My Watch was tasked with doing the NOK notification to his father today. Military personnel could not make it up in time as the press release went out so quick. As it turns out, my wife used to work with Cpl. Mcully's father.
Sincere condolences to his family. RIP

let me get this straight. The media released the information BEFORE the NOK was notified.

Quag: from an earlier report on the web today, they mentioned that the NOK were notified, but the identity held at the family's request pending their notification of other extended family members. I think the release that *someone* was killed may have gone out before the family was notified, perhaps.
