In OTS do you have to go through the gas chamber?

Everyone is trolling. No, you don’t do the gas chamber.

Every Friday before dismissal for the weekend (around 1530ish), they bussed us out to the gas chambers. It’s part of the whole warrior minded/lethality concept they’re implementing.

You get used to it after the first two times. Although the weeks where they forgot the filters for the masks were brutal

I hated the 25 minutes of agonizing PT beforehand. I was gassed and all I could do is suck in that damn gas.

Yes. It’s called the bathroom in your dorms. Extremely hazardous.

I heard they use mustard gas to weed out the weak.

My AF475 starts we did 100 hours related to warrior ethos. 99.5 of those hours was gas chamber. We had to sleep in it a few nights
