 Welcome to a new week of the rundown. On this episode, President Trump signs the 2018 Defense Authorization Act, tips for being safe and sober this holiday season, and stress production techniques for high stress operations. Military personnel will soon see a 2.4% pay raise due to the fiscal year 2018 Defense Authorization Act signed by President Trump into law last week. The app calls for $626 billion for the department's base budget and another $66 billion for operations. Check out the story on Navy.mil for more information on the Defense Authorization Act. It's important to remember to practice safety throughout the holiday season and into the new year. This includes being mindful of risks associated with drinking and driving, texting while driving, sexual assault, and mishaps. The Naval Safety Center released their fall and winter safety brief addressing these issues and how you can stay safe this winter. The brief covers fighting fatigue when on the road, alcohol awareness, seasonal depression, methods for preventing sexual assault, and more. You can view and download the brief on the Naval Safety Center homepage, find it by clicking fall winter safety presentation under updates and new items. Many service members work long hours in tough conditions which can be stressful. These stressful conditions can cause mental and physical strain that can lead to health concerns if not resolved over time. A blog on NAF stress addresses these issues and provides stress reduction techniques for those in high stress operations. The blog looks at the effect of stress on sailors and how stress inoculation training can help you stay focused and effective during critical times. Stress reduction techniques include exercising regularly, eating healthy, getting good sleep, and staying connected with family and friends.
