Country: | Me too! It wasn't uncommon for us to spend 12 hours at a stretch in them when we were doing NATO exercises in England. Just the thought of that mask is enough to make me feel shortness of breath! UGH!

Country:  | I remember being in the field during Basic Training and having to carry "wounded" comrads out of the danger zone and getting gassed by CS gas. It sucked and then having to carry them on your shoulder and run while in MOP suit. It really SUCKED!!!!

Country: | I forget what the acronym stands for. I think it was actually MOPP. Then we had different MOPP conditions. MOPP1-4, if memory serves correctly.

Country: | Yes, it was MOPP, Mission Oriented Protective Procedure. How's that for a mouthful. Anyway, here is a link that describes the MOPP: http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/mopp/mopp_s01.htm

Country: | Thats right my bad. I sould have know that. It actually goes from MOPP-0 to MOPP-4 I believe. MOPP-0 being regular duty uniform. MOPP_4 in complete NBC gear because an NBC attack has occured or is about to happen.

Country: | We dont. In a combat environment the windows are always open. The cargo doors can be closed because the guns are mounted on pintal mounts in the crew chiefs sliding windows. In Iraq we flew around for the whole year with windows open and the guns out. In Kosovo we had the guns mounted but stowed inside and we flew with the windows shut. Here in Germany we dont even mount the guns and we fly with the windows shut.
