skingusmc, I was an E3(1142), with a billet of Training NCO, (Which meant I was the guy inside the gas chamber putting the tabs on, demonstrating taking a mask off and putting it back on, while a staff sergent pushed people in the door.) got to do the walk of the 6' snot every month for the better part of a year in OKI. ( I have some good pictures somewhere...) Personally I kinda of like CS, does a good cleaning of the sinuses.
Only experiance with pepper spray was having a cloud blow back at me.... Goes to show one can not trust wind.

PS Speaking of Okinawa, and hot peppers, they have a small orange pepper there that is about the size of phillips screw tip that is about the hottest thing I have ever had. I dont think I have ever had anything more potent. No idea what they are called....
