  5. Objectives • Review and explore, at a deeper level, key issues presented in Mark Sterner’s presentation, “DUI: A Powerful Lesson” • Understand potential consequences of DUI • Consider how cadets might reduce risk so such issues do not occur within the Corps “It’s all about watching out for others” --Mark Sterner

  6. Wavetop Review • Spring break • Mark Sterner with 3 buds • Lots o’ alcohol • DUI with fatalities • Families forever changed • Lifetime of remorse

  7. Straw Poll • Have we personally found ourselves in a situation like Mark Sterner, where we were simply lucky no one was hurt? • Do we see risk of DUI at The Citadel? Is “Luck” Enough? Can we afford to be complacent?

  8. Quick Facts1 • Rate of drunk driving highest among 21 to 25 year olds (23.4 percent) • Average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before first arrest • On average, one in three people involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime • Every day in America, another 28 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes What About Now…Is “Luck” Enough? Can we afford to be complacent? 1 Info from various organizations and studies and found at: www.madd.org/drunk-driving/about/drunk-driving-statistics.html#demo

  9. Scenario One--Reducing Risk-- One of Sterner’s messages is to have a plan that will ensure safety of you & your friends when you decide to go somewhere to drink • To prevent tragedy, it is essential to have a plan prior to leaving the barracks and consuming alcohol • The best plans include who, what, where, when and, most importantly, how (i.e., “how will my friends and I get home safely?”)AND… • A contingency plan (i.e., what do we do if we no longer have a ride home with friends, we no longer have a designated driver who is sober, etc.?)

  10. Scenario One--Reducing Risk-- • Have any of us ever driven when we were intoxicated or been in a car with an intoxicated driver? • What kind of thinking led us or others to drive drunk or drive with someone who’s intoxicated? • As a cadet, what would a good plan to prevent a DUI (and other bad behavior) look like? Create a recipe for success

  11. Scenario One--Reducing Risk-- • Make personal commitment • Form a contract with Buddy or Wingman • Designate a Driver • Use Citadel’s Safe Ride Program • Call Host Parent • Call TAC or Commander Program ALL of these Numbers in Our Phones

  12. Scenario Two--Consequences-- • Like Sterner, most people who drive while intoxicated rarely if ever consider consequences of driving drunk • Impact of driving while intoxicated was profound for Mark Sterner (three deaths) • Impact of DUI might be far less but still life-changing

  13. Scenario Two--Consequences- • What are possible disciplinary consequences at The Citadel for a citation or arrest by the police for an alcohol-related incident like a DUI? • What are the possible professional, post-graduation consequences?

  14. Scenario Three--Leadership-- • Mark Sterner said, “It’s (i.e., his story) all about watching out for others. If you can’t help them, find some someone who can” • The Corps has always felt a duty to one another • Obligation increases with level of responsibility – we gain a duty to watch out for everyone in our care

  15. Scenario Three--Leadership-- • As rising cadet leaders, how might we be a good role model for “responsible” alcohol use and choosing not to drink and drive?   • How might we work with cadet chain of command to change the campus culture where drinking and driving, even if it is drinking just a few drinks, is NO LONGER considered acceptable and common place?

  16. Practical Tips for Leaders--Role Model: Cadets Do What You Do-- COMMUNICATE THE STANDARD CLEARLY BY OUR EXAMPLE • Don’t drink in the barracks • Don’t glamorize excessive drinking • Commend the DDs & those who make the right call • Stop underage drinking when you see it

  17. Scenario Three--Leadership-- • As rising cadet leaders, how might we be a good role model for “responsible” alcohol use and choosing not to drink and drive?   • How might we work with cadet chain of command to change the campus culture where drinking and driving, even if it is drinking just a few drinks, is NO LONGER considered acceptable and common place?

  18. Practical Tips for Leaders--Changing Culture-- • Create the right habits for ourselves • Personal, family, professional • Affirm others who have positive, disciplined habits • Care enough to work with those who have bad habits – give corrective feedback

  19. Practical Tips for Leaders--Changing Culture: Have Simple Co Rule (KISS)-- The One-Rule Model…That’s Simple “Do not do or say anything you would not do or say in front of your mamma” --Keller Kissam, ‘88

  20. Key Takeaways • Have a plan, to include a contract with someone that will stay sober • Prevent lapses through personal responsibility – only drink responsibly (if of age) • Know choices matter • Impacts Citadel career, post-graduation career • Impacts classmates, others, & Citadel reputation • Some consequences are permanent NO COMPLACENCY We have a duty To ourselves & each other

  23. Policy Review--SC State Law-- • The legal age for drinking alcohol is 21 years old • DUI is defined as operating a vehicle (boat, auto, bicycle, or motorcycle) while under the influence of alcohol • SC Law states that a person with a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) level over .08% is considered legally intoxicated. Possible results for offenders? -- Fines, jail time, and loss of driver’s license -- Increase in insurance rates or eligibility for insurance dropped

  24. The Citadel Alcohol Policy (1) • No alcohol consumption or possession on Citadel property • Barracks, campus, Hagood Stadium, College Park, Beach House--REGARDLESS OF AGE • Cadets 21 or older may drink off campus within the confines of the law, and are expected to behave with honor • Cadets may receive dismissal from the college for the following offenses: -alcohol use or possession on-campus, second offense -alcohol use off-campus that discredits The Citadel -DUI conviction
