 Marches Brain Injury Awareness Month and a chance for the Navy to think ahead this year's theme. More than 80% of traumatic brain injuries in the Navy are not deployment or combat related. Most of these injuries occurred during training and non-duty related events like recreational sports and exercise. When injuries are not identified, the affected individual, family and command can all be impacted. A head injury that isn't properly treated could leave you susceptible to further injury and could cause stress to your family and a loss of manning for your command. For new injuries, get evaluated by a qualified provider or go to an emergency room. For education or individualized treatment, see your primary care manager. For more information, you can visit the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center website.
