asking for help or referring someone for
help before an incident occurs!

11. RIGHT SPIRIT
 The “Right Spirit” campaign was launched in
1995 with some success, but the 2006 Navy
Inspector General’s Alcohol Abuse Prevention
Study found that the campaign is now viewed
as dated and ineffective. The study
recommended that the Navy Personnel
Command (PERSCOM) develop a dynamic and
relevant promotional campaign to reduce
alcohol abuse that replaces “Right Spirit.”
 New campaign should be out by the end of the
year. Continue to use current campaign!
