      Nah, they just bring you into a sealed room and light some CS pellets in a little stove. It’s usually in concentrations greater than what a typical CS grenade contains.

        Yes and no. Plenty of people have stories about learning to keep their mask quickly accessible. Shit like being on a 5 mile ruck, then 4 miles into it they get gassed by surprise. Usually only a few days after they have gone through mask training, so they should know to have their mask handy. But there are always inevitably a bunch of dudes rolling around with burning eyes, trying to dig their mask out of the very bottom of their pack.
