So a new trimester is starting in my squadron and I was thinking about being the safety NCO. I know that they help the Squadron Safety Officer prepare safety briefings. But other than that, what do they do?

One of the purposes of Cadet Staff positions is that they work with their Senior Member Leadership.

This question is best directed to your squadron....as each squadron is a little different when it comes to specific duties.

Briefings, plans.. with regard to planning events, activities, the weekly meeting, etc. Helping with, of course. You're not on your own.
.. and be an NCO ;)

...with all that other stuff that comes with being a cadet.

According to CAPR 62-1:

QuoteThe primary role of the cadet safety officer is to study and mentor under the supervision of the unit safety officer. The cadet safety officer will learn the primary functions of the unit safety officer and be given the opportunity to demonstrate skills in safety leadership, education and presentations. Cadet safety officers will provide liaisons between the unit safety officer and cadet command staff. This position is limited to cadets in Phases II through IV. NOTE: Cadet safety officers may be Phase II NCOs at the flight and squadron-level ONLY.

     (1) Cadet safety officers will NOT act as the primary safety officer for a unit at any level and will not be held responsible for tasks that are the primary responsibility of the unit safety officer.

     (2) Cadet safety officers will be responsible for completing appropriate cadet safety officer training.

Cadet Safety Officers/NCOs should also be familiar with the responsibilities of the Unit Safety Officer, and with all of CAPR 62-1, CAPR 62-2 and any applicable wing supplement.

What do the Cadet Safety Officers need to do to get the Safety Badge? Is it anything different then earning the Technician Rating in safety?

The requirements are the same as outlined in CAPP 217, except cadets are assigned to a cadet safety position and cannot receive the Technician Rating.
