There is no way I want that shit on my face. I bet panicking and trying to rub it off would only make it a million times worse.
Congrats on passing both phases, bud.
I laughed at your 'worst 5 seconds of your life' comment about the tasing.

The gas chamber sucked, but doesn't compare to pepper spray. Pepper spray is concentrated and localized, especially when the "Z" is applied, which is most likely what Bufkin had to endure: Horizontally across the eyes, diagonally across the nose, and horizontally across the mouth.
I have been through both, though the pepper spray wasn't a result of training: I was detaining a shoplifter who happened to have police grade pepper spray on him. That shit hurt, but I managed to keep a hold of him and get cuffs on him, until the police arrived.
Fortunately, I've never been tazered. I think I'll avoid that one the best I can.
