What year was this? I was a (5711) nuclear, biological, and chemical defense specialist from 01-06 in the Marine corps. as far as I know we do not use or stockpile chemical weapons. The only exception being at fort Leonard Wood Missouri where you have to go through a VX nerve agent and GB (sarin) nerve agent gas chamber in my MOS School. I can't confirm any of what you are saying. The only place where chemical agents were stored are in very clearly marked bunkers that are fenced off, with many chemical agent placards surrounding the perimeter.
You had me at fort McClellan. That is where the school used to be. Knowing this now I can't absolutely refute what you're saying. However standards have changed immensely since then.
Yep, they had a full Nerve Agent training facility with full decon and everything. Saw a bunny die there from Nerve Agent exposure. I'm sure after 9 - 11 a lot of things changed but it did strike me a little weird that there was all this stuff in the middle of nowhere and we just drove to it without being stopped, opened up a garage door, and grabbed a couple of barrels and off we went.
