AIRMEN AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING ACCEPTS MISSION TO STOP DRUNK DRIVING
Airmen Against Drunk
Driving (AADD) was formed to eliminate the alarming number of DUIs/DWIs
on Air Force bases and in surrounding communities. Their goal is to eliminate
future alcohol-related driving incidents by providing military members
a method of transportation, without using chain of command and without
fear of repercussion.
AADD operates a hotline that is staffed Friday and Saturday nights, as well
as during holidays and downloads, from 2300 to 0400 hours. When an individual
calls the hotline, the operator asks the following information: Where are you?
How many are in your party? Where do you need to go? How can we identify you
when we arrive? In addition, the AADD will also drive vehicles back to base,
if necessary. This service is available to all military, military family members
and Department of Defense civilians at no charge.
The AADD takes its awareness campaign seriously. They regularly host a Newcomers
orientation and a Commanders briefing to make sure each soldier knows that the
Hotline is available as an alternative to driving while impaired. During the
summer and winter holidays, when alcohol-related traffic deaths are at their
highest, AADD steps up its promotional efforts with articles in base newsletters.
In addition, the AADD spearheads the Red Ribbon awareness campaign in partnership
with local MADD chapters.
One group alone cant do this comprehensive a program. AADD works in partnership
with:
- Squadron Designated
Driver programs
- Outside organizations
by recruiting them as program sponsors
- 24-7 Care
- Substance abuse clinics
- First Sergeants Association
- Senior Enlisted Advisor
- Numerous Squadron,
group and wing commanders
