Checklists, technical orders, and Air Force instructions were written for a very important purpose -- for the safe conduct of operations. Remain vigilant and let's keep 'em flyin' safely.

Conducting weapons tasks during the summer significantly increases mishap potentials. When you get over exposed to the elements, the sun has a tendency to drain energy. This can cause personnel to loose focus and become complacent, possibly causing a MISHAP Be aware of changes in your performance--this is the first step in helping you focus on the task at hand.
