Pepper Sprayed

In the Marines, we had to sing the Marine Corps Hymn in a room filled with CN tear gas.
Who says the military has no sense of humor?

See, now, that's funny right there! I don't care who ya are!
 
In the Marines, we had to sing the Marine Corps Hymn in a room filled with CN tear gas. It can be tolerated, but several people panicked and flipped out. You can breathe in, but you can't breathe out. It burns the mucus membranes and is a strong skin irritant. We had to run a mile immediately after leaving the gas chamber, which actually served to blow the remaining volatiles off. There was a lot of snot and puke on the ground, though.

I remember that in the Army it actually wasn't that bad we had to get back in formation right after.
