contained this footage. I have no idea where that VHS is. This pretty much sums it up though.
@@brianvolpe3242 One of the vivid memories I had was overhearing a Drill Sergeant talk about the OJ Car chase and murders that had just happened. I'm not sure if it's still like that or not, but all the recruits, at that time, had no connection to the world. No TV, radio, or newspapers... and it was, of course, before the internet.
@feetforeveryone It is part of the Standard Training Procedures. They put all new recruits thru it so they can experience what CS gas does first hand. It gives the soldiers an Idea as to what CS gas feels like and what they can expect if a CS Gas is ever released into a war zone.
the point of this is to simulate a hectic situation, and to teach them how to keep a cool head and not panic during a hectic situation, such as a battlefield.
My boyfriend is currently at the camp for training.he left in feb. He comes back in may. In his recent letter he said in about a week or so he's going into the crucible. I've done more research on this subject than any assignment is class. Seeing this video makes me worry -_- I know he's strong to finish but knowing that is so GAH ! My Marine graduates May 13 2011! -3
I was there Feb 96. Alpha 5-10! If I remember correctly, there was one gas chamber that had a big ass tree outside waiting for those who blindly ran out the building to knock them out!
Hey how are you, my dad was on this during this whole film process and I was wondering if there would be a way I could get a copy of this from you please.
I went through the gas chamber at camp Penilton, its like chocking on air and it has a burning pepper sensation I panicked the first time but the second time I took the mask off I just closed my eyes and held my breath which is what I recommend u do if u ever go to bootcamp
FYI... Fort McClellan, Alabama Veterans need to know that if they were stationed there between 1935-1999, they were exposed to toxic chemicals. A bill has been introduced to help those veterans who have developed health issues due to exposure PCB's. Even if you haven't developed health issues the bill is presumptive. Meaning you don't have to prove any health issues. It is presumed you will eventually have them.
I went thru this in Ft. Jackson, SC. This group is much 'calmer' than the group I went with. We were jumping up and down, swinging our arms, and some rolled and wirthed on the floor...they lost control and we busted out.
I saw a recent gas chamber video where NO one was even phased. I just remembered myself hunched over gasping air that that seemed to be made of flames. While a DI lectured us on deficiencies in the barracks he noticed. That speech seemed to drag on.......forever.
It's training for NBC (or CBRN as its now known) they use cs pellets its like spray but it's smoke instead of spray. Nasty stuff had to do this myself in phase 1(British army)
@12hat12 That's quite all right, Mr Hat! You've hit the nail right on the head by the way: this training is 'routine', as in 'going thru the motions' and nowhere near approaching the atrocities commited in an all-out-war situation.
I wish I had the tape when I did the gas chamber in Fort Dix in 1991. I laughed! LAUGHED in there with one of my friends. We started laughing so hard through a bit of coughing of course. Basically we did the right thing and took shallow breaths, managed to answer the drill sergeant's questions... As my friend answered his, another person just lost their mind and started freaking out in a hilarious way. We started laughing at that and kept laughing when we left there. I think there is a picture of us leaving that with smiles on our face not grimaces.
I was in B 3/10 at this same time. I remember going to breakfast the morning of the gas chamber. The drill sergeants were telling us, "Eat a nice big breakfast privates. And drink lots of milk! The fun will begin in about an hour." Oh the memories.
I was at FORT LOST IN THE WOODS for my BT in 1998. Was unable to complete it cuz of a knee injury. But, I can TOTALLY remember the GAS CHAMBER !!! I did as instructed, but, got sick after coming out of it !!! That time of my life at FLW will ALWAYS be a time totally etched in my thoughts !!! It was some fun, but, REALLY and mostly deMANding !!!
I also remember the gas chamber. Ouch it was definitely dreadful and hell, but hey we did it! Lol. I also went to bt at fort leonard wood in 1998. Lol. But August through October 1998. I was in A-310.
@@TZM750 I went in January - BRRR - and my company was E310. My MOS was, as it was called then, Patriot Missile Systems Operator/Maintainer. What is/was your MOS ? (I do miss that time of my life, though. But, I wouldn't change my life as it is now for anything. Cause I'm happily married and we have a sweet, Polydactyl Tuxedo Cat - the one in my picture, here. )
My MOS was a medac. I had fun. I had a blast. Good memories. I had bought the video tape and the photos but they're all lost or damaged......🤔🤔🤔 after basic training I went to Fort Sam Houston, Tx for my MOS training for 10 weeks.
this wouldn't be a mandatory practiced procedure if there wasn't a possibility that they would need to know what this situation can be like. Thank you to all the soldiers who endure and pursue a career in keeping me and my family safe. Thank you.
Brutal. In British Army you generally only get gassed on purpose in basic. Annual testing is then done in the chamber and as long as you do your drill a correctly you don’t suffer that much.
Winter of 94 I’ll never forget that very chamber and I was the last guy out, I remember having to rip the guys mask off next to me because they wouldn’t let you out until everybody’s mask was off, there’s always one!! Then I had to turn around go back to shut the fricken door and got another blast of it!! Fun times!!
this video was taken a year after I did it (sept 95). this is accurate as hell. my chest was burning and it was really bad. earlier that morning, the drill sgts were encouraging everyone to eat as much dairy as they wanted.
Lol! I went through in 2012 and they said eggs and milk would help reduce the effects. I ate the biggest bowl of cereal I could get with two cups of milk 😂
Only during Basic do they use a fuck ton of tablets. When you get to your regular unit, they only use maybe 1 or 2 come time for Force Protection Week. During that time you can actually breathe in there.
CS gas is teargas and it's mostly used in riots. It is considered to be non-lethal, but some people have died after breathing in too much gas. I read that the USA used teargas in Vietnam to clear out tunnels.
D 3-10, Jan 1996, will never forget that cold or the gas chamber lol. I wish I could find my Basic video, still have the yearbook at least. Thanks for sharing this
I was here for mp basic in 03. I remember my drill sergeant saying have a much milk as you want before we went to the chamber. He knew exactly what was going to happen. Good times🤣
I will guard everything within the limits of my post, and quit my post only when properly relieved. Sergeant, the order of chow is: 2341 . I was C-2-10 June 1995, and one of the idiots that shaved the morning of the CS Chamber LOL
my friend just graduated the marines today, and he said when he had to do this, he was the LAST group of people to go in, so he had to sit there and watch all the dudes come out looking like they were dying and shit. THEN he had to go in.
@HDxDyNaMiK The CS gas gets in your eyes, nose and mouth. It burns like crazy and makes it hard to breath. It makes you cough and makes your mucus thick. some people throw up or pass out......fun stuff lol
I remember doing that in the Canadian forces. They made us go in masked to get use to the masks, then we had to exit and re-enter unmasked and then mask up in the gas. Then they made us do PT which causes you to sweat - which burns like hell in CS gas, then when it was time to exit, you had to unmask, say your name, rank and serial number before exiting!
It hits your eyes right away with a sting that makes them water instantly. As you breathe it burns from the tip of your tounge to the bottom of your lungs. Its not pleasant.
@NINJAMUFFINS80 Yeah I read that the tear gas loosens up ANY KINDA mucus in your nostrils and there for. The vomit you see is just them spitting out mucus as if they were sick. Just....a lot of it at one time
I remember doing the gas chamber in Marine boot camp back in 1991. I had a head cold and this cleared me right up. I had no idea how much mucus your body can produce! Ahhh, sweet memories...lol
It doesn't show it but you go in wearing your gas mask, when you take it off and you get that wift of cs gas you gain confidence in the fact that your mask works. Therefore in a combat situation people are not gonna freak out thinking their mask wont work.
This is the 7th gas chamber video I've clicked on, and the 1st one to accurately show what it's like.
J-Me yea this video actually shows the reaction we all get from been their
J-Me True statement. I wish I could've done of those easy ones you see nowadays.
Back when Drills were allowed to let that room “marinate” for an hour+ before the first group went through...
Yeah I've keep thinking about joining
Hell yeah
I was here for my basic for army engineer 04, this was a very pleasant experience, it turns out i have very high tolerance. Drill Sgt. Said it's causee I did to many drugs in highschool which was true LOL.
LMAOOOOO
My tolerance got better when I had to cert my mask at duty stations later on

Fadedgogeta none of that happened
Did they use zyclnal b or what gas
Lol fuckin bull
Finally found an accurate CS chamber vid from before the “new army” days
Everyone in here talking about how much group bonding happened, and all the fun shit, and then there's this fuckwad. Go back to bed boomer.

The black guy at the beginning was the best reaction ever! He legitimately looked lost AF!
Nah homie. It's the uncontrollable fear of not being able to breathe or see
Ill bet it was worse than the average person will ever know! Hey Thank you for your service! God bless.
I have so much respect for these guys! I am soo proud of them!
Seeing that guy spew chunks at 4 minutes was so badass... doesnt matter if you're spewing dude you're a badass just for manning through this
I come back here every once in a while, my favorite is the private doing the “petty me” dance when everyone gets to leave but him 😂. Uh man the memories
Was there in '86, and it looks like it was as much fun to these guys as it was to me and my fellow soldiers.
Went through Ft. Leonard Wood in June of 1985.
I remember that day like no other even tho it was in 1975 and the Marines. It was horrible. We too were the last in and the cs was so bad it was unreal. Our DI came to each one and we had to give name rank social....lol then don clear. Those that got it right were ok...those that didn't suffered until we were able to go outside! I know this is Army, but a gas chamber is a gas chamber! Thanks for uploading!
Dude, this is incredible. I was in Delta 35th, same time you were in basic. I remember going through, that shit sucked
this was me at ft. Leonard wood, summer, 1981. I was just like these guys--throwing up all over the place. I'll never forget it
Good times. I remember the familiar burning sensation on my skin and then that first sour breath in 😃
I was there that day!!! Bravo Bravo 247 the BEST damn company under the heavens!!!
2:55 - "Hey you private with the mask on, you stay here, you stay inside". That's hilarious!!!
LLLLLLL LEEFT
Miss that training, that was fun!
Love how this is in the comedy catagory
Aw man, I'm leavin for basic in a month, and this is what I have to look forward to?! HECKS YEAH, I'M READY, LETS DO IT!!!
I was there, JUST before this. What memories.
Wow. I was In A. Co 35th Enginneer BN 1996
I was at Basic at Fort Jackson they made us go through half The Soldiers Creed before they let us out!! It took me a couple minutes to get my bearings but managed to get through a few simple tests and got out of the Gas Chamber. OH THE FUN MEMORIES LOL
I was in this unit during this time. I was the one holding the door outside. I was trying to find a shot of me inside the chamber.
Went through that in 1987 and this is exactly what it felt like. I had snot hanging down to my knees. Man those were the days!
man this brings back old memories ... and i left from ft seal in 1991 xd! lol
I did my basic there and ait . Learned a lot about myself , grew up .
I got some tears come out.. just by watching this....

WOW this is exactely how my dad stated being exposed too CS gas would be like. He's an old marine and I see now how much of a badass he is for it!
a LONG AWAITED HOOAH from a cadet from this area..GOD BLESS and MERRY CHRITMAS For 2021

its like a tazer drill. its to show how it feels and to train you to do what ou need to in a situation such as a gas situation as such
The point of the exercise is to show the effects of the gas to the recruits so they know how it will feel when they use it on people.

Yep, the couple times we had to do it in our unit is was pretty tame. Break the seal, etc.
Remember the fond memories all too well, and all too many times....

Key to this is too take little breaths so it dont burn your throat but the eyes you cant fight that

I was at Delta 2/10 back in Nov97. The time when the Army is rough and tough
It's so they know the feeling and when/if gas is used against them they won't freak out.
so you know how to use your gear, are accountable for it, and are able to remain calm in a situation like that
Im glad you have a good sense of humor lol
you seem to have a vivid experience with that.

@thrillbilly2
Because CS gas makes you salivate uncontrollably. It also makes your nose run and throat, eyes, and skin burn.
@HDxDyNaMiK The CS gas gets in your eyes, nose and mouth. It burns like crazy and makes it hard to breath. It makes you cough and makes your mucus thick. some people throw up or pass out......fun stuff lol
@kvmairforce Ok . Thanks . Can't Wait Til Basic Training .
@allinsy im pretty sure its mustard.. but then again.. i could be very wrong. dont take my word on that.
It burns inside out! Survival mode is on, believe that!
these poor guys...I'm a mom I just wanna hug em all lol, God bless em for going through that
I remember doing that in the Canadian forces. They made us go in masked to get use to the masks, then we had to exit and re-enter unmasked and then mask up in the gas. Then they made us do PT which causes you to sweat - which burns like hell in CS gas, then when it was time to exit, you had to unmask, say your name, rank and serial number before exiting!
It hits your eyes right away with a sting that makes them water instantly. As you breathe it burns from the tip of your tounge to the bottom of your lungs. Its not pleasant.
I remember doing this in 1988 damn that was fun I would do it all over again. I wish they had these locally here at home to go through.
I was in that very same chamber last summer, holy crap that sucked then and still sucks now that I think of it
@Puertoricangirl223 I would assume the gas is used to simulate Sarin gas or other nerve gases that have a cholinergic effect on the body.
2:52 is the best, hey you with the mask on, who do you think you were foolin lol
Yeahhhhh!!!! Get some!!!!!
I was there in 97’, clearest my sinuses have ever been
OH MY GOD MAN I HATED THE GAS CHAMBER BUT IT LOOKS SO AWESOME
Yep, every service. More importantly you do it periodically throughout your enlistment.
always wondered if theres any long term effects from this
brings back memories
this was the best part of obc
@NINJAMUFFINS80 Yeah I read that the tear gas loosens up ANY KINDA mucus in your nostrils and there for. The vomit you see is just them spitting out mucus as if they were sick. Just....a lot of it at one time
I remember doing the gas chamber in Marine boot camp back in 1991. I had a head cold and this cleared me right up. I had no idea how much mucus your body can produce! Ahhh, sweet memories...lol
THAT LOOKS FUN!!!!
It's impossible to breathe, and it burns like hell! Thank god i didn't have to sound off a general order.
It doesn't show it but you go in wearing your gas mask, when you take it off and you get that wift of cs gas you gain confidence in the fact that your mask works. Therefore in a combat situation people are not gonna freak out thinking their mask wont work.
Respect.
