BCSS

BCSS refers to Basic Chemical Survival Skill. It is a 2-day course, during which we will be wearing Mob-4 all the way. Just when we thought long-4 was terrible, hot and stuffy, Mob-4 is way worse. Then we did all the drills, the procedure of wearing and taking off, the Mob-1, Mob-2, Mob-3, Mob-4. It will just make you wonder how anyone is going to war in that kind of gears? Though I agree that protection against chemical or even biological attack is important, but surely lighter wears can be improvised. And because of my lungs problem, I’m being excused from the gas chamber, I felt that it was really a great pity, as I really would like to experience how it is like after going through all the drills and the course for the whole duration…
