DECEMBER: IMPAIRED DRIVING PREVENTION:

In the United States, approximately 28 people die per day in crashes that involve alcohol-impaired drivers.1 Even at levels below the legal limit, alcohol can seriously impair judgment and coordination as well as slow reaction time. Drugged driving is also becoming a serious issue because drugs, even when prescribed by a medical provider, can have similar negative effects to alcohol such as impaired judgment, perception, and motor skills. Approximately 16% of motor vehicle crashes involve drugs (legal and illegal) other than alcohol.2 December brings with it many opportunities for Sailors and Marines to engage in alcohol use and celebration. It only takes one bad decision, impaired driving, to hurt yourself, your family and friends, and your career.

NOVEMBER - TO***CO FREE LIVING

Data shows us that active duty Sailors and Marines use to***co at a higher rate than the adult civilian population for both smoking and smokeless to***co.

In addition, some products such as e-cigarettes, ho**ah, and other novel and emerging products are becoming more popular due to persive marketing, the perception that these products are less harmful than traditional to***co products, unique flavors, and the ability to use the products in some locations where traditional to***co products are not allowed.

October – Women's Health

What's it like being a woman in today's Navy? Challenging, exciting, rewarding... but above all, it's incredibly empowering!!!
The idea that certain jobs are better suited for men, and men alone, is redefined in the Navy. Stereotypes are overridden by determination, by proven capabilities, and by a shared appreciation for work that's driven by hands-on skills and adrenaline. Here, women are definitely in on the action.
This month, NOSC WPB Health Promotions celebrate Women's health by recognizing their significant responsabilities, their well-earned respect, and by offering them a few healthy tips to remind them that without them... we couldn't get the job done!!! We salute you Shipmates!!!
