It's kind of a toss-up between spending hours in “the dirt” or puking in my gas mask.
LOL! The good old pit. We had the one right outside the chow hall. (3rd Bn.)
I remember being lined up AH2BB for shots at the Naval Medical Clinic, when one of our prives ‘mooed’ like a cow at the slaughter. Funny at the time, but oh, did we pay for that.
I didn’t have real problems with CS until Combat Engineer school at LeJeune. Total mask failure in a concentrated environment. My lungs stopped working for a while.
Not fun. Took the Engineer final that night anyway. I miss being young and indestructible. :-)
Such sweet memeories you have!:)
Thank you for your service Marine! *hugs*
