A life can be saved with one sentence, one decision, or just one action. Military, civilian, and dependents of the Fort Gordon community will have the opportunity to learn ways to save a life with something as simple as a right decision.

Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention is sponsoring the "SAVE A LIFE TOUR," on Monday and Tuesday, 2-3 Feb.; at Gym 3 from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free to the event that features the high-tech "Save-A-Life" Tour interactive drunk driving simulator.

"Save-A-Life" Tour allows a participant to experience first hand how alcohol impairs driving while the participant remains sober and stationary. The simulator includes a driver's seat and three screens that provide a 180-degree field of visions and images in rear-view mirrors.

It gradually changes response times, minimizing the dulling effects of alcohol.

As in real life, the majority of impaired drivers who take on the simulator have accidents caused by narrowing of focus and concentration to what is directly in front of them, and ignoring dangers around them.

The "SAVE A LIFE TOUR" is scheduled as part of a 120- day "Save-A-Life" Tour to com- mands across the country. The focus of each stop includes alcohol awareness, drunk driving and safe driving, and myths and truths about alcohol and drugs. "Save-A-Life" Tour helps commands foster changes in attitude and behavior through awareness, while deglamorizing alcohol use in the areas of Driving under the influence/ Driving while intoxicated, underage drinking, and alcoholrelated fatalities.
