Don’t Rely on Luck this St. Patrick’s Day
For many Americans, St. Patrick’s Day (celebrated
this year from 6 p.m., March 16, to 5:59 a.m.,
March 18) has become a popular opportunity to
celebrate with friends and family. Unfortunately,
due to drunk drivers, the festivities have also
become very dangerous.

Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety
show that over 700 people were killed nationwide
in crashes involving drunk drivers during the St.
Patrick’s Day holiday during the period from 2006
to 2010. There were 129 lives lost in 2010 alone.
These tragic statistics demand a sober solution.
Whether you are meeting a few friends at the local
pub after work or attending a party, if you plan on
drinking alcohol, don’t drive.

Following these easy steps, drivers will be
reminded to enjoy a safe and festive holiday
without jeopardizing their lives and the lives of
others who may be on the road.

   Coordinate with local bars to display “Domino
    Strategy” posters on the back of stall doors.

   Coordinate with alcohol retailers (liquor stores,
    convenience stores) to display “Domino
    Strategy” posters on windows, cooler doors, etc.

   Work with local law enforcement and
    emergency medical staff to stage a mock car
    crash, draft signs displaying St. Patrick’s Day
    fatality numbers. Invite media and local schools
    to attend.

   If your community has a St. Patrick’s Day
    parade, enter a themed float emblazoned with a
    “Domino Strategy” banner.

   Partner with local organizations to distribute
    That Guy coasters, playing cards, T-shirts, etc.
    at bars/St. Patrick’s Day parades. That Guy
    items can be ordered at
    http://resources.thatguy.com

   Work with CSADD Chapter and recruit
    volunteers to dress as leprechauns and distribute
    “That Guy” limerick flyers at bars/parades.

   Promote your Command Safe Ride Home
    program.

  • 7. Don’t Rely on Luck this St. Patrick’s Day For many Americans, St. Patrick’s Day (celebrated this year from 6 p.m., March 16, to 5:59 a.m., March 18) has become a popular opportunity to celebrate with friends and family. Unfortunately, due to drunk drivers, the festivities have also become very dangerous. Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety show that over 700 people were killed nationwide in crashes involving drunk drivers during the St. Patrick’s Day holiday during the period from 2006 to 2010. There were 129 lives lost in 2010 alone. These tragic statistics demand a sober solution. Whether you are meeting a few friends at the local pub after work or attending a party, if you plan on drinking alcohol, don’t drive. Following these easy steps, drivers will be reminded to enjoy a safe and festive holiday without jeopardizing their lives and the lives of others who may be on the road.  Coordinate with local bars to display “Domino Strategy” posters on the back of stall doors.  Coordinate with alcohol retailers (liquor stores, convenience stores) to display “Domino Strategy” posters on windows, cooler doors, etc.  Work with local law enforcement and emergency medical staff to stage a mock car crash, draft signs displaying St. Patrick’s Day fatality numbers. Invite media and local schools to attend.  If your community has a St. Patrick’s Day parade, enter a themed float emblazoned with a “Domino Strategy” banner.  Partner with local organizations to distribute That Guy coasters, playing cards, T-shirts, etc. at bars/St. Patrick’s Day parades. That Guy items can be ordered at http://resources.thatguy.com  Work with CSADD Chapter and recruit volunteers to dress as leprechauns and distribute “That Guy” limerick flyers at bars/parades.  Promote your Command Safe Ride Home program. www.nadap.navy.mil  P February 2013 ● Page 7 l a n

Operation Supplement 2012 - 2013 Safety (OPSS) STATISTICS Dietary supplement use is prevalent in the military and consumption occurs for a variety of reasons: ARIs & DUIs to improve performance, to lose weight, to gain muscle mass and/or to improve health. FEB 322 99 Unfortunately, use of some supplements has MAR 373 123 resulted in adverse events which compromised performance and health rather than improve it. As a result of adverse events across DOD, the assistant APR 402 107 Secretary Of Defense For Health Affairs, ASD(HA), directed a dietary MAY 345 87 supplement educational campaign to address these issues, resulting in Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS). JUN 336 76 OPSS is a joint initiative between the Human Performance Research Center JUL 323 76 and the DOD to educate service members, retirees, families, leaders, healthcare AUG 284 87 providers, and DOD civilians about dietary supplements and how to choose them wisely. SEP 295 110 OCT 345 83 OPSS aims to affect behavioral change of dietary supplement use through an educational campaign. This knowledge will help Sailors decide whether to take NOV 218 66 supplements and if they decide to do so, which ones represent the wisest and DEC 200 68 safest choices.
