NOTES
Some don’t take DUI seriously; Munros’ Driving Instruction helps set the record straight.
NASWI NEWS Kudos to Naval Ocean Processing Facility and Navy Munitions Command for completing IDIPIC’s ‘stand alone safety stand down’ aka its DUI/Underage Drinking prevention panel last month. Several personnel came from other commands as well, bringing the total for both panels to nearly 500. Coming up: 21 May panel is on; so far forVAQ-130 and VP-69. Seating at 14o0. Runs to about 1615. Room for about 250 more. Call if sending group of ten or more: 672-8219 or email idipic AT idipic DOT org. Panel June 30, seating 0745 (CNATTU). Lots of seating for more. Call or email for details. General details on base panels HERE.
PLEASE NOTE: if your command indicates it will be joining the reserving command and sending all or a large portion of its command to a panel, AND FOR SOME REASON CANNOT DO SO, notify IDIPIC as far in advance as you can. NOT doing so could mean others were turned away for lack of seating, which means less training for more personnel .
Come visit IDIPIC at the base safety fair May 18 from 1030 to 1330,
white dome in front of gym.
PANELS for May 5th in Freeland and the 7th in Oak Harbor. For future panel dates, check the schedule HERE.
PANEL QUOTE OF THE MONTH “Very touching, knowledgeable presentation. Sad to be sitting around younger peers who still feel too cool to own up to the responsibilty of drinking. When are we all going to realize it’s far ‘cooler’ to stop your friend from killing themselves or someone else rather than being ‘too cool’ to take away the keys.” ~ 26 y/o E-4

WHIDBEY ISLAND MARATHON was April 15 and twelve of us had a blast manning Water Water #12 at the corner of Regatta and Torpedo roads dispensing water and cheer to hundreds of runners and walkers. Got lots of grins and laughs as some folks thought we were the Village People. <smile>.
