The U.S. Navy chemical attack trainer (gas chamber) in Guantanamo Bay Cuba (cue ominous music….). A bunch of us piled into a semi trailer with our gas masks on, then a guy lit off a canister of combination tear gas / inert nerve agent. Then we had to take off our masks, hold them above our heads, count out loud to 10, and put our masks back on. The pain was severe enough, but it also was total-body and lung/mouth/eyes burning that was suffocating and pretty terrifying. Good times….
