Deputy To The Garrison Commander’s Corner
Month of October 2014
“In our active world of communication,
one cannot afford to exclude the art of listening”
(Source: Holden Leadership Center, 2009)

As a leader, you must listen to your constituents
in order to be effective.

You need to listen and correctly understand
all messages from group members.

Active Listening differs from hearing.
Hearing is the act of perceiving audible sounds
with the ear and is a passive act.

Listening, on the other hand, is the active pursuit
of understanding
what the other person is saying and feeling.

In active listening, the receiver tries to understand
what the sender is feeling and
what the message means.

The listener puts his/her understanding
into his/her own words
and feeds it back to the speaker for verification.

It is important to only provide feedback concerning
what the listener feels the speaker's message meant,
nothing more, nothing less.

This creates an atmosphere of acceptance
and understanding in which the speaker can explore
the problem and determine a solution.
To listen actively and to understand is not
a passive or simple activity.

The following are important characteristics
of a “Effective Listener".
Be There Accept
Trust
Be present in heart, mind and spirit with the person.
You need to hear what he/she has to say.
If you don't have the time, or don't want to listen,
wait until you do.

Be There Accept
Trust
Accept the person as she/he is without judgment or
reservation or putting the person in a mental box or
category, even though she/he may be very different
from you.

Be There Accept
Trust
Trust the person's ability to handle his/her own
feelings, work through them, and find solutions
to his/her own problems.

Be There Accept
Trust
(Source: Freddie L. Giddens, DGC, USAG Japan)
Trust is the core ingredient for Effective Teamwork,
Leadership and Cooperation, and will Promote
Creativity from all Team Members.

Listen
Don't plan what you are going to say.
Don't think of how you can interrupt.
Keep Out
of It
Stay With the
Other Person

Listen
Don't think of how to solve the problem, how to
admonish, how to console or what the person
"should" do.
DON'T THINK TO STRUGGLE OR REACT...LISTEN!
Keep Out
of It
Stay With the
Other Person

Listen
Keep yourself removed. Be objective.
Don't intrude physically, verbally, mentally.
Keep Quiet. Listen. It maybe hard to be passive.
Keep Out

Other Person

Listen
Put yourself in the other's shoes.
Don't become that person, but understand what
he/she is feeling, saying and thinking.
Keep Out

enough to help.

ATTENTION

See the Command Channel now
for the latest information
from DPW and MEDDAC.
ATTENTION

2014 summer months have brought
very high humidity levels to this area,
and have enhanced the conditions
for mold growth.

Mold will grow most anyplace
where the conditions are ideal,
such as areas which have moisture,
low lighting,
and moderate temperatures.

Even hidden areas, like closets,
can grow mold if moisture is present.
Keeping your home free of moisture
is the best way to prevent mold growth.

Keep indoor humidity levels
between 30 percent and 50 percent.
(Humidity meters can be purchased
for as little as $10 online)

Do not leave restroom or kitchen
exhaust fans running continuously,
as this can potentially assist
mold growth.

Exhaust fans should only be run
while showering,
during cooking, or to remove odors.

Clean up moisture and condensation immediately.
Use dehumidifiers to further control levels
of humidity in the home.

Keep closet doors open one to two inches
to allow fresh air circulation.
Obtain desiccant dehumidifier packets
from Self Help and place them in closets.

If mold is present in an area of
nine square feet or less:
Scrub rigorously using detergent and water,
or a mixture of 1 cup of bleach
per 1 gallon of water.

Wear a protective mask, gloves,
and eye protection
when cleaning and dry the area
after completion of cleaning.

If mold is present on a larger surface:
Contact DPW Operations and Maintenance
for assistance
in making further determinations of remediation
263-4274 or 263-4613

Please be aware
Many of our quarters and facilities
were constructed at different times over the years,
and Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning Systems
(HVAC’s) of many types were installed.

Please be aware
This will require different types of settings
to ensure the appropriate inside-air conditions
are correct
which will minimize mold conditions.

Please be aware
The Garrison Leadership is aware and all efforts
are being made to develop / revise instructions
which will aide you
in making your quarters comfortable
and provide the best environment possible.

Molds are fungi that can be found
both indoors and outdoors.
No one knows how many species of fungi exist
but estimates range from tens of thousands to perhaps
three hundred thousand or more.
What is Mold?

Molds grow best in warm, damp,
and humid conditions,
and spread and reproduce by making spores.
What is Mold?

Mold spores can survive
harsh environmental conditions,
such as dry conditions,
that do not support normal mold growth.
(Source: www.CDC.gov/mold)
What is Mold?

It is nearly impossible to rid your home of mold spores.
Mold spores travel into homes
through the clothing you wear,
under your shoes, in your hair, and just about
any other conceivable route of entry that exposes
the outdoor environment to a residence.
How do I get rid of Mold spores in my home?

No: Mold requires three key elements to grow,
without one of these elements,
mold cannot grow.
If Mold spores are present, won’t mold grow anyway?

These elements are
moisture (condensation, humidity >60%),
dark/dim areas, and a food source
(generally any organic material such as clothing,
walls, furniture).
If Mold spores are present, won’t mold grow anyway?

No: Generally, it is not necessary to identify
the species of mold growing in a residence,
and neither CDC nor the EPA
recommends routine sampling for molds.
(Source: www.cdc.gov/mold)
I see mold growing, do I need to have it sampled?

There is no “safe” level or standard
that prescribed
a permissible exposure limit for mold.
What regulatory guidance exists for levels of mold?

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration
(OSHA) currently does not have a standard
on indoor air quality or mold.
(Source: www.miami.edu)
What regulatory guidance exists for levels of mold?

Exposure to mold can cause health effects
in some people.
The most common effects are allergic responses
from breathing mold spores.
How can mold affect me and my family?

These allergic responses include hay fever or asthma
and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat or lungs.

People who may be affected more severely and quickly
than others include:
- Infants and children
- Elderly people
- Pregnant women

People who may be affected more severely and quickly
than others include:
- Individuals with respiratory conditions
or allergies and asthma
- Persons with weakened immune systems

Those with special health concerns
should consult their doctor
if they are concerned about mold exposure.

Symptoms that may seem to occur
from mold exposure
may be due to other causes, such as bacterial
or viral infections or other allergies.
(Source: https://www.aiha.org)

Less common effects of mold exposure
include infections and toxic effects.
Serious infections from living molds are
relatively rare and occur mainly in people
with severely suppressed immune systems.

Many types of molds may produce toxins
but only under certain growth conditions.

Toxic effects have been reported
from eating moldy grain,
but evidence is weak that breathing mold spores
in buildings causes toxic effects.
(Source: www.health.ny.gov)

Popular reports about the health effects of mold
are likely to include the term “toxic mold.”
But that term can be misleading,
the experts say.
I hear that mold is “toxic” or “Black Mold” is bad?
What does this mean?

They point out that only certain mold spores
produce toxins,
and only under certain circumstances.
Just because a particular mold
can produce toxins doesn’t mean it will.

Even if the mold is producing toxins,
a person must breathe
in a sufficient dose to be affected.

It is usually associated with Stachybotrys chartarum,
a type of greenish‐black mold commonly associated
with heavy water damage.
Not all molds that appear to be black are Stachybotrys.

The known health effects from exposure to
Stachybotrys are similar to those caused
by other common molds,
and again in high exposure situations (as in agriculture),
are known to be associated with severe health effects
in some people.

Such exposures seldom, if ever, occur in buildings
except during remediation activities
by people not taking appropriate precautions.
(Source: www.Johnshopkinshealthalerts.com
and https://www.aiha.org)

Any extensive indoor mold growth
should be treated
as a potential health concern and removed
as soon as practical no matter
what species of mold is present.
Are some molds more harmful than others?

Identify and correct the source of moisture
so that mold will not grow back.
(Source: www.health.ny.gov)
Are some molds more harmful than others?

Consult a family or general health care provider
who will decide
whether you need referral to a specialist.
I feel sick and I think the Mold is causing it;
what should I do?

Such specialists might include an allergist
who treats patients with mold allergies
or an infectious disease physician
who treats mold infections.
what should I do?

If an infection is in the lungs, a pulmonary physician
might be recommended.
what should I do?

Remember, only a licensed physician
can accurately diagnose signs
and symptoms of potential mold exposures.

Voting is
one of our most fundamental rights
as U.S. citizens.

The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP)
works to ensure Service members,
their eligible Family members and overseas citizens
are aware of their right to vote and
have the tools and resources to successfully do so
- from anywhere in the world.

Elections are managed individually
by 50 States, U.S. territories
(American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands)
and the District of Columbia.

This equates to 55 sets of rules
for absentee voting by Uniformed
and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act
(UOCAVA) citizens,
but the basic steps are simple:

1. Citizens register to vote and request
an absentee ballot by filling out
the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA),
and mailing it to their local election official
in their State of legal residence.

2. The election official approves the FPCA,
disapproves the FPCA or requests
additional clarifying information.

3. Once the FPCA is approved,
the election official sends
an absentee ballot to the citizen.

4. The citizen completes, and returns
their voted ballot to their local election
official by their State's deadline.

To successfully vote absentee,
UOCAVA citizens should:
Allow plenty of time to request, receive,
and return their ballot

Notify their local election official each time
their mailing address changes

Become familiar with their State's absentee
voting deadlines and procedures
to make sure their ballot is
properly executed and will be counted

Complete a Federal Write-In Absentee
Ballot (FWAB) early
if unsure of the time required to return
the ballot to meet the State's deadline

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
