Airman's Roll Call: 101 Critical Days of Summer

  • Published
SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  This week's Airman's Roll Call focuses on the need for Airmen to be aware of risks and opportunities for reckless behavior during the 101 Critical Days of Summer.

By focusing on safety, however, mishaps and fatalities can be avoided. Airmen should be aware of the risks and consequences associated with dangerous behavior.

Understanding high-risk behavior and taking steps to reduce the chances of mishaps, injuries and fatalities saves lives. Sadly, the Air Force lost 19 Airmen last summer, two more than the previous year. The majority of those losses were from vehicle mishaps -- eight were in four-wheel vehicles and seven were in motorcycle mishaps. Incidentally, the factors involved in these mishaps included speeding, alcohol and not using seat belts -- all risks that are easily correctable.
