The Safety Oath "I pledge that I will serve safely in the Civil Air Patrol and that I will attend safety meetings regularly, participate actively in safety activities, obey safety policies, maintain vigilant awareness of safety around aircraft, ground resources and other equipment, and advance my training to prepare myself to conduct Civil Air Patrol policy in an athmosphere of safety."
Yup, makes me all excited about safety right now.I just safely typed that.

We shouldn't have to remind people to be safe."I pledge to serve more safely in the Civil Air Patrol, that I will not stick bling in an electrical outlet...ever again, that when I see a pilot running from his airplane I will follow (or lead if he's slow), that I will memorize the phone number to 911, and that I will never again say, 'hey ya'll, watch this'."
Rather that coming up with another silly pledge, I'd suggest putting that energy into some other effort that is actually meaningful. Although I did get a chuckle out of ddelaney's pledge.
Safety Officers and Commanders have to take the lead to promote a Safety Culture. Members have to embrace that culture as part of their daily lives and routine. Everyone needs to ask a simple question before undertaking any of our tasks. "Is this safe and will I or someone else get hurt?"Attempting to use safety oaths, pledges, and contracts....just don't work that well. Being proactive and embracing a total safety culture and mindset does.

Ever since they nixed the pledge, I started putting my arm into rotating props again.
