917 Wing Airman proves catch-and-release sport fishing works

Jeff Walston, a public affairs technician with the 917th Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., holds a bass he caught at a Shreveport lake Sept. 17, 2010. Walston has been practicing catch-and-release fishing for most of his life, thanks to lessons learned more than 40 years ago from his grandfather. But, he could never say he’d ever caught a fish again, after he had personally released it, until now. As it turns out, he had caught this same fish two days before. (Courtesy photo)

Safety can be fun

Jason Cohee, (left) an aircraft structural repair technician for the 917th Maintenance Squadron at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., receives a safety recognition award from Harry Bauer, 917th Wing, ground safety chief, for being the first to complete a crossword puzzle about Material Safety Data Sheets. The 917th Wing safety office recently implemented a campaign to promote on and off duty safety awareness. This is accomplished by the use of positive reinforcement topics selected concerning safety issues including Confined Spaces, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Hazardous Energy Control (LOTO-Lockout/Tagout). The topics are forwarded to unit commanders and unit safety representatives for distribution. Responses can be submitted by 917 Wing and 307th Red Horse Squadron personnel (except for safety representatives) to the 917 Wing Safety Office. (U.S. Air Force illustration/Master Sgt. John Day)

Safety doesn’t end with seasons

Although the 101 Critical Days of Summer have officially ended, Mother Nature seems to be dragging the campaign out just a bit longer. Rod Glass gets in a little extra skiing time on the Red River in the Shreveport/Bossier City, La., area, Sept. 16, 2010. With the end of the summer season rapidly approaching, a group of 917th Wing co-workers decided to hit the river for an after-work, stress-relieving adventure. Summer officially ends Wednesday, September 23, at 3:09a.m., and Airmen at the 917th will soon have to find new ways to relieve stress, while keeping an eye on their fellow wingmen and maintaining the safety frame of mind. The Shreveport/Bossier City area offers numerous safe year round activities, although it may take a quick search to find a specific one to enjoy. There are numerous internet sites that can help all of our Airmen find the fun side of Louisiana. (Courtesy photo by Jeff Walston)
