Our leaders do a good job communicating policies/procedures regarding drinking and driving.
- Ensure all communication vehicles are used (e.g., face-to-face, POD, AOMs, Quarters, publications, etc.). Too often, vehicles to communicate are overlooked.
- I don't expect people to remember what I said two weeks ago. If it's important, publish it or restate it often.
- Eliminate alcohol at unit functions. It sends a mixed message on Drinking and Driving program efforts.
- Establish, communicate (make visible), and enforce performance standards in your command.
- As the CO, I talk about DUI awareness more. After the survey I shared some key statistics with our unit, openly clarified a policy change that occurred over the course of several DUIs...and had our DUI Marines share some of their stories. I honestly believe that DUIs occur mostly because many are unsure about how bad (intoxicated) they are...and we can't stop talking about how the decision to not drive under the influence must occur before the drinking.
- I reissued all new Arrive Alive cards and held a formation for every Marine to hold up and show - to include myself. The message was that is non-attribution to use and enables me to help the Marine vice being forced into a purely reactive situation if something bad happens. We are trying to create a sense of family where every Marine looks out for the safety of their brother.
- Advise all personnel to have a plan (e.g., designated driver, taxi numbers, bus schedule, etc.) before a night on the town.
- Do not use scare tactics. Educate your personnel on the hazards and ORM.
- Maintain relevant hazard reports, notices, etc. in ready rooms and lounges to increase awareness/discussion.
- Develop a formal Safety Department training plan that covers the next year and is coordinated with the unit department heads.
- Routinely encourage your subordinate leaders to work with your Safety Officer/ASO and Safety NCO.
- Central to good leadership is maintaining strong and vibrant two-way conversations with our personnel.
- Communication is key across all pay grades. Ensure it happens.
- Effective communication requires feedback. Ensure feedback mechanisms are in place and used.
- Ensure your unit has a vibrant indoctrination program and a welcome aboard program.
- Ensure your unit has an effective sponsorship program.
- Incorporate mentorship at every level.
- Ensure your unit safety council/committee programs are effective.
- Officers and SNCOs set the standard for alcohol use.
