I was glad I was never peppered sprayed or hit with mustard gas. Because if I had I would have been a seasoned veteran.

We were. I was the 6th out of 12 I think to get out of the room. I really dont know how 8-12 kept it together waiting to get out.

(196,843 posts)That was actually the second time Id been gassed. The first was at Va. Tech. Some ROTC guy (we heard) got kicking out of the racing party across the landing. About 8-10 of us (guys and girls) were leaving one of their apartments. We open the door and WHAM!! We shut the door and ran to any water we could find - sinks, bathtub, and 2 guys scooping out of the toilet.
😳😂
There was a guy I didnt know whod previously passed out in the couch by the front door. Never woke up. Slept through it.
