A visual pause for the safety cause…In conjunction with the Navy’s ‘Keep What You’ve Earned’ campaign to encourage responsible drinking and remind Sailors that all their hard work, discipline and dedication can be negated if a lousy choice is made to drink and drive, Sailors assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness Training Command Bremerton take a moment to visually appeal to their co-workers, colleagues and peers on responsible behavior with adult beverages, especially drinking and driving. Compiled statistics show that four percent of off-duty mishaps involved alcohol, 22 percent of fatalities due to off-duty mishaps involved alcohol. Impaired driving kills one person in the U.S. every 48 minutes. One in three crash deaths involved drunk driving. There were 634 traffic deaths recorded on Washington State highways in 2021. Do the math. That means – on average – 211 people were killed by a drunk driver. Booze was also involved in 37 percent of all fatal bicycle crashes. As NMRTC Bremerton Sailors note…don’t let alcohol get the best of you. Ever (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
