52nd FW achieves milestone Published Nov. 19, 2007 By Col. Darryl L. Roberson 52nd Fighter Wing commander SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- Congratulations Sabers on achieving three months without an driving while under the influence incident! We have gone 90 days without a DUI and we continue to set a new record for the 52nd Fighter Wing each day. Thanks to all of you for making this happen. Each individual contributes by ensuring they don't get a DUI. Wingmen are helping, supervisors are doing a great job and we continue to have other options besides driving after drinking ... AADD is at their post, Saber Patrol is keeping an eye out, the first sergeant's have the ride for life program and the desire of supervisors, shirts and commanders to take care of their people is strong. Our objective is to keep this going! We have a special challenge now as we approach the holiday period from Thanksgiving to after the New Year. Last year during this same period, the Wing made it without a single DUI...it was amazing! With all of the squadron and unit social events, like the holiday parties, we took care of each other with great focus on making sure every individual was able to get back safe without having to drive. I encourage all to designate drivers, set up mass transportation, be the kind of wingman that will not let a friend fail and a supervisor that knows what is going on with each of those you lead. Let's keep the streak alive and continue to SEEK excellence, ATTACK this challenge and DESTROY DUI's as an obstacle to our success! Let's ensure we set ourselves up for a DUI-free holiday season from Thanksgiving until after the New Year. Thanks again and congratulations on a job well done!
