Keeping my fingers crossedFollow
DSD, honey, I am sending hugs and good thoughts your way. I know that the waiting is the hardest, and I hope our combined good wishes are of some small comfort.
As for trolling in moments like this, not only is it in ****-poor taste, but it should be easy as hell. Not surprised you fu[b][/b]cked it up, proof.

Definite good thoughts your way. I completely understand where you are coming from, heh.
Regardless, I would bet the families of those involved will hear faster than two weeks. I know from following the situation rather closely that it is fairly close to immediate if the soldier has the correct contact information on his SGLI. It is when the army/marines can't find you that it becomes an issue.
Just got an email from my brother. He says he can't use the phones at the moment, and wasnt sure if the email would go through, but thankfully he's fine. He sounded definitely shook up and didnt give any other info except he was ok. My heart is going out to him and his buddies. They're all very close out there and I've talked with quite a few of them from time to time when my brother does get the chance to call. But I am so glad he's ok.
Thanks for all your well wishes and support guys. He's a good kid.

Wrong, Mikkle. When I made my initial post here, it was a big 'ol gripe about my husband's second deployment. Most responses were sympathetic.
When a soldier is killed in someone's unit, they do what is called "black out" where people can't call out until all families are notified. They don't want rumors to fly. I haven't heard from my husband as usual, and I wonder if something has happened there. It is very hard to follow the news where he is now as opposed to when he was in Baghdad, particularly considering I don't even really know where he is. He just gave me a vague "on the Pakistan border." His location can't be discussed on the phone.
I am glad it turned out to be alright, DSD.

mickle, STFU. I had a friend and was in the same situation. I know how it feels to be blindsighted like that and then have to wait forever to hear if your loved one's brains were blown out.

Most of the Asylum seems to have a middle-class background. Therefore, issues of compassion towards military personnel is something they are surely most familiar with.

Well then here's something you do need to know: when you've got a girl in the doggy style position, put your legs between hers and spread them out. Then, lean her neck down forward, so that her head is almost touching the ground. Then, aim slightly to the right.
Bam. Instant G-spot.

I can assure you that it would never take two weeks for news of an unfortunate incident to get the family members. Each service member designates a primary and secondary Next of Kin who are to be notified in cases of, serious injury, not so serious injury, duty status unknown and death. The military makes sure that the Primary and Secondary NOK are notified with in 24 hours of any event. If you have a loved one who is deployed and has had something happen to his/her unit, and you have not heard from them or militray in 24 hours It's a safe bet that they are ok and doing fine.
As I Havent had to be in the situation before, I am unfamiliar with how things work communication wise. All I can go by is what my other told me, hence where the time limit came from. It's good to know thats false for the future. Thanks to you guys who sent me pms and gave me information in this thread on how things do woek in the military. While I loe my mother, she has been known to exaggerate so its nice to know weeks would not be a time unit I would have to worry about in the future. Thanks again for all he well wishes. If I get any info on what happened I'll post it
