@alexink As I mentioned, a fortunate guard duty assignment allowed me to escape this experience in basic training when I was in the Army. I had to endure marching through CS gas with no mask and getting pepper sprayed while undergoing riot training during the time I worked in the prison system. I always hated using pepper spray on an inmate (and the times I used it, the inmate thoroughly deserved it 100% of the time) because the first thing you have to do after you deploy it is take them to the shower, remove the handcuffs and let them clean it off. That all too often resulted in the second scuffle of the shift. No thank you!
