The 90th Security Forces Group has gone more than six months without having a DUI.

With more than 1,100 Airmen, most of them first term, the accomplishment has encouraged and inspired a more aware Warren force.

"In the military, we're all a big family," said Staff Sgt. Shaun Svetlecic, 90th Security Support Squadron. "You have to be responsible and look out for each other. I always think, 'What if my family was harmed by a drunk driver?' It's people taking care of people and it should always be like this."

The 90th SFG serves Warren's mission by securing the tri-state area: Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado -- about 9,600 square miles of responsibility. The wing employs many security forces Airmen to accomplish this task.

"I've never seen a unit of this size go for that long without a DUI," said Chief Master Sgt. Daniel Galvin, 90th SFG superintendent.

"We wear the shield," said Senior Airman CJ Goins, 790th Missile Security Forces Squadron. "With that shield comes the responsibility of protecting and leading people. I think this accomplishment has shown a degree of that responsibility and I see more and more security forces members holding their head high and leading by example."

Col. David Martinez, 90th SFG commander, arrived at Warren in June and has been making an impact on the Airmen under his command since.

"He is the most active commander I've seen in 29 years," Chief Galvin said. "He has created an expectation from group personnel: make responsible choices. I've seen the wingman concept become a reality over these past months and I think that has attributed greatly to being DUI free."

As of Thursday, the group has not received a DUI in 200 days. The group personnel have the attitude to go even longer without one.

"We all wear the uniform," Airman Goins said. "It's not about the wingman concept; It's about being a friend. Cops rock," he said with a shrug.
