Military service members’February leave and earningstatement (LES) will carrya reminder that as of Oct. 1,any accrued leave morethan 60 days will be lost.Since 2008 Sailors have

been allowed to carryoverup to 75 days of leave eachfiscal year as authorized byCongress. That authoriza-tion will end at the end offiscal year 2015 after whichleave carryover will revertto 60 days. In general, anyleave balance in excess of60 days on Sept. 30, 2015will be lost.Service members’ LES

may have an incorrectuse/lose leave balance. De-fense Finance and Account-ing Services (DFAS) isreprogramming pay sys-tems to account for the re-turn to the 60 day leavecarryover by the June 2015LES.Sailors should check their

LES and talk with theirCommand Pass Coordinator(CPC) for help understand-ing their correct use/losebalance.There are some specific ex-

ceptions. Sailors with moreleave days than the author-ized carryover limit, whoare also assigned to hostilefire or imminent danger payareas or deployed on a shipor mobile unit for at least60 continuous days, mayapply for special leave ac-crual (SLA) to retain anyexcess leave days. This re-quest is typically done atthe command level. Instruc-tions on how to apply forand administer SLA areoutlined in MILPERSMAN1050-070.Sailors are encouraged to

work with their commandsto manage their leave bal-ances throughout FY15.Commands with questions

on leave policies should con-tact their local PersonnelSupport Detachment (PSD)or call the NPC CustomerService Center at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC (1-866-827-5672).

They are questions as old as den-tistry; are baby teeth really that impor-tant? Won’t they just fall out anyway?Do I really need to take care of them?The answers are just as old. Yes they

are important. Yes they will fall outanyway. Yes it is important to takeproper care of them from the very be-ginning.

Baby teeth are as important to chil-dren as permanent teeth are to adults. Adults and children alike need teeth

for proper chewing and nutrition in-take, speech development and to estab-lish self assurance and confidenceevery time we smile. In addition tothose basic functions, baby teeth serveas space savers for permanent teethand help guide them into their properalignment. A baby tooth normally re-

mains in a child’s mouth until a grow-ing permanent tooth is ready to eruptthrough the gums. If a child loses atooth prematurely due to an accident orextraction of a diseased tooth, it willlead to the loss of space and has the po-tential to cause the new permanenttooth to erupt out of alignment or failto erupt completely. Improperly aligned

Naval Support Activity(NSA) Naples Religious Min-istries Team hosted a Na-tional Prayer Breakfast onboard NSA NaplesCapodichino, Feb. 19.The event’s guest speaker

was Capt. James Aiken, com-mander, Task Force 65.Aiken spoke to the attendeesabout the value of character,illustrating his point withexamples from the life ofJesus, personal stories and atouch of humor.

“I am sure many of us haveheard the expression charac-ter counts. It certainly does,but in my journey over thelast number of months Ihave come to view thatphrase a bit differently espe-cially in light of characterdevelopment,” Aiken said atthe podium. “There are noshortcuts in character devel-opment. Relating leads to re-lationships that allow ourexample to be observed;,what are we exemplifying?Coaching serves to prepareand execute; character is not

a destination but a journey -make character count. ”Logistics Specialist 1st

Class Germaine Sokpoh,one of the 30 attendees saidthe commodore’s messagewas “right on point.”“Character builds person-

ality and character buildson endurance. Withoutcharacter you cannot pur-sue your goals, if you’re notdetermined to go after whatyou’re looking for, you won’tbe able to achieve it,” hesaid. “For me and fromwhat the Commodore said,

character is the baseline forevery achievement we havein life.”After Aiken spoke, Lt.

Cmdr. Leroy Young, a Navychaplain, led the attendeesin a prayer for the nation,its leaders, families andmilitary commands.The National Prayer

Breakfast has been in an-nual event held on the firstThursday of February since1953. Since its inception,every sitting American pres-ident has attended theevent.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

HM2 JASON HANCOCKHospital Corpsman 2nd Class Jason Hancock grew up inWestern Kentucky. Shortly after graduating high school, heenlisted in the Navy as Hospital Corpsman and was se-lected for Pharmacy “C” school. Hancock graduated fromPharmacy “C” school with a 95 percent average and se-lected orders to U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH), Okinawa,Japan. Upon reporting, Hancock’s attentiveness to detailwas noticed and he was quickly appointed to inpatientpharmacy, where he took care of the patients admitted tothe hospital. He served three years in Japan rising to thelead inpatient technician, before taking orders to USNHNaples. Upon being assigned to Naples he took on the roleof Inpatient Supervisor & Narcotic technician, where he isresponsible for pharmacy services for patients admitted tothe Multi-Service Ward or patients having surgery atUSNH Naples. On his off-duty time, he enjoys working out,playing ultimate frisbee, being outdoors and, traveling allover Europe. In the year he has been stationed at USHNNaples, Hancock has visited nine countries. 2015 is an im-portance year for HM2 Hancock; he was just married inFebruary, and in September he will be attending Independ-ent Duty Corpsman “C” school in beautiful San Diego.

On Feb. 26, 1944, SueSophia Dauser, Superin-tendent of the Navy’sNurse Corps became thefirst woman in the Navy toreceive the rank of Cap-tain.She was born

Sept. 20, 1888, inAnaheim, Calif.Dauser earned hernursing degree fromCalifornia HospitalSchool of Nursing in 1914,and she remained thereserving as a surgical su-pervisor until 1917.When the UnitedStates entered WorldWar I in April 1917,Dauser joined the navalreserve.By October 1917, Dauser

was on active duty, train-

ing at the Naval Hospitalin San Diego. Shortly afterthat, she was promoted tochief nurse.In August 1918, Dauser

and the nurses in hercharge left for Liverpool,

England. From there, shewent on to Edinburgh,Scotland, where hernurses cared for bothBritish and American

forces. From the end of thewar in 1918 until 1939,Dauser’s assignments tookher to every naval stationon the West Coast, as wellas Guam and the Philip-pines. In addition to serv-ing at shore hospitals, sheserved on several ships,and was at the bedside ofPresident Warren G.Harding when he died inSan Francisco in 1923.In 1939, Dauser was ap-

pointed superintendent ofthe Navy Nurse Corps.Her main charge was toprepare and expand theNavy’s Nurse Corps, forwhat the War Departmentanticipated would be an-other major war loomingon the horizon. She alsohad another more per-sonal mission: to obtainequal rank and privilegesfor Navy nurses, who, al-though being treated as of-ficers, received neither thesame pay nor benefits, asmale officers.At the start of World War

II, the Navy had onlyabout 600 nurses, but bythe end of the war in 1945,the Nurse Corps was11,000 strong. And in1942, Congress authorizedfull officer’s commissionsand equal pay for Navynurses. Both achievementswere a result of Dauser’suntiring and selfless work.On Feb. 26, 1944, Dauser

was promoted to captain.In 1945, Secretaryof the Navy JamesForrestal presented

Dauser with the Dis-tinguished Service

Energy conservation is not a difficult concept to practice. Some-times, if you really want to increases savings, you have to take itone step further than “turning off the lights.” The experts from theBuilding Technologies Office are thinking outside the box for you.This team developed as list of the top eight ways to conserve en-ergy and save money:1. Install a programmable thermostat. You could save an esti-

mated 10 percent per year on heating and cooling costs by adjust-ing the temperature while your home is unoccupied or during sleephours. 2. Use natural sunlight. The sun’s rays can provide heat which

can be beneficial in the winter months. It can also illuminate anyroom, regardless the time of the year.3. Invest in ENERGY STAR appliances. Your home’s appli-

ances and electronics account for close to 20 percent of your energybills. Energy star products use 10-15 percent less energy than theleading brand of appliances.4. Choose energy-saving lighting. Replace all incandescent

bulbs with energy efficient light bulbs to reduce consumption. 5. Power strip for your electronic equipment. Electronic de-

vices typically have a tiny circuit that is always drawing powereven when the device is “off.” By plugging electronic devices into apower strip you can cut power to all the devices all at once with theflip of a switch.6. Reduce energy for water heating. Lower the temperature of

your water heater to 120 degrees and you can also wrap insulatingmaterial around the water heater to prevent loss of heat from thewater tank.7. Replace filters. You should clean the air filters in your heat-

ing and cooling system once a month, and replace them regularly.8. Conduct an Energy Audit. Measure your home’s energy effi-

ciency by having professionals perform an energy audit and makerecommendations for systems and components that could be re-moved, installed or upgraded to increase energy efficiency.

FLEET AND FAMILY SUPPORTCENTER EVENTS THIS WEEK

With the 2014 mid-term election in theirwake, Sailors might be tempted to forgetabout absentee voting and politics in generaluntil 2016.“Not so fast,” said Lt. Whit Abraham, the

Navy Voting Action Officer.Odd-numbered years are historically con-

sidered “off-years” for voting, and draw fewervoters to the polls. So why should Sailorsthink about voting now?Although they often take a back

seat to national races, local elec-tions are just as important. Sailors stationed far from

home have family membersin their hometowns, andmay even intend to residethere permanently at somepoint. Odd-year electionsdrive important communityissues – issues with directconsequences for voters.“2015 marks many statewide

races, mayoral and town elec-tions, and even some special elec-tions for Congress,” said Abraham, whomanages the Navy’s Voting Assistance Pro-gram from Washington, D.C.. “The local offi-cials up for election in 2015 are the ones whoset property tax rates for municipalities andschool districts, they’re the folks who admin-ister police departments and maintain mil-lions of miles of local roads and bridges, andin many states the judges – from stateSupreme Courts down to local district judges– are on the ballot this year as well. So youcan argue that many of these local officehold-ers have more to do with the daily lives ofAmerican citizens day in and day out thanany other elected officials.”As defenders of the right to vote, Sailors are

encouraged to participate. “Absentee votingis easy, but the key is giving the processtime,” said Abraham.A major first step in the process is visiting

the Federal Voting Assistance Program(FVAP) website at http//www.fvap.gov. Here,Sailors can click on their state or territory toget detailed information about registrationguidelines and local elections.Sailors wishing to vote absentee should

complete an electronic Federal Post Card Ap-plications (FPCA) early in 2015. The FPCA

is a registration form, a request for aballot, and the preferred way to

update your address. Filling outand returning the FPCA up-dates local election officialson a member’s absentee sta-tus, and it is especially im-portant if Sailors andspouses have changed dutystations. “An updated FPCA

puts you on the radarscreen,” said Abraham.

“When the time comes to mailballots later this year, election of-

ficials will know how to reach you.”Across the Navy, voting assistance is

administered at the unit level. Voting assis-tance officers are appointed by their com-manding officer and are trained by theFederal Voting Assistance Program. Besidesaccessing the FVAP website, voters canspeak directly to these individuals who standready to assist Sailors and family members.“Democracy is a year-round business, and

so is the Navy Voting Assistance Program.Elections are always happening, and we en-courage people to ask questions and take aproactive stance” said Abraham. “We’re hereto ensure your voice is heard - not just inWashington, but in your local community aswell. That’s what this year is all about.”

SOUND OFF: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NEAPOLITAN PIZZA?

teeth may require expensive and time-consum-ing orthodontic treatment in the future. Forthose reasons, it is very important that babyteeth are kept healthy and in place until theyare lost naturally. Keeping baby teeth healthy starts just days

after birth and will initiate a lifetime ofhealthy oral care. The first care you provide is actually for the

baby’s gums. Start cleaning your baby’s gumsusing water and a soft towel or cloth. As theteeth begin to erupt, start brushing with anage appropriate toothbrush twice a day (afterbreakfast and before bedtime) using a fluori-dated toothpaste that has been approved by theAmerican Dental Association. Look for the ADAseal of approval on the box or tube of the tooth-paste. For children less than 3 years old, use asmall ‘smear’ or ‘rice-size’ amount of tooth-paste. For the 3-5 year old, use no more than a“pea-size” amount. Brush twice a day and rins-ing after brushing should be kept to a mini-mum or eliminated completely. Remember toassist your child because their manual dexter-ity and cognitive understanding are not matureenough to effectively clean their teeth. Goodgage to go by is their ability to tie theirshoelaces. Help with their brushing until thecan confidently tie shoelaces on their own.Another way to promote healthy teeth is to

simply drink fluoridated water.Consuming fluoridated water and using small

amounts of fluoride topically on a routine basiscan help prevent tooth decayby strengthening tooth struc-ture and reducing bacter-ial activity that causescavities. Researchshows that commu-nity water fluorida-tion has lowereddecay rates by morethan 50 percent whichtranslates to fewercavities. Every timeyour child drinksfluoridated water,baby teeth get topicalexposure and perma-nent teeth get fluorideincorporated into thestructure during devel-opment. However unlike many com-

munities in the United States, Italydoes not have fluoridated tap water. If youare purchasing bottle water, chose the onewith fluoride. If not ask your dentist or medicalprovider if fluoride supplements is recom-mended. While beneficial, it is important tonote that too much fluoride can lead to fluoro-sis which can cause staining or pitting of the

teeth. To avoid this, limit fluoride intake todrinking fluoridated water and brushing twicea day with an age appropriate amount of fluori-

dated toothpaste unless otherwise directedby your dentist.

The last key to proper baby teethcare is to watch what you childreneat and drink.

Dietary choices play an impor-tant role in oral health. One

common cavity causing mis-take is to allow children tofall asleep with a bottle ornurse a sippy cup filled with

milk or juice. It is importantto limit prolonged and fre-

quent exposure to simple car-bohydrates, foods that break

down into sugars in themouth. These include

the obvious sugaryfoods, such as cookies,cakes, soft drinks,juice and candy. Both

they also include butnot limited to crackers, milk

and cereals. Offer healthysnack like yogurt, cheese and

fruits, and if a bottle or sippy cup is necessaryto help soothe a child or help them sleep, thehealthy option is water or other sugar-freedrinks.

The Naples area has experienced some unseasonably coldweather this year, and many residents are undoubtedlyusing additional methods to stay warm, such as the use ofspace heaters and fireplaces.The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) notes

that heating equipment is a leading cause of home firedeaths, and that half of home heating equipment fires arereported during the months of December, January, andFebruary. Per the NFPA, here are some simple steps to help prevent

most heating-related fires from happening.• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away

from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, woodstove, or portable space heater.• Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and

space heaters.• Never use your oven to heat your home.• Have a qualified professional install stationary space

heating equipment, water heaters or central heatingequipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’sinstructions.• Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and in-

spected every year by a qualified professional.• Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the

room or going to bed.• Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the man-

ufacturer, for fuel burning space heaters.• Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop

sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be cool be-fore putting them in a metal container.Keep the container a safe distance away from your home.• Test smoke alarms monthly.Should you have any questions about home heating

safety, or other fire safety questions, please contact yourlocal Fire Prevention office; Support Site at 629-4488/4999,or Capodichino at 626-6626.
