You train with it to get you used to it. First in basic and then again every few months.
Wait wait wait wait.
How did you end up getting tear gassed in the military? How did you end up getting tased in the military? Why? Who would think that was useful or necessary?

I don’t know about getting tasted, but getting tear gassed in the gas chamber is a standard part of basic training.

When I was in we had to requalify every year. You can actually build up a tolerance so its not that bad.

I got pepper sprayed in the military. In order to be allowed to wear pepper spray on our belts (for law enforcement), we had to be pepper sprayed and fight someone off.
I found it strange, because it’s not like we had to know what it was like to be shot and fight back. It was also one of the worst experiences of my life. Getting accidentally splashed across the eyes with hot sauce ended up not so bad simply by comparison, so I had that going for me.

I knew a guy in the army. It was part of his training for gas masks.
