    The USAF Safety Process

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm glad to hear this attitude from so many safety officers. One of my greatest frustrations flying in the Air Force has been the secrecy surrounding safety investigation results.I have never once walked into my safety office, shut the door and successfully been allowed to access and read a safety report. I find it incredibly frustrating that I have easier access to top-secret information than the results of a safety investigation. Mostly the issue is manning, as our safety offices rarely have anybody qualified; this means we are dependent on Wing safety representatives who are not forthcoming or accountable to SQs.

    I thought I was the only one who thought this way. If folks are not being allowed to read the SIB reports, please ask your safety office what the point of a SIB is in the first place. Hint: To Prevent Future Mishaps. I really don't "get" the flight safety culture in the AF. It seems like incidents, big and small, get swept under the rug and are not to be talked about. I didn't realize the amount of 'minor' stuff that was happening on a monthly basis until I started digging around in AFSAS. There is a lot to be learned from reading AND teaching what is in these reports. It can be as simple as telling your crews that incident X happened last week, be sure to check that the pitot covers are removed or whatever. You don't have to go into detail.

    Another great tool is the ASAP program. http://www.safety-masap.com/ Crews should not only be participating in these reports, but reading as well.

    People ship vehicles across the country all the time.

    A few ways to do this. Compare costs and if you don't mind taking leave, drive and fly back, drive. Or go on U-Ship and get some quotes. They have reviews on there so at least you know what you are getting into. Make sure whoever you go with is insured and federally licensed. You can find a lot of companies out there who have a truck with a trailer that can haul 2 or 3 cars, so that can save on costs since they are going to one location.

    You can go to this site http://www.transportreviews.com/directory/reports/pasttwoyears.asp and check out reviews for different companies and get quotes from the ones you want.

    I saw a forty something year old woman walking her chihuahua through the bra last month and wondered WTF was going on.

    Saw the same thing earlier in the year, along with the high-chairs at the chow hall, 150 school kids on the ramp as I was trying to taxi out for a "combat" mission, etc. That was also the same day the sky cop dog was barking at the balloons flying from the stage at the BRA.

    Was at Vance when that tornado went through North Enid a few years ago. We were pretty worried that the Wee Too restaurant didn't make it. Turns out the storm just blew the roof off the convention center and knocked over a few combines instead.

    2 dancers at Juneau exotic club brawl over $1

    Juneau - Two dancers at an exotic club in Juneau have been cited after they allegedly brawled over a dollar bill.

    Dodge County deputies said they were called to Silk Exotic last week to break up a fight. They said it started when a customer tried to give a dollar to one of the dancers but the other dancer took it.

    The sheriff's report says both women began to brawl. They tussled on the floor, punching, slapping and pulling each other's hair. Other dancers and customers separated the two.

    Both women were cited for disorderly conduct.

    I'm proud to say I have been a patron of this fine establishment a time or two.
