Its true, you will use your hand as a cup and if anything gets on the deck, you'll be cleaning that deck after the exercise. The actual command to remove your gas mask is "Mask Up, Cup Up". Don't worry about that though, it seems gross, but when its time to do it, you'll gladly wipe that crap on your uniform. They need to get the residue washed out of them anyways so just go with it. Remember, its not so bad don't think about it just do it!!! This is always the part recruits fear most and really, it shouldn't be.
