I was in the military. We had Nuclear / Biological / Chemical (NBC) Warfare training, rules etc. I can just imagine what would have happened if I had gone out to the flightline, during an exercise in NBC, wearing an N95 mask. No gloves, suit, covers, no procedures to put it on/off, no showers....just assume an N95 mask protected me from biological warfare.

It would have resulted in such a massive fail! Our squadron had pressure doors, showers, etc built in.

Our suits were bright Gumby Green. When I was an IC, I got to have a red stipe on my hard hat.

I HATED those things. Seemed we always had an acid tank fail in August. Never in January.

And the full Silkwood showers were fun. On joker put on an orange thong for the shower. In the parking lot. In full view of the Cracker barrel parking lot. Yeah, the Plant Manager got calls.

Still, I miss it in some ways. Thou Must Have Thou Crap Together to Play with HAZMAT.
