Ride on base, follow course

The 911th Airlift Wing Safety Office hosts a motorcycle safety course, here, June 29, 2012. This event is open to military and civilian base personnel, but also to family members who operate a motorcycle. Beginner and experienced motorcyclists learn about the proper foot-and clothing wear, the requirements of their helmet, goggles and face shield, and the necessity of a reflective safety vest, but it also stresses the importance of maintaining nonstop alertness due to the rider’s vulnerability within traffic. This class is mandatory for all motorcycle operators who plan to ride their bike on base. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Justyne Obeldobel/Released)

Water safety base wide

Ken Teets, a civilian contractor for Civil Engineering, runs a routine unidirectional water flush on the fire hydrant between the transportation and headquarters building at the 911th Airlift Wing, June 27, 2012. By utilizing this flush technique, Teets checks the water pressure of the fire hydrants and washes the sediment and dirt out of the pipes simultaneously. These routine inspections play a vital part in base safety in case of a fire or smoke emergency. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Justyne Obeldobel/Released)
