Anyone ever been peppersprayed before? Options

The pepper spray is training so you will know how it feels when you get hit. It won't be as much a shock the next time cause the body knows what it felt like and hopefully you can react better.

The gas chamber is so you know if you have your gas mask on correctlyand you know how to clear it of anything. This will save your life. If its not adjusted correctly you'll inhale bad stuff and die.

Both training have their purposes, yes they suck at the time, but next time you'll react better which is the point of all training.

^^yeah I agree with that. I dont think we ever got sent to the chamber as a punishment or anything like that. I know that when we went in there without a mask they( higherups) thought we were showing off so they made us go in and do PT(physical trining for those who dont know). Now that crap sucks. But the pepperspray was hell. I got sprayed once in 03 before I went over seas then once in 04 before I went back. I never got used to it but I have to admit that it wasnt as bad the second time. Still hurt though.
