    Seaman Lindsay Woods, an operations specialist assigned to USS Gunston Hall, takes down a simulated attacker while Sgt. Tyler James, a military policeman with Combat Logistics Battalion 24, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, monitors the training during a level 2 oleoresin capsicum spray certification, Feb. 1. Marines with CLB-24 arranged the course and trained the sailors to deal with the pain from OC spray, a nonlethal weapon similar to mace, and still remain effective during a fight. The certification course is intended to recreate the conditions of a service member becoming contaminated with OC while using the spray. This training was conducted in conjunction with the 24th MEU’s certification exercise with Amphibious Squadron 8 scheduled Jan. 27 to Feb. 17, which includes a series of missions intended to evaluate and certify the unit for their upcoming deployment.
