AS Key West Homes recently announced that a limited number of on-post family homes will now be available for rent by military retirees, DOD employees, contractors, single service members and the general public.
About 20 residences, all three-bedroom units in the Sigsbee Park neighborhood, are currently available to the new resident category. Inventory, however, will fluctuate based on the demands of active-duty service members, who have first priority for all family housing. “With military downsiz-
ing and other market conditions, there has been a decrease in occupancy for certain home styles and neighborhoods within family housing at NAS Key West,” said Arlen, Dieguez, community manager for NAS Key West Homes. “If homes are not being filled by active-duty personnel, we offer opportunities
for other eligible renters who pass our screening process to live in one these homes. Occupied homes make for a more vibrant community and also ensure adequate funding is in place to sustain ongoing renovations to the property, as well as new homes and amenities for our residents” added Dieguez.
The advantages of living on-post are many. Most utilities are included in monthly rental and there are no hook-up fees. Curbside trash pick-up, recycle pickup and water-usage charges are also included in the monthly rent. Additionally, all upkeep and regular yard see housing page 3
Break down barriers to prevent suicide
Green turtle hatchlings surprise staff
From Navy NavStress
By Jolene Scholl
uicide Prevention Month is not about momentary engagement; it’s about everyday action. In 2015, “1 Small ACT” became the central message of Navy Suicide Prevention Branch’s “Every Sailor, Every Day” campaign, encouraging all members of the Navy community to use common interactions as opportunities to make a difference. A simple act of kindness can shine a light in the darkness, and offer hope; whether we know it or not. Over the past two years,

t’s easy to fall into the trap of just sticking with tasks that fall within our comfort zone. No one likes to feel uneasy or uncomfortable. It’s also normal to want to do things that come easy to us naturally. Most people don’t tend to migrate toward undertakings that are hard for them. This week I want to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and do something hard. Let’s look at five categories of doing hard things. First, do something that takes you out of your comfort zone. It may be uncomfortable at first but can be very rewarding in the end. When we constantly stay in our comfort zones we are running the risk of setting psychological barriers that can lead to real limitations. Second, do something that goes beyond what is expected.
It is easy to just do the minimum. Go beyond that and do more than what was expected of you. It really shows others that you care when CHAPLAIN'S you go above and CORNER beyond. Third, do something that is too big for you to do alone. When you share a vision or collabNAS Key West orate with others Command Chaplain it shows signs of Lt. Cmdr. leadership. Scott Mason The fourth category is to do something that doesn’t pay off immediately. Our society has become the microwave generation where we want everything and we want it right now. I will be honest with you: I would prefer a hot meal in which the cook has taken the time to prepare the meal carefully over a meal prepared in the microwave. Looking for shortcuts only builds
weak and unstable foundations. It takes time and effort to achieve anything worthwhile in life. The fifth category is do things that go against the crowd. Albert Einstein was quoted as saying, “The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before.” Following the crowd can limit you and hold you back from possible success. It kills your creativity and limits your capabilities. Please come and join us on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. for worship services. This Sunday, services will be at Truman Annex Chapel. Please visit our Facebook page (Truman Chapel) for upcoming events. If you are in need of chaplain care, call your chaplains at 305293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or 305-292-8788, Coast Guard Sector Key West.

aval Air Station Key West completed the annual Feds Feed Families campaign with donations and cash contributions equal to 3,921 pounds of food for local pantries. The 9th annual campaign, which started June 1 and ended Thursday, encouraged DOD employees nationwide to contribute non-perishable food items and cash to support the “Feds Unite Against Hunger” effort. NAS Key West Sailors, led by AZ1 Kevin Pinkard, volunteered to set up donation boxes, collect food and deliver donations to

and home maintenance is provided, including 24-hour emergency services. Security for on-post housing is provided by military police. Other amenities include playgrounds, outdoor pavilions, sports courts, a splash park and a dog park. As far as new resident screening and security is concerned, interested applicants must qualify through the Community Management office, successfully completing comprehensive credit, criminal and background checks. Monthly rental rates for non-active duty are based on market rental rates and the specific home style.
NAS Key West Homes now joins the ranks of many other military installations around the country that are already leasing family homes to military retirees and other resident classes. “The ability to live on post at NAS Key West Homes is a truly unique opportunity,” Dieguez said. “We look forward to welcoming new residents to our community.” Families interested in moving into NAS Key West Homes can ask for information from the NAS Key West Homes leasing office at 844-912-1759 or online at naskeywesthomes. com. Applicants from the newly eligible category will be required to pass installation background checks and meet credit and income requirements.

Four Green sea turtles hatchlings, shown above left, were among nine found alive in a nest excavated Aug. 24 on Truman Annex beach, right photo. Environmental Division staff wait 72 hours after a nest has it emergence and then excavate it to determine how many eggs were laid and how many turtles hatched. Typically those that remain buried don’t survive for long.

lier, said Natural Resources Officer Matt Martin. “Seventy-two hours after the first emergence the state (Florida Department of Environmental Protection) wants you to go back and excavate the nest.” Typically that is done to gather an estimate on how many eggs were laid,
how many hatched and how many hatchlings survived emergence. “In the process of excavating, I started finding hatchlings and they were very energetic,” Martin added. In addition to the nine active hatchlings, the staff found three undeveloped eggs, two hatchlings that didn’t survive emergence and an undeveloped embryo. The team did count 106 eggs that had hatched.
“That’s an amazing success percentage,” he said. Normally, the hatchlings would be released the same day under the cover of darkness, he said, but the seas were particularly rough that day and were expected to stay that way for a number of days. Martin instead drove the hatchlings to the Turtle Hospital in Marathon, where they could be hydrated and given nutrients
before being released. Hospital officials said the hatchlings would be kept for three - four weeks and then released into the Gulf Stream. Two other nests have been found on Truman Annex and are being watched, he said. Military and DOD civilian volunteers walk the beach daily to check for nests and hatchlings. Turtle nesting season began May 1 and ends Oct. 31.

Butterflies count on base From NAS Key West Public Affairs
N
aval Air Station Key West’s Environmental Division keeps an eye on a variety of endangered and protected species that make Boca Chica Field home. This year, however, is the first time the natural resources officer has been asked to participate in the annual North American Butterfly Association count. The NABA count circles measure 15 miles in diameter; the center of that circle is on Boca Chica Field just past the end of Shangri-La Avenue near U.S. 1. In 2015 and 2016, the counts were taken outside the base but this year, the NABA representative contacted the installation’s Environmental Division for assistance. “We reached out to your environmental/natural resources folks and they were most accommodating,”
noted Dennis Olle, director of conservation programs for NABA’s Miami Blue Chapter. Natural Resource Officer Matt Martin accompanied the NABA team on their count along Shangri-La Avenue and in other areas around Boca Chica Marina and beyond. In 2015 and 2016, NABA surveyors counted 36 species over the 15-mile area, which includes areas outside the base. This year, a total of 34 species were found, including those observed on the base. The species found on Boca Chica Field were the Great Southern White, Large Orange Sulphur, Cloudless Sulphur, Barred Yellow, Little Yellow, Mallow Scrub-Hairstreak, Eastern Pygmy-Blue, Ceranaus Blue, Gulf Fritillary, Mangrove Buckeye, White Peacock, Common/White CheckeredSkipper and Tropical Checkered-Skipper.
Colorectal cancer screening saves lives From Naval Hospital Jacksonville
S
creening for colon cancer helps save lives. It’s never too early to talk with your primary care manager about colon cancer screening and testing. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer worldwide. Despite a reduction in incidence over the years, it’s still the second leading cancer killer of men and women in the U.S.
Cancer is characterized by an uncontrolled growth of cells beyond their usual boundaries that can invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs. Colorectal cancer screening should begin at age 50 for average-risk people, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. If you have risk factors, like a fist-degree relative with colorectal cancer, you might need to be tested earlier or more often.
Colonoscopy at 10-year intervals is the preferred method for screening. Colonoscopy uses a long, thin, flexible, lighted tube to check for polyps or cancer inside the rectum and the entire colon. It can also be used for treatment, for example, allowing for the removal of benign polyps. Other testing methods are occult blood testing, done yearly); flexible sigmoidoscopy, done every five years; and CT colonography, done every five years.
Test results can take two - four weeks or more. If you have a primary care provider you can schedule an appointment by calling 305-293-4834, or at TRICARE’s Online Patient Portal at www. TRICAREonline.com. For 24/7 clinical advice, call the Nurse Advice Line at 800-TRICARE (800-8742273). For secure email messaging with your care team (for non-urgent issues), register for free at https://mil. RelayHealth.com.

Suicide continued from page 1
the “1 Small ACT” message has encouraged actions to be there for others, accessible self-care practices to promote healthy behaviors, active dialogue about stress and suicide and more. This year, the Navy continues to use “1 Small ACT” to enlist all members of the Navy community in the fight against suicide. With 2017 Navy Suicide Prevention Month September, there are three things Sailors need to know to jumpstart their efforts to be there for Every Sailor, Every Day: September is the launchpad for fiscal year 2018 Navy Suicide Prevention efforts. It’s not just about a 30-day blitz. Starting Friday and throughout FY-18, the “Every Sailor, Every Day” campaign will promote new tools that empower Sailors and their families to better recognize warning signs, start conversations, take the right actions to intervene and practice ongoing
safety. In addition to resources supporting prevention, there are resources to help Sailors recover from psychological or emotional crises, like the Sailor Assistance and Intercept for Life program.
Preventing suicide is an all hands evolution. Communication and partnerships are key. Holistic success starts locally; on Sept. 7 at noon (EST) NavStress will host a webinar to share lessons learned from Navy Suicide Prevention Branch’s annual cross disciplinary case reviews. This webinar is intended for all levels of leadership, SPCs, health promotion coordinators, providers, chaplains and all personnel who have frequent contact with Sailors who may be at increased risk of suicide. To register, visit https://survey.max. gov/933674. Share Sailors’ ideas on
how to be there for “Every Sailor, Every Day” through the 1 Small ACT Photo Gallery. To date, Sailors and their families - including those from Naval Air Station Key West - have contributed over 600 “Small ACT Selfies,” featuring the many ways they are there for others and themselves as individuals. 1 Small ACT signs and details are available at www.suicide.navy. mil > Every Sailor, Every Day > 1 Small ACT Photo Gallery. Navy Suicide Prevention Month is a time to refocus, come together and kick-off sustainable local engagement. When Sailors work together to keep psychological health in open conversation and lead by example when it comes to seeking help and taking care of themselves selves, the barriers can be broken down. It’s not just about preventing suicide; it’s about helping one another live full, productive and meaningful lives. For more information on resources, visit https:// navstress.wordpress. com.
