Award Criteria?

1st award:  Maintain safety currency for 1 year and ...

I was going to make a snarky remark about taking x number of irrelevant online safety courses, but I'll leave that to others.   >:D

Make it a real challenge!

1) Entire Active Squadron Maintains Safety Currency for Entire Year
2) Completes Annual ORM on time.
3) "Volunteer for Safety SUI"
4) Completes Annual Safety Survey and Corrective Actions on Time
5) Create and share Squadron Safety Training Video
6) Any and all safety incidents are input on time, investigated, and compete as far as a squadron can go.

How's that?

Looks like a list of what a safety officer should be doing anyway.


If a safety officer is performing exceptionally well in his or her job, I think a personal decoration (achievement award, commander's commendation, MSM, etc.) is very appropriate to recognize those contributions.


Additionally, if you create a medal/ribbon to recognize contributions in a specific specialty area, you're simply opening the door for every single specialty track to have some sort of excellence medal.


Finally, the specialty track luckily already has a way to recognize members who put in time, effort, and demonstrate ability in the track: a specialty track badge in basic, senior, and master levels.

That is why it is fictional and was just for fun. It was not an individual award but would be for the whole squadron to qualify for. Every active member would have to qualify for the squadron to benefit. But it was only a bit of fun. I know how the folks are when you mention any new bling  :)
