Winter warfare training in Norway, 1985. A British soldier, equipped with gas mask and rifle participates in chemical warfare training during Exercise HARDFALL.
More from George A Romero’s “The Crazies”.
In a strange way for me, the gas masks and all white NBC suits don’t dehumanize the soldiers to me. Their deaths seem even more the horrifying when they can’t express their pain and when those white suits are stained with blood

This is the closest that you will ever get to see me in a photo. Ideally, my face is covered.
It makes me look a little dumpy but that is because it has some air in it.
This is me at Plan 9 Comics in Boone for their Halloween party.I was really too late to show up for the costume contest but they gave me 5th place anyway. I got a bag full of candy and some other stuff.
I didn’t get to stay too long but it was fun. Because of the mask no one recognized me and I kind of freaked everyone out by not talking. It was great. The real tragedy is that this is the only mask I can wear with my glasses. I had an actual Russian made gas mask but due to my bad eye sight and my HUGE head I could not wear it properly. One of the guys who comes to the shop was in the army and told me to be on the look out for wither a M24 gas mask or a M17 gas mask as they were made for people with eye issues.
Thanks to Jenny for snapping these for me!
