I had my OC training class today. I got sprayed in the face with OC aka mace/pepper spray. and NOT the kind you buy at Wal-Mart. this was much much more intense. i thought i was going to die. we got sprayed then we had to open our eyes, say our name shift and LT...do 10 pushups and then have our buddy walk us to the watering hole (which was almost a mile away) The only way i can describe is it...
its like suffocating or what drowning must feel like. you can NOT open your eyes and when you do it feels like 100 knives stabbing you. your throat closes and your mind goes HAYWIRE. i really felt like i was going to die. you can finally somewhat open your eyes in about 30 minutes, your body burns like you have been on the beaches of FLA for 3 days straight. it runs down your body (yes even in the groin area) after about an hour your eyes are almost heal but still tear up every now and then. the burning comes and goes...so far that has lasted for about 12 hours now. taking a shower re-activates it. YES it is that bad. i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy and i sure as hell will NOT be spraying anyone unless i feel like i am about to be killed. UNBELIVABLE!!
