i saw your sig and noticed you had a very strong background in law enforcement/security/Marines, i got OC pepper sprayed on friday. I give you guys so much more respect now. that was the worst experience ever.
LOL.. I got a story about being pepper sprayed in public. I too am in the military and we go through gas chambers and all that all the time. When I was back home in Ohio for leave a year or so ago, I got into a bit of a tiff at a local bar and got thrown out by the bouncers. Well being that I was home on leave from Iraq, I figured I had a little more fight in me still. So I kept going at it with them and then the police got involved and it took three heavy sprays before I decided to cooperate. They thought I was on drugs and didnt know that I'm actually used to the stuff. You should have seen their faces after they hit me the first two times and I wasnt fazed at all.... LOL
I was fine until I got hit with the third shot of spray, then it felt like my face was melting cause I had so much of that crap dripping off my face and in my hair.... It did suck.... Cause when I went to wash up later that night after I got home, it started burning all over again... LOL...
cs gas isnt that bad well after the first couple of times. and ive also had a pepper spray bottel break in my hands that was really bad it got all over every thing around me. and the fumes from my clothes were getting to me even after i washed them.
I rather go through the gas chamber than be pepper sprayed, even with it being hot and the CS gas gets in your skin.
Being sprayed had to have been one of the worse experiences of my life. I got it in one eye. Then it ran into the other eye, than nose, than mouth. That chit sucked.
it all depends on the person, cs wasn't that bad in the gas chamber i found it to be much more anoying when they gased us having lunch and it was unexpected. never been sprayed but i can't see any of it being to much fun
I remember going through the gas chamber in basic. We had one guy freak out in our group and they pinned him to the wall. It was interesting. They made us take off our gas masks and practice clearing and dawning. You just had to breathe really shallow to keep from making you puke.
Brings a tear to my eye just thinking of the gas chamber... Here is a link to a vid I made just after I staggered out of the gas chamber down in Mississippi before we flew out to Afghansitan...
and here is my personal favorite... A pic of me when I was helping some special forces guy blow up some unexploded ordnance. We were having quite a fun time throwing grenades and setting up enough C4 charges to bring down a good sized building. So we throw this left over CS grenade...
Then the wind shifted and the cloud just hung there right on top of us for like five minutes... We were laughing and crying, quite memorable...
