[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Naval aviation FOD-prevention efforts include: Daily flight line or deck FOD walk downs, monthly or quarterly air station base-wide FOD walk-downs, tool-control programs, fastener awareness/integrity programs, piece-part-and-rag accountability programs, clean-bird inspections, FOD squads, vacuum and sweeper trucks, and some commands and stations have purchased the FOD BOSS.
