DUI Safety Stand Down
Marine Corps Air Station Yuma
April 26, 2013 | 2:22
Inspired by 3rd MAW CG’s guidance to approach drinking and driving PMEs in a different venue, Marines from MWSS 371 executed a DUI Safety stand down at Cannon Air Defense Complex and continued with a presentation at MCAS Yuma’s Chapel the next day. The event that took place on April 24 and 25 was a dramatization that offered the real life experience without the real-life risk. The marines witnessed a field sobriety test, the drunk driver being taken away by YPD, victims being taken away via ambulance, one in a body bag, and another mourning the death of his comrades. 16 Marines were informed that they have become a statistic and were sent home for the day without their chain of command knowing. The purpose was to ensure and enforce the proper procedures for accountability throughout the squadron. With the Marine Corps motto being “Always Faithful”, we believe that the Marines seeing the dramatization of fellow Marines killed followed by their funeral and memorial will strike a sudden realization within their hearts that the “Every 15 Minutes” statistic can come from here in this squadron.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
