USN Great Lakes Torture Center December 1963 (yeah - that long ago). I learned that a P coat is useless in a -20 deg wind and that tear gas settles so standing on tip toe misses most of it. I also learned to asy, "yes, sir!" I don't do that anymore unless they are paying me.
Eventually, I wound up in the Riverine forces in 'Nam in '66 but that is another story.
