Leave/Liberty Safety (Ship's Instruction)
Topic/issue: Traffic Safety
Source: USS John L. Hall (FFG-3)
Description: Part of the ship's instruction dealing with traffic and off-duty safety is a leave/liberty statement that must be attached to out-of-area leave chits and special request chits. It informs the service member that he or she is expected to be ready to work after returning from leave/liberty and provides instructions for emergencies/situations that might prevent a safe, on-time return. The instruction contains a pre-trip checklist that ensures travel has been sufficiently planned; ensures safe vehicle operating condition, current insurance, and validity of driver's license prior to driving trip; and reminds service members of important vehicle safety information just prior to planned trip. Finally, the instruction includes a pre-trip vehicle-inspection checklist.
