Marine Corps Mondays - Gas Chamber

[@Thetheinsaineone]

insurgency has grown a lot

[@TheDudeMaaaan]

+Thetheinsaineone Yea i know lol it doesnt even look like the same game

[@billfroader2286]

yeah so much growth in those 3 years. it is incrediblea

[@Japanunfilter]

Now its insane

[@autofixation]

I ran into the door on the way out. And the drill sergeant later told me how funny I looked when I was convulsing and spitting while I tried to talk.

[@gameygameygamer]

lol im not really thinking about joining the army when im a bit older but if u had to describe what's it like in 10 words what would you say the gas is like

[@autofixation]

The most painful and disorienting thing in my life.

[@avontepayne7645]

That was 9

[@avontepayne7645]

It was 9 count it

[@zachlang1982]

Well... Sounds like I definitely got something to look forward to at basic training...

[@Ibfaded]

Miss this series sooooo bad ): lol bring it back marine!!! It would literally be the best comeback ever!!! And As always thanks for your service and great vid!! Could listen to your stories forever! Ahaha

[@ignacyrivers1219]

Farewell to Kitty0706 GG Leukemia, GG

[@libertyprime1155]

To not freak out in there, I'm guessing that remembering that it will not kill you or harm you in any way would help.

[@trashpanda2160]

4 more years can't fucking wait!

[@irish9579]

How is it going?

[@KracDisorder]

You know, I don't usually talk in detail to others about the specifics of when I was an active duty Devil Dog. It's a personal choice. I usually don't like when people fluff up their experiences and whatnot. But I really like the way you go through things in your Marine Corps Mondays content. It really seems to come from an honest and not embellished point of view. Which reflects well on the Corps and gives people insight on what it is to go through what we do. Thanks Devil! Semper Fi

[@petewilliamsiv3512]

you in USMC ????

[@coltonrussell4469]

Pete Williams yes he is .

[@Excroat3]

***** once a marine, always a marine

[@psnglck20]

Excroat3 he didn't say be wasn't marine he just said he wasn't in rn

[@Excroat3]

psnglck20 you are always in the marines. You mean active, right?

[@psnglck20]

Excroat3 yea

[@BigDictator5335]

The gas basically just makes your nerves think that they are hot so your body reacts like it would to extreme heat. It can't hurt you; it's just painful. It is the same chemical that makes peppers spicy. Imagine squirting a hot pepper in your eyes.

[@Awacs0808]

It was not that bad. OC was worse.

[@054792austin]

definitley haha,got OC sprayed a month ago and damn that shit fucked me up

[@Kisdaddy11]

By a mile. Not even close.

[@imanoob4]

That's an AWESOME trip! We went to Camp Pendelton, CA back in 2009 and had the chance to fire the M16A4. Five rounds per cadet but each one of us had the chance to do it twice!

[@RelativeGalaxy7]

I don't really know. It depends what you want to do, Canada does most of the peacekeeping missions, the US does the most combat missions and the UK does a mix of both.

[@soloban81]

It all depends on when you enlist. Since AF BMT is all in one place for Active, Guard, and Reserve, its a matter of when they have space for you. Summers are more crowded since everyone is getting out of High School.

[@MrSombody99]

I'll answer that for you, my father was an E4 in the Army and it was really hard for him to leave me, and he was just having a ruff time in general but when he came back it kinda felt like he lost a part of himself, the reason i say this is because he used to be a lot more lively just a joy to be around but since he came back from Iraq hes just being more easily agitated and all in all mean to people, so i would say its harder for people to come home and re adjust to society.

[@Airsoftbassassassin]

Hey dude i have not said this before but i should have but thanks for your survice and i'm going through a hard time i just lost a friend over seas and it just made me think to say thanks to you you are really the only person that can make me stop crying when i watch your videos so agin thanks.

[@jtdehaanjr]

We went through boot using the M40. Think they are using the M50 now? At least they were issuing it out to deploying units when I was getting out...no more canister, just clip on filters, a much nicer mask from what I saw...

[@jtdehaanjr]

Veteran...got out in 2011...Thank you. Boot camp was pretty easy all around. For me, the worst part was puting a hairline fracture in my ankle and being there a month longer than I should have...

[@bondiada1010]

Devil, I just graduated sept 6th and when we did the gas chamber it wasnt anything like you said. The way they do it now is that you put the mask on in the class and then you go in the chamber in groups of 15ish and then you do some exercises with the mask on to show that it works then you put your fingers in the eye part to break the seal then you immediately put it back and clear and run out then you take your mask off completely once you get out.

[@XbenXdoverX1337]

That depends, what did you want to do in the Marines? You could probably find something very close in the other branches.

[@ethangreenlee]

1. What rank did you leave the Marines? 2. What movie best describes your time over seas? 3. Can you bring your own weapon to combat(handgun, knife, etc) 4. What was your motivation for joining the Marines? My little bro thinks that when you kill someone for the first time you through up... Is that true?

[@SoaRisBoss215]

Q: What do you need to scored on the ASVAB to get 0311. Plus one day you should do a video on when you was hazing a boot.

[@dxtrty]

DDG was Lance Corporal when he left the Marines, and I think he talks about how one gets promoted in one of the previous Marine Corps Mondays.

[@jreynol100]

short shallow breaths helped me out alot. also when you shower don't touch your eyes cause theres still cs on your skin. same goes for washing your kamies. im boot camp we did the chamber the day before the crucible and we changed our kamies right after

[@celestialbodies382]

You just saying the effects makes me start to feel the effects of the gas

[@Ninjaonfoot]

What was your classification? Like we're you a riflemen, engineer, what? I haven't heard anything stating what you were exactly. Besides a marine.

[@FishyTheHook]

From what I heard from friends and DDG said it too, it's best to go into boot not knowing anything, but being ready for anything.

[@FISTER87]

It's an inclosed room where they expose you to CS gas (tear gas) to give you hands on training on how to properly use your protective mask, and to simulate the effects of chemical weapons exposure

[@AirsoftWarsHD]

For your next Q&A: could you please talk about the FMF Corpsman in your unit and when you were deployed? Thanks.

[@SGTJackMorgan]

Ahh the Gas Chamber, good times. You are spot about how it felt Devil. And you are also soooo damn right about OC. I would gladly walk into the CS chamber and sing the Army Song, the National Anthem and do push-ups if it kept me from getting OC sprayed. I was in the US Army MP Corps so I got to deal with OC pretty often.

[@Gunbudder]

I heard a crazy story once about a guy who ran off into the woods during some training at OCS. Supposedly they couldn't find the dude, and he didn't want to be found. Do you have any stories of people losing their shit during training and trying to escape?

[@xbeast133]

He used the standard M416, and a sniper rifle (occasionally). He wasn't a sniper, but he was his platoon's designated marksman.

[@Rob65270]

Being British, I was wondering if the USMC often take part in joint training exercises with the British Royal Marines?

[@garylong7503]

You know if people would watch older videos a lot of their questions would be answered. Another great video devil as usual

[@hypsin]

Whatcha talking about man? Gas chamber was fun as hell and we actually looked forward to it in the boot. I don't think anyone really freaked out in our platoon or series. We did have people try to outdo one another and see who can hold out the longest. It is only as dreadful as you make it to be. Same shit with swimqual - we had people fail swimqual 4 because they psyched themselves out about the tower jump... in a pool... with dozens of lifeguards around... and gear that floats...

[@conventrixx]

marsoc trains harder than them... and Force Recon with dive and jump does almost as much training. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, they train with Navy Seals for jump and dive. Also Seals aren't a branch anyways.

[@Zorbonian]

I don't think this would fall under a Marine Corp Monday video but it would be awesome if you could do a F&cked Up Friday on your first fight

[@FISTER87]

I was in the National Guard, and they never had us do recertification, probably due to the limited training time that we had.

[@peelon96]

How about you tell us how you felt arriving at bootcamp, how the first days where for you, and how where your last days as a civilian before going to bootcamp. Thanks hope you see these questions.

[@runninEdits]

DO MORE COMBAT STORIES! It's been a year since your last one!

[@chasecurl5667]

Thanks, you were pretty informative for the most part! I feel a little better about it now. Hoping to join up by December.

[@MarKMeClan]

What is the best and worst meal you ate while overseas... Love the vids keep doing a great job

[@FISTER87]

I'm an army vet, and for the most part it was the same as how he described it in the video, except for a few minor details

[@02freyjon]

You may want to address how to prepare yourself before going to boot camp. Alot of folks don't make it because they've never played sports or exercised on a regular basis. I saw a lot of stress fractures/ shin splints bc they had never run. I met a few guys that quit bc they get overwhelmed by the stress...but end up there longer. You want to get through and out of basic on schedule, nothing sucks worse than being treated like you're brand new.

[@VodkaHellstorm]

Mercenaries still exist... perhaps he meant maybe going in to something like private security? Often the training is a lot shorter (sometimes as short as a couple of months) and you earn a higher pay check than the standard soldier, i think even higher than some officers.

[@manicmike1293]

Question: During your overseas deployments, did you ever get the opportunity to take R&R leave in Qatar? I heard that some folks got the option to do that while they were on deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan.

[@TheLeGaCyZ]

Q- Devil have you ever had a experience where a bullet has litteraly hazed right by your face? and if so, where and how/why?

[@Slacky3rd]

@Jason smith you were trained with them and you got use to them so they had little affect

[@bigcountryx5351]

our instructors for the police academy when we got OC sprayed always told us if your screaming or talking your breathing i like the part where you were talking about there's always that one guy that just freaks the fuck out cause we had one and it was hilarious also thank you for you service man and keep up the videos they're awesome

[@xbeast133]

He was a Designated Marksman. He wasn't a Sniper, but he used a sniper rifle. He kept watch, and engaged medium distance targets, that the other infrantrymen couldn't see.

[@Chris10296]

Q: what's an average day in the fleet, and what's the difference between deployed days and on base days?

[@KillStrangeMeser]

Were you nervous when you first left home to bootcamp? I can't imagine how nerve racking that might be. I get nervous real easy when it comes to certain things & I'm planning on joining The Marines pretty soon. Any tips on how to calm myself & advice to get over it. Thanks Devil Dog, love your videos man!

[@helowarz]

Hey Devil when you do these Marine Corps Mondays instead of doing Gameplay why not trying to find some footage of whatever your talking about like Mariens going through a Gas chamber or somthing

[@HuntinFoolE6]

i was a cop for 17 years and in the military for 10 years and still to this day it takes me 6 hours to get over pepper spray.

[@tyler1OK]

Devil dog I just wanted to let you know my grand pa died this week. He was a master Sargent in the marine corp he was a great man

[@mrstatic36]

5711 here. I loved running the chamber every quarter just to see how many people would try to bargain out of it because they were so scared of it.

[@SharpenedHalo]

Question: Did you ever go in the helo dunker? If so what was it like? It sounds pretty stressful, more so than CS gas, at least to me.

[@bottlefedmitsu]

i remember the gas chamber at l. wood had a tree right outside the exit door. there was no bark on one side of that tree.

[@b-52eggbeast88]

good tale dude. yeah i remember the showers after being the nastiest surprise. if i did it again i'd have a cold one lol. firefighting in the navy was a lot worse though, breathing in oil smoke is no joke...

[@brycenguzman8850]

He does both. Sometimes he will talk and play, other times he will play and then talk over it.

[@loadedkeller12]

Question: where do you buy your airsoft equipment? What company? And where do you play?

[@speedracer7336]

Do a Marine Core Monday about OC Spring. It sounds interesting.

[@dyenasty27]

13 weeks for boot camp, 8 weeks or so for itb if youre a grunt, and for pogs it varies a lot.

[@popej611]

2. I was watching one of your older Marine Corps Mondays, #1 and I caught something. You said that you met a guy in the EHP and you went to the same schools and eventually the same unit. I think his name was Moresvy. I was wondering if you would tell a story about something you and Moresvy did in the Marines? That's it, peace out

[@darkjlslayer214]

What plane were you hoping to fly when you thought of becoming a fighter pilot?

[@MordeaniisChaos]

Aircraft operate at great ranges and anyone operating aircraft in a combat scenario needs to have perfect vision to be able to identify ground targets, spot incoming air power or worse, incoming fire, and more. Much like a sniper, having excellent vision is very important. Any chances of someone misreading a situation needs to be avoided. Combat is unforgiving. Best not to take any chances.

[@trivaltrek]

Q: Not sure if this has been asked before, But how difficult was it fitting back into Civilian life after you came back, and what qualifications did you possess at that point?

[@MidnightOwl92]

Only way to do it. that first visit if your undecided on what you want to he's going to give you some pamphlets with various MOS on them. If your over weight or underweight your going to get told what minimum or maximum weight is. There is honestly nothing to worry about. Oh if you know a retired or active service member that you can take with you do that.

[@WorldTechFoundation]

Marine Corps Mondays! How were you treated after your first deployment? I am wondering what changed after your first deployment? how did friends and family act around you? were they nicer? more respectful? what did you like about how they acted around you? what did you not like?

[@TaeMorris]

Q. How do you get in the unit where you sit at a post all day? "For some reason I like doing that lol"

[@ZeltClan360]

What was the worst situation you have ever been in while in the marines e.g pinned down by a sniper.

[@aleksandarivanovic5365]

Have you ever come across the Canadian Military and what are your experience with them thanks awesome vid..

[@oxenslayer13]

Q&A: Did you ever work alongside units from foreign countries, and what was that like?

[@tohamyproductions]

Question: Hi Devil I was wondering if you could talk about the climbing and repelling in boot camp. Btw I am afraid of heights but I had situations where i faced it. Thanks!

[@rangerroy641]

I just watched this video, when I went through basic at Benning I ran over our 1st Sgt coming out of the gas chamber. I knew I ran into someone coming out about 20 minutes later my 1st Sgt came over and checked on me and a couple of other privates after we told we were good to go,I found myself in the "front lean and rest".

[@bobaf15]

+Ranger Roy fort leonardwood for me, best bart of basic for me.

[@nzs360]

Would love to see more Stalker, just putting that out there.

[@cobraz22]

haha yeah good times. When your in the 03 field you may from time to time experience much more of it. especially through a specific course called Urban Leaders, which is essentially just a MOUT course (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) but really CQB in a nutshell. going from door to door simulating clearings when bam! your instructors throw the actual full blown CS grenades which is the real deal. Boot camp you get a small sample of this where its just some of the chemical burning and being waved in the air. The grenades are fume clouds. Had one of these tossed into a building that we were holding as a FOB or base. Lets just say you learn to live with, the smell, the taste, the 72 to 96 hours of skin burning cause your out there for 4 days training, lungs on fire lol. kinda no escape from it except hope the wind takes it somewhere else or you block any type of ventilation from the source. I loved it. Especially at night when you couldn't tell if the instructors were trying to trick you with smoke or cs gas.

[@alexflores4380]

Q: talk about snipers in combat and while in Iraq did you ever talk/work with navy seal chris kyle

[@butchuck1]

Q:once you enlist to be Infantry for 4 years, can you enlist in a diffrent MOS?

[@XReWiinDZzZz]

Q&A: How many years of infantry can you do in the marines?

[@MRAIRTIME112]

I think he's infantry however he was in a LAV-25 vehicle squad thing too at one time.

[@EstaticFeats]

Enlisted Marines v.s Officers. (Grunts and Infantry Officers) Which one is better, why, and what are their roles. I either want to go right after high school to the Corps or go through college first then become an Officer.

[@tromboneandfalcons]

Makes sense. Even if gas warfare isnt very common, accidents can happen when there may be gas leaks or other types of dangerous fumes.

[@rolando1185]

Dude, the picture of this MCM made me think about a future one. I'm kinda wondering what women are like in the Marines. Were you around them much?

[@coltsmith4381]

there is a marines and an army, marines are infantry, army is mainly tanks and armord vehicles.

[@Thatdude61]

It was in an old Q&A video when he was playing BF3 on Kharg Island.

[@jeseadams2082]

If you can do well in MOS school probably your entire first tour. Usually your 2nd tour they put you behind a desk for recruiting duty :P That's what happened to my OSO lol

[@damonmatchulat3075]

Have you ever had to do any marching cadences while running

[@Hamby427]

because certain lights on the dashboard mean certain thing u cant see the wrong color and in an emergancy thats not good

[@DBAVibezz]

if im not mistaken there is no certain gun except for rank private to corporal use m16 and sergeants and up use m4s it goes by MOS

[@houndofchulainn76]

The last time you'll have any power over your career in the military is before you sign. Don't trust your recruiter, read everything, don't make any quick decisions. When you think you are ready to sign wait 24 hours to remember anything you might have forgotten. And, the Gas Chamber was awesome.

[@Deejaytwenty2]

Devil, do you have any good stories about your personal experience with the rivalry against the Army?

[@redryan500]

Have you ever done any operations alongside the British Royal Marines?

[@Judas114]

Yes. It's done in lines of people. One line pulls off their masks, and everyone in that line cannot leave until everyone has said their last name, rank (SR) and full social.

[@cessnaismydog]

Q: what was the first thing u felt when u had a rifle in ur hand and where invading a other country

[@RowdyRauder]

Q: What are your thoughts on Bowe Bergdahl and what has been done to rescue him?

[@nicholasmarumoto129]

What type of body armor did u wear on deployment. I hear that the old one is being fazed out for scalable body armor. And what was the hottes it got on your deployment

[@SaltiiLord]

Q: Would you ever encourage your children to join the Marine Corps right when they graduate high school, or would you rather have them go to collage?

[@TheIbanezking123]

Hey Devil, why is the Marine Corps so up tight about their MCCUUs? I know the Army can wear their ACUs around in like stores and stuff, but Marines can't. Please answer that for me.

[@mateusz73]

How many times have you been chased by the MP's and have you ever stolen anything from the Army?
