00:07.360 --> 00:09.710
- So we started a program called Ride-For-Life.

00:09.820 --> 00:11.550
So we already had an existing program

00:11.550 --> 00:13.320
for Airmen Against Drunk Driving

00:13.320 --> 00:14.960
here at Tyndall Air Force Base,

00:14.960 --> 00:17.320
but we wanted to provide airmen and the population here

00:17.320 --> 00:19.293
at Tyndall with an additional option.

00:19.430 --> 00:21.410
So we partnered with two cab companies

00:21.410 --> 00:24.423
that are local to Panama City, Panama City Beach area.

00:25.020 --> 00:27.370
And those two cab companies are Affordable Taxi

00:28.733 --> 00:31.330
and Fast Cab Company, and they have a network

00:31.330 --> 00:33.363
of cabs all over the local area.

00:33.690 --> 00:35.480
And basically, the program is

00:35.910 --> 00:38.260
airmen can be out having fun with their friends

00:38.420 --> 00:40.750
and if they feel like they've had too much to drink,

00:40.750 --> 00:44.173
they will contact either of these two companies,

00:44.290 --> 00:46.190
which we have this key fob right here.

00:46.370 --> 00:49.250
And it has the AADD number on one side

00:49.350 --> 00:51.400
and it has the Ride-For-Life program

00:51.600 --> 00:54.143
two cab companies' phone numbers on that side.

00:54.460 --> 00:56.010
They call up the cab companies,

00:56.120 --> 00:57.840
they come out and pick up the airmen.

00:57.840 --> 00:59.430
All they have to do is show their military ID

00:59.430 --> 01:01.640
to prove validation of service,

01:01.640 --> 01:04.370
and they get a ride home free of charge.

01:04.370 --> 01:07.083
And the First Sergeant Council pays for it at this time.
