Transcript-Bulleti- n I rr Hie legal drinking, age at almost all military Installations in the United States will change June 1 to match the legal age limit of the states in which the bases are located. The Department of Defense announced the drinking age policy's effective date in a memo March 7 by Lawrence J. Korb, assistant secretary of defense for manpower, installations and logistics. For installations not in the 50 states or the District of Columbia, the current drinking age limits will remain unchanged. In August, Deputy Secretary of Defense William H. Taft sent a memo to the ser . vice secretaries announcing that installations will follow the law of the state in which However, they are located. announceuntil the March 7 ment, there was not an effective date or guidance for exceptions to the policy. As of June 1, installations will observe state laws except where: An installation is within approximately 50 miles or one hour driving time of a neighboring state or foreign nation with a lower drinking age than the state where the installation is located.' At remote locations where privately owned vehicles are not available for use by service members. - Or controlled conditions in order to foster . er camaraderie and friendship in the military environment" on "infrequent, occasions when an entire unit, as a group, marks an occasion such as the conclusion of arduous military duty or the anniversary of the establishment of a military service, organization or vessel." Exceptions will be granted or denied based on the consideration of motor vehicle safety and with the approval of the service secretary, the policy said. -- non-routi- ne Military leaders enacted the policy in keeping with federal legislation passed in 1 July that attempts to raise the drinking age in all states to 21. The legislation calls for a denial of some highway funds to states not complyage liing with the 21-ye- ar mit, beginning in 1987. The intent is not to ques- tion the motives or actions of individuals," said Maj. Sal Curto, an official in the Air Abuse Force in the PentaControl Branch gon. "We cannot ignore the number of drinking-relate- d Drug-Alcoh- ol accidents and deaths each year involving drivers under 21. These statistics tell us that we must support action to reduce or reverse that trend. (AFNS) . |
