Something shown but not mentioned about ppe is that class A's are used in the most hazardous enviroments with splash and vapor hazards (also the video shows people with APRs or air purifying respirators on instead a completely self contained air tank) but that is for more civillian side work where as in the field we use MOPP gear that is quicker to get on and can only last for a few hours in a contaminated environment but allows for quick response and contact with the hazardous situation.

In addition to the training that you would receive during school there's an opportunity to attend additional schools including chemical and biological reconnaissance, radiological reconnaissance, tech escort which means handling war crimes evidence or being an instructor. Attending reconnaissance School requires learning how to operate the striker and its associated weapons systems. I was in the Chemical Corps for 10 years and I loved my time in the Army.

    Army CBRN Soldier here, picked my MOS as a last resort, but its actually fun. This video is well-researched. My favorite parts of Chemical School AIT was CDTF were you train in a special facility that often replicated hostile environments (North Korean labs usually) were all the writing is in a foreign language, so you have to locate the substance through other means other than using labels, and yes you're dealing with actual agents. Recon/Sampling is another part of training I really enjoyed, scanning for radiation, or chem/bio agents on the, entering abandoned buildings, fun stuff. Not for the claustrophobic tho.

Now you didn’t mention OCS so you’re likely not going to A Co. I’m not gonna divulge too much but at least during the time I was in, the level of strictness and intensity of training is VERY different between B and C companies. One of these companies is notorious for being excessively disciplinarian and I had the misfortune of being this company’s foremost student leader. I’m not gonna tell you which company is chill and which one is gonna deprive you of sleep over a slightly misfolded sheet, as I believe this might lead you to overthink and fret over wanting to go to the easier company. Beyond the drastically different cultures of these companies, Chemical school feels almost like a regular boarding school.

    As a former 54B which was the original mos until it was switched to 74D this is somewhat accurate. What they don't tell you is unless you're not in a chem unit or tech escort you won't be doing crap. If you're in a hard line chem unit where you would either do smoke, recon or bio-detection then there's where the fun is and you will be doing some Frontline work and deploy alot. Mostly providing support for infantry or cav units specially if your recon(driving the fox). Smoke platoons also get to provide cover for infantry. Tech escort is the elite of the chemical core. They roll with EOD and special ops groups. Not alot of tech escorts. Community is very small. If you're going CBRN your goal should be tech-escort.

    I think it's important to emphasize CBRN training is not only in the military, but, with the potential use of CRBN attacks by terrorists, First Responders also get training in CBRN. There's a basic level all need to understand, and of course, you can always choose to train further in it if that's an area you want to specialize in. People who go that route usually end up doing hazmat response. Colloquially called "Glow Worms."

    The CS gas exposure is done to all MOS in the Army. I was a 19D and boy was that painful but also enjoyable.

    my grandfather died a year ago due to heart issues from agent orange, it entered his heart and arteries and he had to have 2 open heart surgeries. Until he just couldnt fight anymore. He used to handle barrels of it on his brown water boat, it got all over him and his friends.

    Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defence (CBRN defence or CBRNE defence) are protective measures taken in situations in which chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear warfare (including terrorism) hazards may be present. CBRN defence consists of CBRN passive protection, contamination avoidance and CBRN mitigation.
    A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both scope (i.e., CBRN can be a mass casualty situation) and intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are intentional and malicious; evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern than with HAZMAT incidents.
    A 2011 forecast concluded that worldwide government spending on CBRN defence products and services would reach US$8.38bn that year.
