Fire Prevention Week: Update smoke alarms From NAS Key West Public Affairs
Oct. 7 1975 - President Gerald Ford signs Public Law 94-106, allowing admission of women into service academies.
Oct. 8 1960 - The third USS Constellation (CVA 64) is launched. In 1975, she is reclassified as a multi-purpose aircraft carrier (CV 64).
Oct. 9 1945 - Typhoon Louise hits Okinawa, sinking 12 ships, grounding 222 and damaging 32 beyond repair.
Oct. 10 1845 - The Naval School, now known as the Naval Academy, opens in Annapolis, Maryland, with 50 midshipmen.
Oct. 11 2014 - USS America (LHA 6) is commissioned at San Francisco, California. The first ship of its class (LHA 6) is the Navy’s next-generation of big deck amphibious ships.
W
hen it comes to smoke alarms, it’s about making sure they are working. The key message of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, which begins Sunday and runs through Oct. 15, is that smoke alarms older than 10 years old should be replaced. The National Fire Protection Association announced “Don’t Wait: Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years” as the official theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign. The focus on smoke alarm replacement comes as the result of a recent survey conducted by NFPA, which showed that only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are or how often they need to be replaced. The National Fire Alarm Code requires smoke alarms be replaced at least every 10 years; yet because the public is generally unaware of this requirement many homes likely have smoke alarms past their expiration date, putting people at increased risk in the event of a home fire. “Smoke alarms play an essen-
tial role in home fire safety, but they have to be working properly in order to protect people,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of NFPA’s Outreach and Advocacy division. “This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign represents the final year of a three-year effort to better educate the public about the importance of smoke alarms, and what it takes to make sure they’re in working order.” According to an NFPA report, 20 percent of all U.S. homes with smoke alarms, the smoke alarms aren’t working; three of five home-fire deaths result from fires in properties without smoke alarms (38 percent) or with no working smoke alarms (21 percent). “People tend to assume that simply having smoke alarms in their home ensures adequate protection from fires, but it takes regular testing and maintenance to ensure that that’s the case,” said Carli. “Part of that effort is making sure you know how old the smoke alarms in your home are, and that they’re replaced every 10 years.” Carli noted the age of a smoke alarm can be determined by looking for the date of manufacture on the back or side of the
alarm, and to replace the units 10 years from that date. The importance of a working smoke alarm can’t be understated: Half of home fire deaths occur between 11 p.m. - 7 a.m., when most people are asleep. “You should also have an escape plan,” noted Naval Air Station Key West Fire and Emergency Services Chief Curt Krieger. “Sit down with your family and have a fire escape plan that includes getting out of the house and meeting outside in a designated area,” Krieger noted. “It’s important that your family - especially your kids - know what to do before a fire occurs,” he said. Families should review and practice the plan every month, he added. Another important tip: Keep the fire department telephone number written and/or programmed on the telephone. On NAS Key West, the emergency phone number is 9-911. In Key West, call 911. NAS Key West FES firefighters will have demonstrations and information at the annual Fall Festival and Fire Safety Fair, which has been rescheduled for 4 - 7 p.m. Thursday at Sigsbee Field.

PO3 Charles Kelly
ollowing the completion of its review earlier this year, the Navy announced it will modernize all rating titles for Sailors with the establishment of a new classification system that will move towards occupational specialty codes similar to how the other services categorize skill sets. “In modernizing our enlisted rating system we are not only giving our Sailors increased opportunities within the Navy, such as a higher level of flexibility in training and detailing, but also increasing their
opportunities when they transition out of the service. In aligning the descriptions of the work our Sailors do with their counterparts in the civilian world, we more closely reflect the nation we protect while also making it easier for our Sailors to obtain the credentials they’ll need to be successful in the private sector,” said Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus. Chief of Personnel Vice Adm. Robert Burke emphasized, “We believe that opening enlisted career paths will enhance our ability to optimize talent in our enlisted workforce. This change is the first step of a multi-phased approach to
help us do just that.” Former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Michael Stevens led the review earlier this year for the Secretary of the Navy on behalf of Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. John Richardson. “We are all Sailors and changing our rating titles does not affect that,” said current Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, Steven Giordano. “While we certainly understand that this represents a significant cultural shift for the Navy and will take time to become fully adapted throughout the Fleet, this is about giving Sailors more choice and flexibility and ultimately
providing the Navy opportunities to get the right Sailors with the right training and experience in the right billets.” Giordano described how this change will work. “Sailors would no longer be called, ‘yeoman second class’ or YN2, for example,” he said. “Instead they will be ‘second class petty officer, or ‘petty officer.’ However, Sailors’ rates will not change: an E-7 will remain a Chief Petty Officer and an E-3 will remain a seaman. Additionally, there will no longer be a distinction between ‘airman, fireman and seaman.’” see navy page 5

Women’s health month stresses prevention From Naval Hospital Jacksonville
T
he top five leading causes of death for U.S. women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke, and Alzheimer ’s disease. Women comprise more than 27 percent of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps personnel, making women’s health essential to force readiness. “Prevention is always the best policy when it comes to your health,” said Capt. Elizabeth Adriano, Naval Hospital Jacksonville director for surgical services. “Be proactive about any health concerns you have, and take advantage of preventive services such as regular Pap tests, mammograms, and colonoscopies.” Risk factors for heart disease, which is the number one killer of women, include diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking and excessive alcohol use. Women should know their

risk and work with their primary care manager to reduce those risks. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer behind skin cancer - among women in the U.S. However, breast cancer is on the decline because of increased awareness, screenings, and improved treatment. Starting at age 40, women should talk with their PCM about when to start and how often to get a mammogram. Women age 40 and up do have the choice to get an annual mammogram. Women should get Pap tests starting at age 21, regardless of sexual activity, and continue every three years through age 65, at which point the PCM might recommend stopping as long as previous results didn’t show precancerous changes. Pap tests can be done at well-woman exams. Almost all cervical cancers are caused by human papillomavirus, according to CDC. Factors that increase risk are smoking, using birth control pills for five or more years or multiple sex partners.

tive care than cancer screenings. At regular check-ups, the PCM conducts a physical exam, documents health habits and history, discusses recommended screenings and immunizations, and provides education and counselling to help patients make informed health decisions. Here are some important steps women can take to help live a healthy life: • Quit smoking. • Eat fruits and vegetables. Go to www. ChooseMyPlate.gov to see what’s recommended based on age, activity level, and health. • Each week, get two and a half hours of moderateintensity aerobic activity and muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week. • Maintain a healthy weight. • Limit alcohol use. • Get seven to eight hours of quality sleep per night. • Take time to relax. • Take charge of your sexual health; value who you are and decide what’s right for you. • Regularly see your PMC.
• Get screenings and immunizations, such as pap tests, mammograms, and all three HPV shots, as recommended by your PMC. Some life events can bring added stress with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Manage stress with self-care and social support; and talk to a health care provider when needed. Avoid drugs and alcohol, stay active, stay social connected, and seek out support.

Advocates, programs available to help abuse victims From Military OneSource
D
eciding whether to report domestic abuse can be difficult. Victims of domestic abuse may feel confused, alone or afraid to get help. If your partner is abusive, knowing your reporting options may help you decide what’s best for you and your family. The DOD is committed to addressing and ending domestic abuse. Except in select circumstances, victims have the option of making either a restricted or an unrestricted report of domestic abuse. Both options allow access to personal help and support, also known as victim advocacy services. Victim advocates can support victims of domestic abuse by providing help with safety plans; information on helping resources and referrals, information
about military and civilian protective orders, and accompaniment to meetings, medical and court appointments For restricted reporting, contact a domestic abuse victim advocate to discuss your options. The Military OneSource consultant can be reached at (800) 342-9647 or the National Domestic Violence Hotline, (800) 799-7233. At Naval Air Station Key West, call Fleet and Family Center’s Family Advocacy Program, (305) 293-4411, or in Key West, call the Domestic Abuse Shelter, (305)292-6447 Knowledge is power, and confidential information and support can help you decide how to proceed. You may contact the Family Advocacy Program counselor or victim advocate, or military health care provider at Navy Branch Health Clinic Key West to request
a restricted report. Making a restricted report means: • No law enforcement notification. • No command involvement • Access to medical care, counseling and support. • Victim advocacy services • Time to evaluate your relationship choices. • Control over what and how much information to share with others. Because victim safety is a priority, if you are in immediate risk of serious harm, you cannot use the restricted reporting option. The restricted reporting option does not apply to child abuse cases. Know the signs of abuse and get the facts. If, and when, you’re ready to make an unrestricted report to law enforcement, you may contact the FFSC’s Family Advocacy Program, the Security Department or
your chain of command. Making an unrestricted report provides you with: • Law enforcement investigation of an abuse incident. • Command notification and potential administrative action against the offender. • Support and protection from the command. • Victim advocacy services • Information on legal rights. • Assistance in applying for transitional compensation, if applicable. In an abusive relationship, deciding what to do is rarely easy. But, knowing your options is the first step to ending abuse and creating a safer and happier life. Editor’s note: This is one article in a series from Military OneSource, printed in conjunction with October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
