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 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 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 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 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 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.
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!
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!
"The chemical reacts with moisture on the skin and in the eyes, causing a burning sensation and the immediate forceful and uncontrollable shutting of the eyes...tears streaming from the eyes, profuse coughing, exceptional nasal discharge that is mainly mucus, burning in the eyes, eyelids, nose and throat areas, disorientation, dizziness and restricted breathing. It will also burn the skin where sweaty and or sunburned. In highly concentrated doses it can also induce severe coughing and vomiting"
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 😂
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
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.
@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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
I went through this chamber in 2002 they had a Jason Vorhees maniquin in that booth where they were filming and I was 54 Bravo which is NBC trust me they kick it up a notch because thats our shit.... HOOOAHHH...
It wasn't even thy bad!! But ppl feel the effects differently! And we didn't have showers and eye washers. Rucked there, ate, went through the chamber , waited fro everyone else to go through, and tucked back! It's funny to see how others reacted!!
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🤣
Nope it is not. Surely it is incomfortable as the video shows XD. But after a while the effect will pass, and to make the effect go away faster, there is the Eyes washers and showers. This is probably where those guys were sent after the Gaz chamber, to get rid of most of the effect, because even after showering and eye washing, some will feel the effect for a day, not as hard as on the moment of the exposition, but they will still feel their skins burn a little or things like that.
they do this training for the same reason police and law enforcement have to get tazered and pepper sprayed, to let people know what it feels like to reduce panic in a real scenario and to prevent abuse of those methods.
I was there in Sept. of 96. Loved that gas chamber. Haha. Its really not as bad as what you see here. It sucks for sure. But I would do it again no question just for the experience. I'll tell you though, after your all cleared up and seeing again afterward you feel like you can conquer the world. So its worth it.
I was there Aug 96. Pretty much how I remember it. Some battle buddies over the years who have been DS always say they could stand in there without their mask on. I do not remember it being that easy.
How bad it was seemed dependent on whoever was running the chamber. I have heard drill sergeants discussing this in the past, though one would have to chime in and say if this is accurate. There are plenty out there that know. I went through around this time but I'm sure there are strict rules now...wimps. They used to take people behind the woodshed (a room in the barracks) and scream and smoke them to the point where people took swings at them and then.... they'd beat the crap out of that person. They had openly punched people only a couple years prior. (I actually went in several years before this.... 96 probably wasn't as bad).
@MillerTeeVee To make you understand the importance of a gas mask. Someone telling you the importance of a gas mask doesn't really do anything. In the simplest terms, it's like telling a baby not to touch a hot stove...they don't understand until they actually touch it and experience the pain, then they learned that lesson for the rest of their life. Once you go through a gas chamber, you will remember it for the rest of your life and when it's time to put on the mask, you will do it quickly.
I remember doing this...I had a blast. Someone got a bloody nose, lol. I can laugh looking back at it. I'm tempted to go through it again just for the hell of it.
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

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

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!
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.
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

wow that brings back memories...god i miss the army.....it may seem bad but it was fun.
yes the were throwing up. when the gas hits the throat its burnes and hits the gag reflex. sometimes they honestly cannot help it
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.
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

always wondered if theres any long term effects from this
Those aren't Marines, those are Army recruits. You can tell because they are being called private, and by what general order is spouts.
so you know how to use your gear, are accountable for it, and are able to remain calm in a situation like that
@OBEYtheMUSIKK your right the chamber we used was smaller and the gas was like fog. Semper Fi
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.
Yep, the couple times we had to do it in our unit is was pretty tame. Break the seal, etc.
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.
@thrillbilly2
Because CS gas makes you salivate uncontrollably. It also makes your nose run and throat, eyes, and skin burn.
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.
@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.
Can tell you guys, that stuff feels just awesome
I did this at Ft. Leonard Wood in 1995. I would bet it’s the same gas chamber. Ah memories

It burns inside out! Survival mode is on, believe that!
This is the way BCT, bootcamp, OCS, and any entry level into any military branch should be like. except for the air farce.
You guys are so brave.
It wasn't even thy bad!! But ppl feel the effects differently! And we didn't have showers and eye washers. Rucked there, ate, went through the chamber , waited fro everyone else to go through, and tucked back! It's funny to see how others reacted!!
Yep, every service. More importantly you do it periodically throughout your enlistment.
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🤣
Our Senior Drill Sergeant told us we were allowed to eat ice cream from the DFAC the morning before, no one was dumb enough to fall for it.
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.
"If it don't kill you, it makes you stronger"
Remember the fond memories all too well, and all too many times....
2:52 is the best, hey you with the mask on, who do you think you were foolin lol
@kvmairforce Ok . Thanks . Can't Wait Til Basic Training .

There are plenty out there that know. I went through around this time but I'm sure there are strict rules now...wimps. They used to take people behind the woodshed (a room in the barracks) and scream and smoke them to the point where people took swings at them and then.... they'd beat the crap out of that person. They had openly punched people only a couple years prior. (I actually went in several years before this.... 96 probably wasn't as bad).
@MillerTeeVee To make you understand the importance of a gas mask. Someone telling you the importance of a gas mask doesn't really do anything. In the simplest terms, it's like telling a baby not to touch a hot stove...they don't understand until they actually touch it and experience the pain, then they learned that lesson for the rest of their life. Once you go through a gas chamber, you will remember it for the rest of your life and when it's time to put on the mask, you will do it quickly.
I remember doing this...I had a blast. Someone got a bloody nose, lol. I can laugh looking back at it. I'm tempted to go through it again just for the hell of it.
some people make fun of this but this just makes me want to try it out
this was the best part of obc
