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.
Hair and fingernails aren't actually growing. Dead is dead. The only things growing after you're dead are worms, bacteria, and flowers. What is happening, however, is that the skin around the hair and fingernails will desiccate (i.e., lose water) and thereby shrink. When the skin shrinks, it retracts, making hair and fingernails look longer, as if they'd grown. Think of it this way: a fifty foot tree grows in ten feet of swamp water. The visible part of the tree is 40' tall. A few months later, a drought causes the water level to drop five feet.
