Where in the world did you receive your NBC training? Your NCOIC should be flogged for dereliction of duty.

On the other hand, my guess is you have not been in the military, so your training is ...?

What exactly is your objection to mdmathis6 comments?

I agree with his/her general statements..

Atropine is not a cure.. It keeps you alive until you can be treated..

Point 2. Granted, I got out in 1980, but I know that gas mask filters and chemical suits exposed to blister agents like mustard gas are no longer effective against nerve agents (VX - SARIN) and must be replaced..

( I recieved my NBC training in Germany...)

I'm an RN working in an ICU, I know what antidote drugs like Atropine,benzotropine, and Artane(trihexphenydyl) do, and we've had some training on WMD's. As for battlefield training I've read as much info as civilians are allowed to have so if you have any more info why don't share it with the rest of us.
