Off-Duty and Recreation Checklists___________________________________________________
Critical Days of Summer____________________________________________________________

Summer Mishap Prevention Campaign

Since the 1960s, military safety specialists have referred  to the time period between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend as the "Critical Days of Summer" due to the well-recognized trend of increased risk and resulting mishaps. To focus on risk management initiatives and increase awareness among Sailors and Marines, the Department of the Navy sponsors an annual summer safety campaign that is kicked off for the Memorial Day holiday and runs through the Labor Day holiday.
