8/28/2013 - ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The Air Force's chief of safety wants young people to sign up for the 2014 Airman-to-Airman Safety Advisory Council.
Established in 2009, the council evaluates and seeks better ways to
communicate safety efforts within the high-risk 17-26-year age group.
Officers and enlisted Airmen in that age group share personal accounts
of mishap experiences at their home station safety briefings. They
advise Air Force safety officials on peer-to-peer communication, and
they provide an additional tool in the Air Force's mishap prevention and
reduction program.
Since reservists tend to be older, they can be up to age 30 to be considered for the council.
Members serve one-year term with the option of a second year based on
their availability and commander input. Selectees participate in video
teleconferences and in Air Force-wide public service announcements and
discussions on communication strategies.
Nominations must consist of a letter of endorsement signed by the person's unit commander.
There is no specific formation for the recommendation letter, but it
should clearly state what experiences or qualities make the person a
good candidate. Young Airmen who have a compelling personal safety
mishap experience and wish to help others learn from their mistakes are
eligible.
Interested reservists should e-mail their recommendation to Rich Burns,
Air Force Reserve Command's chief of ground safety programs at
richard.burns.1@us.af.mil. Airmen looking for more information can
e-mail him or call him at DSN 497-2134.
