Safety Stand Downs

Sorry, I have a Safety Stand Down on the 14th; it should be interesting from all the crap corporate has implemented in the last 6 months. These are people who only know that they get free drinks in First Class, what the F*%^ do they know about building a war fighting P3?
Sorry, just a little bitter tonight.

Nah. No need for a stand down. We're working through the 5th.
i played golf and then started drinking. should be fine 
No sign of Bruce Dickinson at my SSD (maybe next time), but we did learn that having someone repeatedly lick a 9V battery is fun and educational.
(I think we were learning that the process of going from licking windows to licking toads needs to follow a phased, stair-step progression.)

In my first month at my new (civilian) job, I don't think that I've ever seen a better safety oriented environment. The people who work for me don't even have to be told to do things the right/safe way, even though we brief safety before the start of every shift. Everything, regardless of how minor, gets reported immediately, and investigated/reported to 'higher' within 24 hours in a ridiculously simple format. Changes, that are relatively simple are done immediately, so long as they don't affect the cleanrooms' integrity. Major changes are worked into the schedule with no bitching from anyone, but do take a bit longer. They actually get done, though, and without the "OH SHIT, [insert inspecting entity]'S COMING," pressure.
It kind of makes me wonder WTF we were doing wrong in the Gun Club...

Oh, we all know what we're doing, and why we're doing it. The problem is, by the time we're at a point where we can actually change things, we've become institutionalized.
A good story about a SSD from today? It was 45 minutes.
I hate you so very, very much.
That was one of the better SSD's I've been to. Relatively short and with pertinent information.
Even the little Q&A part didn't have any terribly bad questions and some people actual made good points.
I don't think I even got told once that I shouldn't drink and drive...

We didn't have a safety standdown at EWTGLANT, so I drove a 29 ft mobile home, towing a motorcycle trailer up to MD to demonstrate how safe I could be without one. Then I sliced my finger open with a knife trying to open modern day hermetically sealed packaging, and DIDN'T go to the emergency room...

Agreed. One of the better I've ones I've been ordered to. The AMSO's fatigue and flight equipment briefs were good info (particularly the FE brief - that stuff is no joke. After API, you're on your own WRT your survival equipment...except for the obligatory "CSEL for Dummies class" you'll get periodically...and which will not be attended by more than 5% of the squadron...)
I, too, liked that we didn't get the usual, "Alcohol is bad, m'kay? And if you drink alcohol, you're bad...m'kay?" brief. Still, I'll reserve my thoughts on check-in-the-box SSD's, and just file them away with the promotion, retention, etc. gripes. It'll give me something to raise a pint to when I retire.
Did you discuss this with your chain of command? Did you complete a HARP form? Did you have your chain of command inspect your vehicle(s)?
Oh wait...nevermind...
