We did CS (tear gas) but never did the pepper spray drill:

We did the "gas chamber" in boot camp in 1968. Getting sprayed with
pepper spray came years later and usually only for those ratings that
stood regular shore patrol watches.

The Navy still does the CS tear gas chamber but I don't remember having
to stay in the room without a mask for as long as these guys did in this
video:

We had the two minutes or so, but instead of masking again, they ran us outside.


I remember a great picture of my brother from is basic training class. He
is the focal point coming out of the tear gas chamber. Another point for
the Air Force. We did not do any gas training.
