      I sure hope so. The only time you would want to change your filters
      in a contaminated environment would be to get a direct PCS move to 
      Arlington National Cemetery. Contrary to popular belief the M-40
      (or any other protective mask) does not allow you protection when 
      changing the filter in a contaminated environment.
