Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. --  U.S Air Force Airman 1st Class Colin Patterson, 20th Security Forces Squadron entry controller, washes his face after pepper spray training at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Feb. 29, 2016. Pepper spray, also known as oleoresin capsicum, is made from the same naturally-occurring chemical that makes chili peppers hot, but at concentrations much higher and is used as a deterrent against perpetrators.
