SUBJ/NATIONAL DRUNK AND DRUGGED DRIVING (3D) PREVENTION MONTH//
 
RMKS/1.  DECEMBER IS NATIONAL DRUNK AND DRUGGED DRIVING (3D)
PREVENTION MONTH.  IT IS A TERRIFIC OPPORTUNITY TO RE-EXAMINE THE
IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR BEHIND THE WHEEL AND THE NEED TO
LOOK AFTER OUR SHIPMATES, PARTICULARLY AS WE PREPARE FOR THE HOLIDAY
SEASON.
 
2.  ABOUT A THIRD OF ALL HIGHWAY DEATHS INVOLVE DRUNKEN DRIVING.
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS IMPAIR ONE'S JUDGMENT, SLOW DOWN REACTION TIME,
AND DESTROY LIVES ON THE ROAD AND OFF.  DO NOT LET YOU OR YOUR
PEOPLE BECOME STATISTICS.  GET INVOLVED, DEMAND COMPLIANCE, AND
RAISE AWARENESS OF THE DANGERS.  WE OWE IT TO OUR SAILORS AND TO
THEIR FAMILIES.
 
3.  A GOOD WAY TO RAISE AWARENESS IS TO HIGHLIGHT THE NAVY'S "RIGHT
SPIRIT" ALCOHOL PREVENTION AND DEGLAMORIZATION CAMPAIGN.  LAUNCHED
BY SECNAV TO REDUCE ALCOHOL ABUSE AND RELATED INCIDENTS, "RIGHT
SPIRIT" HAS HELPED DEMONSTRATE BOTH THE HEALTH RISKS AND THE LEGAL
RAMIFICATIONS OF EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION.  IT IS AN ESSENTIAL
ELEMENT OF OUR EFFORTS TO ENSURE READINESS AND AN INTEGRAL PART OF
COVENANT LEADERSHIP.
