Marines must request paternity leave within 25 days after the birth of the baby. If deployed, the commander can approve paternity leave within 90 days of deployment and can authorize it outside that time period for extraordinary circumstances.
An injury to a nail may result in the loss of the nail. As long as the nail bed itself wasn't damaged, a lost nail should eventually grow back. Healthy fingernails grow at a rate of about 0.10mm per day, but toenails are slower, growing at only about one half to one third of a fingernail's rate.
But there's more going on under the surface. Nails start in the nail root, hidden under the cuticle. When cells at the root of the nail grow, the new nail cells push out the old nail cells. These old cells flatten and harden, thanks to keratin, a protein made by these cells.
