Drinking and driving: don’t roll the dice

Jerry McDermott
435th Air Base Wing safety office

This past month the KMC has experienced multiple driving while
intoxicated incidents. Fortunately, no one has lost his or her life.
The Air Force does a remarkable job providing for its members and
provides a platform for success. Training and education are routinely
made available, not only in our professions, but also for lifestyle and
safety. Our part of the deal is to use that knowledge for success,
growth and service. Sadly, not all take advantage of the opportunities
provided and often find a more difficult road to follow that is
sometimes filled with lost careers and even the loss of human life.
