February is
National Children’s Dental Health Month.
This year, the Camp Zama Dental Clinic staff
will visit Arnn Elementary School Feb. 25 to Feb. 27
to teach our students on oral health and
conduct dental screening exams.

Students should be coming home
with a permission forms
requesting consent to the dental exam.
Parents please sign and date the form and return it
to the classroom teacher no later than Feb. 20.

Here are some tips to help maintain
healthy dental habits at home for your children.
1. Eating a balanced diet to include milk, cheese
and yogurt.
Anything made with milk is a good source of calcium
which is essential for teeth and bone development.

2. Brushing twice a day and flossing once a day.
Some children might need an adult’s help to brush
those hard to get to places.
Flossing daily prevents plaque build-up between
teeth which cause cavities.

3. Cut down on snacks that are high in sugar and
limit candies and sodas.
4. Routine dentist visits (twice a year) for check-up
and cleanings are the keys to a lifetime of healthy
teeth and gums.

The true test of character comes not
when things go wrong, but when things
are going well.
When thing go wrong, that’s when most
people turn to, or return to God.

But when life is prosperous and no
rainclouds are in sight, it’s all too easy
not to invest time in a deep relationship
with God.
But when the train hits hard, a steady
foundation in the Lord is vital.

For a time, Israel prospered and forgot the
One True God. The nation turned their backs
on the Creator, and they’ve paid
the consequences.
Jeremiah, the prophet was their last hope
of turning things around.

So it be with great, prosperous nations
like the U.S.
Have we become so powerful that pride
has blinded our spirits in a culture
where “anything goes?”

Let’s dig deep into Jeremiah together
and be inspired to live in God’s
demanding love.

“Very well done. Good study length per
chapter. Highly recommend it, as it
closely parallels the times we are living
in today.” – Amazon Review

What a Leader says will not define their character
or success; however, their actions,
what they do, and how they do it will definitely
define their lifelong legacy.
1 December 2014

Approachability: An effective Leader must be
approachable, and demonstrate a sincere
sense of “Welcome”.
When a Leader fails to display an approachable
attitude and demeanor,
they will miss the opportunity to Lead.
1 December 2014

Competency: An effective Leader must be
competent, and demonstrate confidence
and passion, not just in doing their job,
but in dealing with People.
1 December 2014

Communication: An effective Leader must also
be an effective communicator, from an active
listener’s perspective.
When a Leader fails to demonstrate positive
communication skills, they will miss the
opportunity to engage the workforce and Lead.
1 December 2014

Character: An effective Leader must have
values and sound character, and demonstrate
unquestionable Ethics,
with zero tolerance for compromise.

Trust is the core ingredient for effective
teamwork, leadership and cooperation,
and will promote
creativity from all team members.
1 December 2014

Effective and positive work environments
are built on “Trust, Respect, Commitment,
Accountability and Professionalism”.
1 December 2014

Commitment can be gained by providing positive
reinforcement to each member of the team,
because commitment must be an individual
commitment before it can become
a team commitment.
1 December 2014

Commitment and Teamwork must be
synchronized to the point that each team member
feels that all team members will complete their
part of the process and are actively engage
in the success of the mission.
1 December 2014

Accountability is a decisive factor to be
an effective leader.
Leadership and leaders are measured by
accountability and accountability is a condition
for getting the job done.
1 December 2014

Without Accountability, leaders will not have
the trust or the respect of the workforce
or senior leaders.
Accountability varies at different levels.
But the consequences of accountability are
constant and emphasize commitment and trust.
1 December 2014

Team Success is measured by individual
accountability, and when one of
the team members failed to be accountable
the success of the mission will be compromised.
Lack of Commitment and Lack of Trust are
key factors in the lack of accountability.
1 December 2014

“Conflict” can be both positive and negative,
but healthy conflict is part of the normal team’s
composition and is needed to help motivate
the team to accomplish the mission.
1 December 2014

Positive Conflict helps creates the harmony
for exchanging ideals and can be beneficial
with establishing the processes to achieve
the projected results.
1 December 2014

Conflict should not be avoided, it should be
embraced and processed.
In most cases, conflict is a natural process of
developing a cohesive team.
1 December 2014

“Inattention to Results” is the adverse affects
from the lack of commitment, accountability
and trust.
Processes must be monitored regularly, and
timely decisions must be made to
correct deficiencies.
1 December 2014

In most cases, overall mission failure is
the results of lack of planning and
the lack of attention to details.
Each mission is based on various processes
and phases.
1 December 2014

Each process is based on a particular outcome,
and each measurement must be
monitored and adjusted for success.
1 December 2014

Effective “Teamwork” will always surpass
the power of an “Individual”.

1 December 2014

priorities.
1 December 2014

Focus on the needs of your employees and/or
team members, because if you do, they will
eventually rise to the top and increase the level
of efficiency and effectiveness of the team.
1 December 2014

personal protective equipment (PPE)
prevents exposure.
Ebola Virus Disease
W h a t Yo u N e e d t o K n o w

Risk of Infection

with Ebola is not dangerous.
Contact with healthy individuals
and most everyday activities do not increase
a person’s risk of becoming infected.
Ebola Virus Disease

Risk of Infection
ƒƒ
Although people can be infected with Ebola virus
and not yet feel sick, they are not contagious
until they have symptoms.
Ebola Virus Disease

Risk of Infection
ƒƒ
By the time a person is very infectious to others,
they are typically very ill and not walking around
or doing normal activities.
Ebola Virus Disease

Vaccines
ƒƒ
No FDA-approved vaccine is currently available
to protect against Ebola virus infection.
The experimental Ebola virus vaccines are so early
in development that safety testing has just started.
Ebola Virus Disease

Vaccines
ƒƒ
The Department of Defense is closely monitoring
the testing of new Ebola virus vaccines
and treatments.
Ebola Virus Disease

Treatment
ƒƒ
Standard treatment for Ebola is supportive care
which is balancing the patient’s fluids
and electrolytes, maintaining their oxygen status
and blood pressure,
and treating them for any complicating infections.
Ebola Virus Disease

Treatment
ƒƒ
Successful recovery from an Ebola virus infection
likely depends more on early recognition
and treatment with supportive care
at a state-of-the-art hospital
than on the experimental treatment now available.

Units located on
U.S. Army Garrison Japan Honshu installations
must coordinate with
the Hazardous Material Control Center
at Sagami General Depot
when purchasing hazardous materials.

Please procure recycled, bio-based or
environmentally preferable materials
when they are available in a timely manner,
they meet your unit’s performance standards
and are reasonably priced.

U.S. military personnel and facilities, both at home and
abroad, remain potential targets for those who wish to do
them harm.
Throughout our history, the U.S. Army has tackled the
toughest challenges.
If you see something, say something.

Adversarial forces adapt their tactics to avoid strength,
exploit weakness, and demonstrate their capability to attack
at the time and place of their choosing.
Individual awareness of suspicious activities is a key element
in the identification of potential threatening actions.

Criminal assault methods have evolved over the past century
to a present-day "insider" threat possibility.
Suspicious activity reporting is a fundamental element of the
programs in place to keep both the U.S. Army Japan and U.S.
Army Garrison Japan communities safe.

From deploying units around the area of responsibility to
Corps of Engineers projects throughout Japan, every activity,
every mission and every operation will have situational
awareness.

Both the iWATCH Army and iSALUTE reporting programs are
community tools in our arsenal against threats to force
protection.

We know our missions, our operations and our
responsibilities.
Report suspicious activities to your local Military Police or
ATO by calling: 263-3002 or 911 and or off post 046-407-3002
or 046-407-911
