You never know when a portable space heater will come in handy.
I have actually seen this happen. Ok, not the space heater, but someone not wearing anything under their chem gear. Actually, I didn’t see the, uh, nekkidness underneath, which is a good thing because it was a guy, but when we were given the ventilation option he decided to pass, and confided in a few of us as to why.
Speaking of the ventilation option, I’m working on a new pinup desktop wallpaper. Once it’s finished, I’ll make it available for everyone, but if you’re a member, you can get a preview of what it’s going to look like here. Enjoy!

Someone’s getting demoted soon…
I got nothing funny to say. I am just replying here to get coinforce view.
But she is hot in all that gear………..
It’s a double edged sword… yes you’re cooler, but unless you cut the lining out and washed them a bunch of times in someone elses washers, ie the dorms, you’ll undress looking like a chimney sweep. or like you just got out of a tailpipe…
Depends on what generation suit you’re using. Either way, it’s easier to wash off charcoal in a shower, than get it out of your clothes (and washing machine, and drier). Plus, which would you prefer to imagine Leia doing?
Saw an airman get out of his MOPP gear in an almost completely black set of ABUs (and standing in a big black pile of soot)
last time I was in JSLIST it didn’t even look like I had been in CBRNE gear…
that being said, the first time I got in the old MOPP gear I was covered…
Actually, looks like she has her flight suit on under the chem gear…
Hmmm… I think you mean under her flak vest, which is where her chem suit is.
Oops… guess who hasn’t deployed yet?
Haha, that’s sly as hell… Willows is not amused.
And I can’t wait for the new wallpaper!
I hope she doesn’t have to process the decon line.
Is it bad that I thought of the Dos Gringos song when I saw the strips headline for today?
Not at all! I was listening to em while I was ctahing up on past comics! I’m going in for guns!
True story, being on a Decon line and we had people, both male and female, do their own ventalation. The guy raised his hand and let us know (scooby-doo boxers and combat boots) and the girls were in boy cuts shorts, sports bras, oh, and flip-flops. Lucky for us they just went ahead and got out of their suits. Best volintold detail I’ve ever been on.
Working the CCA (DECON) had its moments. While doing an Phase II ORE, the pilot CCA was just across the taxiway. We had the oportunity to witness some of the pilots strutting their ‘Hanes’…… As for the CCA, we had our share of personnel just wearing the undies (boxers, whitie-tighties, sports bra’s, lacy ones). Some were enjoyable, others repulsive…..
We used the old SCPS2 at Eglin Aux 4 for training. Decon finished with air shower and bunkroom. We were told undergarments or shorts.
We had two women who forgot bras. To save us losing points on evaluation, they took one for the team, stripped off shirts and came in topless.
Such dedication.
When I was at Kadena, being as we had to show up to work in our MOPP gear, they gave us the option to wear just PT shorts and a BDU t-shirt underneath our gear if we so desired. It was nice, but there was still an incident where a female Airman decided to wear “considerably” less. Needless to say she suffered heat stroke and when they went to get her out of her gear and put her in the shade they found out what color her Hanes were. I believe they managed to find a sheet to cover her up while she recovered.
No one calls it a “chemical overgarment”.
Willows does.
I honestly never knew this type of stuff went on in phase 2 exercises. Then again, I never had to go through one yet. And I might not be going through one for the next three plus years. I just happen to be in units that don’t participate with one exception. I left my last base not long before they started practicing for the phase 2 ORI. I did go through some phase 1 OREs and the ORI failure.
Similar story…back at Shaw in 1997-1999, we had an official contest going on among some of the young LTs to see who could get away with wearing the “best” outfit under the chemgear. By the end of the exercise, it had gotten so bad, the Wing Commander had to order everyone to a) wear PT gear under the chemgear (personal gear, we didn’t get the nifty stuff for several more years) and b) workshops had to check to make sure everyone was properly attired.
Some of the young female LTs were unbelievably brazen. I have looked forward to the CCA ever since!
Actually, that should be **UNofficial** contest…the Air Force hasn’t changed that much…
Hah, so no Wing Keggers back then?
Is there anybody ever who doesn’t want to see Leia’s boobs?
Asking that or answering no is a violation of don’t ask don’t tell
ah crap, I meant to put “answering yes”.
“Asking that or answering YES is a violation of don’t ask don’t tell”
It shows I’m tired…
I haven’t had the luxury of wearing less under the chem suits.
I have yet to see the neked option played out here at hEllsworth. but we did have an Airman martial a jet out in a sock, yes thats not a myth, i worked with him for a year. I have had a SSgt strip down to skivies inside a BUFF during a summer refuel. about every five minutes a piece of uniform fell out the window. really funny until HE came down in tighty whities.
This comic is straight from my life at Osan. Heck, in the summer I use to just wear shorts, t-shirt, and Converse hightops under the MOPP gear (thank God someone before me had cut out the lining) from Tuesday to Thursday, since we knew we wouldn’t drop out of MOPP 2/4 until at least Friday. The best was when the very cute captain JAG admitted to us that she only wore underwear under hers. Not only did this woman make BDU’s look good, she even made MOPP gear look nice.
Great story Farva:
