    Was the "rumor" clarified? I saw nothing in your rant about anything other than that.

    I am sorry to hear, though, that you have ZERO connection with military personnel, base, and family...

    Clarification just for you because you asked so sweetly :wink:

    So THERE I was.... lol. Just kidding.

    What happened was apparently the local newspaper had gotten a hold of the item (sailor from our base killed in action, name to be released upon notification of next of kin). These other wives apparently do not suffer from crushing anxiety and have been watching, reading and listening to the news. They began calling one another, speculating on whose husband it was, and telling each other the whole "No, it's yours. Nooo.. it's YOURS" garbage. Once the OFFICIAL notification was made, some one gave the IA Coordinator permission to go ahead and send a "YOUR husband is alright, but something DID happen" email. As far as anyone can figure out, this woman thought she was doing right by calling me since there was no email provided with my contact information (because I really just don't want to know). The fact that it clearly states DO NOT CONTACT (Because I just DON'T WANT to KNOW) was disregarded since she "thought" she was under orders to contact EVERY spouse on her list whether they provided an email address or not.

    So, I suppose the rumor I had no idea even existed until she called and scared the bejeebers out of me, has in fact been cleared up.

    And I'm not sorry in the least. This happening the way it did is a PRIME example of why I want nothing to do with them. Who in their right mind calls up a fellow wife and tells them, "Oh, it's not MINE, so it has to be YOURS". :noway: That's petty and childish. I gave up high school many years ago. I have no desire to relive it.

    It surely doesn't sound like fun for you, but speaking of childish... there's now a whole thread of strangers bashing a soldier who was just trying to do her job. Think about it.

    Point taken.

    BUT.... I strongly believe this woman should have at least consulted with other individuals for clarification sake before placing that call. There was no need for her to include me in her notifications.
