I'm about to enter the police academy and just had a few questions. Has anyone (I know there's a lot of military people here) had experience with it? What should I expect and any tips and pointers would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Lol. I figure it'll suck but I just keep telling myself it's one time and done. I figure the zap will be a few seconds of hell then done. The mace will suck... Takes longer to stop and go away.

Is blinking a lot or not much helpful either way?

It's not gonna matter. It's gonna burn. There will be lots of snot, tears, & saliva. It'll be over soon.

Never been maced but tear gassed. Nothing you can do but suck it up, no way to prepare for it.

Never been tazed.

I have been pepper sprayed (twice) and tear gassed. The pepper spray felt like a thousand needles dipped in liquid hell and then shot into my face with a 12 gauge shotgun.

So.... good luck.

Just don't piss your pants when you get zapped. Nothing you can do for being gassed, it's going to be awful no matter what you do to prepare.

I've been sprayed in the face by a bouncer ( years and years ago). I then whipped his butt.

Then I went to jail. Oh to be young again.

Mace sucks and its gonna burn no point in lying, the thing you gotta remember is to breath if you don't then you'll panic and it'll just make it worse. As far as the burn keep your eyes open and wash them with cold water and soap, also sit infront of a fan (if available) it really helps.

I thought that sounded like it would just add to the burn. I'll probably just suck it up and do what I got to do. Then follow whatever directions they give me.

Your eyes will be burning anyway so it's not like the soap will add that much of a burn lol

Baby shampoo. It helps, but is more of a psychological thing.

At the OP, here's something that will help.

It sucks, it will burn, it will feel like the aforementioned 1000 pins of napalm hellfire on your face. But it won't kill you.

The fan really helps in the beginning. Also, don't grind in with a towel after getting your face wet. Blot as you are trying to remove the resin portion of the Oleoresin that makes it stick to your face. But do not grind it in.

After effects will depend on the level of dosage you get (7%, 10%, 12%, etc). Decon is important, but I will tell you this, even areas you think you got, you didn't get and as soon as they get hit with water the next day in the shower, they will be a reminder that you didn't get everything you thought you did.

What I've done in the past is about two hours afterwards, start using baby wipes with aloe all over your entire head and neck. Don't leave a spot untouched to include inside your ears. It will burn the first few times, but if you do it hourly, the next day's recovery is way, way, way easier.

Good luck, it sucks

Just suck it up & don't rub your eyes. Even when the effects are gone dont rub anything until you get a good shower. Not sure if I would be keen on the soapy eye wash.

I've been maced and tazed. Both by friends because they thought it'd be funny. I found new friends.
