MADD and DUI convictions.Military Officer and NCO clubs have been forced to merge for pretty much the same reason.
Actually that was a very minor reason. We would have prefered to have our Soldiers drinking on Post as we could watch them. It was a requirement for duty officers to visit the club and if one was drunk have some one take back to the barracks or their home. The main reason for the closure of the clubs had to do with the competition that spring up outside the gate. Soldiers wanted to get off post for the freedom and the variety that was offered. Even though we tried many different themes we still could not effectively compete with the restaurants and the bars off post. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Through residential streets patrolled by the local police department. Clubs of all types have declined in popularity for at least 20 years because of MADD and DUI convictions. Military Officer and NCO clubs have been forced to merge for pretty much the same reason. But somehow, that never factored into the thinking. Pretty obvious at the time. |
