A Note from the Group III Safety Officer on Summer
If you have visited the Wing web site, you have been reminded that this weekend presents safety hazards for those traveling on highways ,on the water, & in the air. Alcohol will be responsible for many injuries and fatalities over the three day Memorial Day Holiday! Be responsible and have a sober driver if you or others at the event drink. Approach auto travel as you would an air flight. Perform a pre trip inspection of your vehicle including checking the air in the spare! Assess driver condition, mentally and physically, if you are fatigued, rest before driving.Pass these thoughts on to your squadrons. We were also reminded by the National commander for Cadets that this weekend begins the critical 101 days of summer. With increased outdoor activity in the air, ground and on water, our use of common sense and conscious risk assessment and management will increase the likelihood of enjoyable safe activities.Think Safety in all you do!
