Quotes

"People just don't equate drinking and boating the same way they do drinking and driving, but they are very muchmuch the same thing," Chambers said. "We just have to get them to understand that although they are out there having fun, we need to save the alcohol for the beach or shore."
"Drivers should always be on the lookout for motorcyclists," McCormick said. "Drivers must be aware that a motorcycle, as one of the smallest vehicles on the road, can be 'hiding' in your vehicle's blind spots. Always check blind spots, use mirrors and signal before changing lanes or making turns."
...Rispress, MFTC instructor, Fitness School, Physical Readiness Division, Fort Jackson, S C , said one of the ongoing issues during the course was, "Soldiers came with bad habits that they bring over from their units."
"We can't thank the Army enough for providing the opportunity to test (the new BRC)," Ochs said. "It's going to be released a lot sooner than we thought we could get it done."
