WEBVTT 00:01.659 --> 00:04.039 Uh over my career , uh I've had 00:04.050 --> 00:07.230 multiple airmen , uh families , friends , 00:07.420 --> 00:09.460 uh who've been impacted by driving 00:09.470 --> 00:12.220 under the influence or du I . Uh and I 00:12.229 --> 00:14.350 can tell you that it's , it's never a 00:14.359 --> 00:16.526 good story . Uh It always turns out to 00:16.526 --> 00:18.719 be something that is either very bad 00:18.729 --> 00:21.020 for the , the person or somebody else's 00:21.030 --> 00:23.250 family . And it's , it's , it's a , 00:23.670 --> 00:26.680 it's a tragedy , it hurts right to , to 00:26.690 --> 00:28.801 know that the person didn't utilize a 00:28.801 --> 00:31.120 resource or didn't make a phone call uh 00:31.129 --> 00:33.669 to try and help them out and prevent 00:33.680 --> 00:35.902 them from getting AD U I or potentially 00:35.909 --> 00:38.020 hurting themselves or somebody else . 00:38.020 --> 00:40.430 Uh Number one , we always want people 00:40.439 --> 00:42.661 to have a good time . They work so hard 00:42.661 --> 00:44.883 and deserve their time off and , and if 00:44.883 --> 00:46.883 that is enjoying , you know , uh an 00:46.883 --> 00:49.050 alcoholic beverage , then we want them 00:49.050 --> 00:51.161 to do that . It's , it's not like I'm 00:51.161 --> 00:53.161 telling people not to drink . I , I 00:53.161 --> 00:55.328 just , I want them to have a good plan 00:55.328 --> 00:57.328 and , and always know that if their 00:57.328 --> 00:59.439 plan fails them , there's , there's a 00:59.439 --> 00:59.259 lot of avenues to help them 00:59.400 --> 01:02.270 specifically here in the C MC with the , 01:02.279 --> 01:04.940 the , the safe drinking portal or , you 01:04.949 --> 01:07.269 know , all the taxi services that the 01:07.279 --> 01:10.110 metro system here is incredible . And 01:10.120 --> 01:12.309 so there's all kinds of ways to avoid 01:12.319 --> 01:14.486 actually getting behind the wheel of a 01:14.486 --> 01:16.708 car and potentially hurting yourself or 01:16.708 --> 01:18.763 somebody else continue to have fun , 01:18.763 --> 01:20.930 but do it safely and responsibly , you 01:20.930 --> 01:23.459 know , it could all be prevented by 01:23.470 --> 01:25.359 making a phone call . I know that 01:25.359 --> 01:27.303 there's not a supervisor , a first 01:27.303 --> 01:29.526 sergeant , a commander , a teammate , a 01:29.526 --> 01:31.692 family member . If you called them and 01:31.692 --> 01:33.859 said I , I need help . I need a ride . 01:33.859 --> 01:35.859 They're not gonna stop what they're 01:35.859 --> 01:37.748 doing and nobody wants to see him 01:37.748 --> 01:37.459 standing in front of their commander in 01:37.470 --> 01:38.692 their service dress . 01:41.150 --> 01:43.261 We talk about the responsibility of a 01:43.261 --> 01:45.261 front line supervisor and what that 01:45.261 --> 01:47.372 means and , and a lot of folks , uh , 01:47.372 --> 01:49.706 to include myself when I was young . Uh , 01:49.706 --> 01:51.928 we don't take it as serious as we could 01:52.239 --> 01:54.406 and don't feel like when you call your 01:54.406 --> 01:56.620 supervisor for help that , that you're 01:56.629 --> 01:58.740 gonna get in trouble . Um , we're all 01:58.740 --> 02:00.685 human . Everybody makes mistakes . 02:00.685 --> 02:02.851 People's plans fail . We just want you 02:02.851 --> 02:03.489 to be safe .
