Yes, I was on that Chin Det (FRT) too.The NAIADs were quite regular and many of those units around us reported alarms. The few times that we masked up were for very short periods and we often left our 'greens' on the ground while working up top - taking just the masks with us. We used to get fully dressed inside the chinooks.
