I did a search for NBC and found nothing on the forum previously. Looks like it may be the big white elephant in the room...
I do not know where to begin, perhaps this will become a sticky, I am just going to "freestyle" here with whatever comes to mind.
I have to remain cryptic, but the reason I am choosing to write this now is because we just had a meeting at work about something that has come up. And it got me thinking...
Certainly one of the most horrific things to think about is facing NBC hazards. My early prep days were dedicated to lots of NBC awareness because the Army kept pounding the importance into my head. I am honestly not sure why, since back then I was just an ordinary MP, in fact my area of expertise was POW interrogation. Much later in my military life, I was one of the founding members of the CERF-P team for the MA National Guard (combined Army and Air Force effort), we literally started from scratch and wrote the SOP as we went along, sourcing some things from civilian sources when nothing in the military inventory fit our needs. If there is one particular area of survival that I know a lot about, for some reason it just happens to be NBC preparedness, treatment, and recovery. Until this evening, however, I had not thought about it much since I left the Guard in MA in 2007.
So...thoughts? Questions? Comments? Let's start a discussion. I could probably write a book about this subject, I do not know where to begin! Shall we discuss personal preps? Good v bad equipment? Detection, decon, exposure treatment?
