CS gas... the money I stepped in the chamber my neck started to burn. Then they made us take off our gas mask and take a few deep breathes and clear and reseal the mask. Eyes burning a little and difficulty breathing, but not too bad. Then they made us do it again. Again, not too bad. Then they made us take off the mask completely and just stand there and recite the soldiers creed. Exposure to CS is supposed to be limited to 10 seconds...whoops. I survived and would it again if I could reduce basic by a day or so.
