***image1***The Armedforces Against Drunk Driving organization received three GPS units, presented by (see above photo) Brig. Gen. Rich Johnston, KMC and 86th Airlift Wing commander and Chief Master Sgt. Renee Starghill, 86th AW command chief, to Tech. Sgt. Marie Takeshita, 435th Medical Group, and Staff Sgt. Michael Haywood, 435th Communications Squadron, at the 86th AW Commander’s Call Oct. 20.
The units, purchased under the U.S. Air Forces in Europe Alcohol Related Initiatives program, will be used by the more than 1,500 AADD volunteers to locate wingmen that need a safe ride home.
“GPS units are something we have wanted for a long time,” said Sergeant Takeshita, AADD president. “Having these will help us get volunteers because it makes our job easier.”
The volunteer-based organization helped save 1,712 lives in 2005. AADD serves the KMC and offers service to anyone with a military ID card. The service is free and anonymous. If you are ever in need of AADD, contact them at 0631-536-2233.
