The 101 Critical Days of Summer safety campaign is a Naval initiative to increase awareness of potential risks related to off-duty recreational activities, as well as other summertime endeavors. We encourage our Marines and Sailors to continue getting out in front and not let our guard down in our collective efforts to understand risk and behaviors that contribute to summer-related mishaps.

"This period is historically the most dangerous time of year for off-duty mishaps across the Navy and Marine Corps. Despite years of awareness efforts, 23 Sailors and Marines were lost in summer 2024 alone, losses that were preventable. We can, and must, do better. These are not just numbers; they are teammates, friends, and loved ones. We must act with urgency and purpose."
— The Honorable John Phelan, 79th Secretary of the Navy
