First Sergeants’ Corner
No excuses!
Do you know what you are putting into your body? Do you always question the ingredients of an item before you ingest it? Do you take the time to read the ingredient and warning labels on the back of food and drug products?
You should, not just because of the harm you risk to your body but because you’re in the military and expected to live up to a higher standard than the rest of society.
More than once, Airmen have self-identified themselves as having mistakenly consumed an illegal substance. A failure to read that a bottle of beer contains hemp or that the medication a friend shared was actually a controlled substance are never excuses eliminating people from their responsibility.
In fact, these failures are not mistakes, but are poor choices. This is considered deliberate ignorance, and although people claim ignorance, they are held to the same expectations, administrative actions and punishments as those who have actual knowledge of their own infractions.
You have a responsibility to know what you are putting in your body. Take your responsibility seriously.
Construction Corner
Roadway realignment
The inbound lane at the entry control facility of the gate at Vogelweh Military Housing, 4th Avenue, will be shifted to accommodate construction until March 30. The lane shift is needed to maintain two-way traffic during reconstruction of the roadway. The inbound and outbound lanes at the gate will remain open during construction.
The 435th Construction and Training Squadron is performing the work. For more information, call 480-3599.
