“Alcohol doesn’t care what rank you possess, your age, gender, what your pay stub looks like, how many deployments you’ve been on, or where you were raised,” Barkley said. “We don’t go into the Marine Corps and battle with muskets anymore, nor should we embrace a Marine Corps that condones, hides, or ‘sweeps under the rug,’ any type of high-risk alcohol behavior or incidents. It’s the future of our Corps that we are looking at but in order to create a change we have to gain the attention of this generation and teach them about the effects of alcohol. Alcohol Awareness Month is for that.”
