I took this picture yesterday! My experience in basic was horrible! I flopped on the ground outside and was dry heaving, burping nothing but CS gas. My DS told me to "get my ass back in there". I stood up and just shook my head NO! He lost his shit but there was no way I would have done that again! Now I make sure I'm in there the whole time to see privates suck just as I did!

A truly OUTSTANDING experience that I hope to hell I NEVER have to endure again!

Like most the first time was an unknown, so I paid a lot of attention to instructions and it wasn't pleasant but wasn't terrible. Each successive time more elements were added that seemed to prolong our exposure. Again, wasn't terrible. However I certainly can think of many more enjoyable experiences and laugh when I think back of shared fun times like these.

Best Cure I've ever found for a Head Cold! Everyone gets the "Crud" a nasty cold that is the nuisance bane of Boot Camp. I got mine right towards the end and my head was full of mucus. Came out of there and I could breathe better then ever before in my life. Unfortunately the front of my Dungarees was covered with my own mucus. Pretty Gross!

Were they using CS or burning Mentholatum? While I was active duty, the Army (at least) stopped using CS and switched to burning Mentholatum. The whole purpose of the drill was to verify that your mask was functional and sealing properly. And when you were done, it would clear your sinuses.

Boot camp was horrible as the use many more capsules. In the fleet it's cake walk.
