Marine Corps Enforces Breathalyzer Tests
The Marine Corps Alcohol Screening Program (ASP) is an initiative focused on preventing alcohol abuse. As of Jan. 1, Marines and sailors found to have a blood alcohol content of .01 percent or higher during regular working hours will be subject to counsel, and treatment and those with a BAC of .04 percent or higher will undergo a fit-for-duty assessment and further corrective action. Marines and sailors may receive random breathalyzer tests semi-annually. Marines and sailors found to be dealing with alcohol abuse and dependency will be referred to a Substance Abuse Counseling Center. Commands retain the ability to render additional administrative reprimand. For additional information about the ASP, contact a unit SACO or visit the Marine Corps Community Services website.
