ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  Air Force Reserve Command received six Air Force Chief of Staff Safety Awards for 2008.

"The Air Force had many safety achievements to be proud of in 2008, including the fewest-ever off-duty vehicle fatalities," said Maj. Gen. Frederick Roggero, Air Force chief of safety, in announcing the awards earlier this spring. "These awards highlight the innovation, dedication and superb performance we see every day."
