Gas Gas Gas!

Recruits with India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, experience the Gas Chamber during chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear (CBRN) training on Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., April 3, 2023.

During CBRN training, recruits are exposed to gas agents in order to familiarize themselves with the use of a gas mask.

These fine gentlemen joined the Marines to find purpose in life, gain communication skills, get more courage, and become a leader.

They said no better way to do that than to join the Marines and become part of our advanced intangible skills you will learn and to join the world's 911 force in readiness for Air, Land, and Sea and to help those in need globally.
