 Welcome to a new week of the rundown. On this episode, a program that shares the story of sailors with millions of Americans. The Navy launched a program to help you with your taxes and how to help lessen the chances of you and others getting sick. The Navy launched a program designed to better help Americans understand the role of the Navy, its mission, and contributions to national security. It's called American Connections Media Outreach Program. Since the program launched, more than 9,400 stories, photos, and other content have been shared with newspapers, TV, radio stations, and blogs, reaching over 180 million Americans. The program replaced and modernized the Legacy Fleet hometown news program by making it easier to share sailor stories to the public. Commands are encouraged to send stories and photos to navyoutreachatnavy.mil. Find more information in the story or visit outreach.navy.mil. The Navy now has a program designed to help you file your taxes as we approach tax season. The program is called Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, or VITA. VITA pairs individuals or families with trained volunteers and tax software called Mill Tax. Together, the program will help sailors understand how to file their taxes so they can quickly receive a refund. The program is free and is available to all sailors through the Naval Legal Service Command. You can get started by visiting a VITA tax center near you. Find one by visiting military one source at the website below. No one likes getting sick, but sometimes it's out of our control. A story from Naval Hospital Jacksonville provides information on the cold, flu, and influenza and how to best prevent getting sick and spreading it to others. The flu has been reported in every state across the continental U.S. according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you are sick, it's important to get rest and drink plenty of water. To reduce the risk of getting sick, wash your hands often with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, and simply stay away from people who are sick. Read the story on Navy Dot Mill for more tips on how to protect yourself and others. That's all for this week. For any questions, you can send us a message at usnpeople.fctandnavy.mil. For the Chief Naval Personnel, I'm MC2 L.J. Burleson. Thanks for watching.
