Nothing like that in the Coast Guard and the Norfolk cops did not have
spray. They just beat the **** out of you.



The Coast Guard now does pepper spray as part of side arm
qualifications. My grandson recently went through it.


One of my grandsons was considering the Coast Guard. He wanted to be a Coast Guard officer. But he
called last night and informed me he got accepted to Auburn. I suppose the Coast Guard is taking a
back seat for now.
