Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP) broke a record April 4 when it officially logged two years free of any alcohol related incidents (ARI).

The milestone was noted on a wooden board, which is on display at the quarterdeck. The board is updated on a daily basis so everyone who enters NASP headquarters will be reminded of the importance of responsible alcohol use.

The tally board has been on display since Dec. 19, 2014, but this is the first time the 730-day mark has been reached.

NASP Commanding Officer, Capt. Christopher Martin, expressed his pride in the command's achievement.

"Two years is such an important milestone," he said. "I am so proud of the base personnel who continue to set the example on how to be responsible both on and off duty."

The achievement is also of note because April has been designated as Alcohol Awareness Month by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence since 1987.

Programs from Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (NADAP) help Sailors be responsible with alcohol and assist some with alcoholism and recovery. Programs such as "Keep What You've Earned" and "Who Will Stand Your Watch" encourage responsible drinking among Sailors by celebrating the achievements in their Navy careers and educate Sailors about the consequences of poor decisions regarding alcohol.
