Our RDC's would've loved to be there, but only DC Instructors are allowed to be there anymore. RDC's aren't allowed to view the gas chamber so they can't do that any more. But guests can sometimes see it with the CO's permission (usually officers from other commands). There was a good sized group that watched my division get gassed haha

Any advice for it? Not scared of it at all, looking forward and a bit excited for it. It will be a new experience. Though I am curious if any have any advice on it as far as breathing.
Is there much a difference between breathing in through the nose or mouth? Is it bad to take deep confident breaths or would normal breaths be better? |

Yeah I'm curious about that too, as I am strangely enough looking forward to this. To me I guess it makes me feel like I really am military once I go through that.

Best advice is to breathe normal, don't breathe through your mouth, don't take deep breaths, don't hold your breath, don't take shallow breaths. Just breathe normal like you are now. Don't think about it, its gonna get you one way or another, relax and act normal and enjoy the ride. That is honestly one of the good memories of boot camp and its something you won't ever forget. Ask anyone in the Navy (at least, everyone I know who I've talked about it with) about the confidence chamber and we smile and laugh about it.

It's just preparing you for OC spray in the fleet. Now that's some fun stuff.
