AADD to the rescue Published July 8, 2010 By Senior Airman Anthony J. Hyatt 325th Fighter Wing Public Affairs TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Not all programs at Tyndall can help save your career and possibly your life at the same time. One program can, and it has a record of success. Airmen Against Drunk Driving at Tyndall has made approximately 219 saves so far this year, according to Senior Airman Amanda Regan, 325th Communications Squadron client systems technician and AADD director. AADD is a non-Defense Department program designed by Airmen to provide Tyndall personnel, who have a valid DoD identification card, a free, anonymous and safe ride home in the local area. These local areas include Tyndall, Panama City, Panama City Beach, Mexico Beach and Wewahitchka. "The program is a last resort for Airmen who have been drinking and need a safe ride home," said Senior Airman Sarah Anderson, 325th CS client systems technician and AADD director. "AADD should be called only when your coordinated plans have fallen through." A program supported throughout the Tyndall community, AADD volunteers are comprised of servicemembers of all ranks. More than 100 different individuals have volunteered for AADD at Tyndall, said Airman Regan. "Volunteers are the key to the program; they are helping out on their own time," said Chief Master Sgt. Jackie Green, 325th Fighter Wing command chief. "AADD is just an extension of every unit's wingman concept." The program is activated on Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. These hours are extended on holidays.
