OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray, a.k.a, “pepper spray” is a memorable experience for most service members in every branch or occupational specialty. Being sprayed allows service members the training to fight through the pain when their fight or flight response kicks in. It allows service members to think before deciding to utilize OC spray should an event potentially call for its use. (U.S. Army National Guard video by Sgt. Terry Rajsombath) | Rhode Island National Guard
