00:05.650 --> 00:08.360
as a soldier you must be able to react

00:08.360 --> 00:10.304
to a threat at a moment's notice .

00:10.304 --> 00:12.640
Especially in close quarters . That's

00:12.640 --> 00:14.751
why soldiers from the military police

00:14.751 --> 00:16.584
platoon , Second brigade support

00:16.584 --> 00:18.251
battalion recently trained in

00:18.251 --> 00:20.540
responding to a detainee attack even if

00:20.540 --> 00:23.650
they were pepper sprayed . Uh Overall I

00:23.650 --> 00:25.817
thought this experience was great . We

00:25.817 --> 00:27.761
had a good instructor . Uh We have

00:27.761 --> 00:29.817
motivated soldiers as always . We're

00:29.817 --> 00:32.940
always motivated . Um Give us a sense

00:32.940 --> 00:35.180
of resiliency . Honestly I mean it's

00:35.180 --> 00:37.236
just not getting pepper sprayed . It

00:37.236 --> 00:39.402
has like a metaphor . You know like no

00:39.402 --> 00:41.291
matter what the circumstances are

00:41.291 --> 00:43.347
continue to push forward and get the

00:43.347 --> 00:43.250
mission job , get the job done no

00:43.250 --> 00:46.360
matter what for the M . P . S to get

00:46.360 --> 00:48.360
the job done . They had to complete

00:48.360 --> 00:50.540
four stations all while experiencing

00:50.540 --> 00:52.651
the pain of the pepper spray which is

00:52.651 --> 00:55.240
also known as O . C . The station's

00:55.250 --> 00:57.139
tested the M . P . S . Ability to

00:57.139 --> 00:59.472
defend themselves and subdue a detainee .

00:59.710 --> 01:01.820
And yet as the mps can attest

01:01.970 --> 01:04.192
completing the stations was easier said

01:04.192 --> 01:06.800
than done . Okay , when you get sprayed

01:06.810 --> 01:09.190
you completely lose sight of what

01:09.190 --> 01:11.301
you're supposed to be doing . So your

01:11.301 --> 01:13.523
memory goes away because you're focused

01:13.523 --> 01:15.579
on the pain so you're just trying to

01:15.579 --> 01:17.690
run through as best as possible after

01:17.690 --> 01:19.912
you don't exercise , you're paying your

01:19.912 --> 01:21.968
face is burning , you can't see it ,

01:21.968 --> 01:25.920
it's excruciating . Yet the

01:25.920 --> 01:27.920
mps found a way to work through the

01:27.920 --> 01:29.980
pain and finish their task so they

01:29.980 --> 01:32.202
could begin the long process of cooling

01:32.202 --> 01:35.930
off tips . I would just say don't give

01:35.930 --> 01:38.152
up , it's gonna burn , it's gonna . But

01:38.152 --> 01:39.986
as soldiers we gotta learn to be

01:39.986 --> 01:42.208
resilient and , you know , charlie mike

01:42.208 --> 01:44.263
and get it done . Yeah . For the 2nd

01:44.263 --> 01:46.374
Brigade , 2nd Infantry Division , I'm

01:46.374 --> 01:47.760
Specialist Matt Hazara .
