Do some house keeping near your post and pick up everything and anything that is capable of being thrown. Limit exposure to wide open spaces that have some type of cover available quickly. A few candy bars and bottles of water. Forget eating.

DO NOT turn your head when glass is flying at you. It can and will come around your shield and cut you or get into your eyes.

Wishing everybody good luck and stay safe.

p.s. Leave the hair gel products alone. If you get hot and sweaty it may run into your eyes causing burning and partial temporary blindness.
