1. They only contact after they reach the family. They may have had
problems contacting the soldiers emergency contact.

2. Up until lately they were reporting deaths without releasing the names...
...until after they contacted the family. That appears to have changed recently.

3. Nope you're right but Since your report had the name attached
I thought it was because they waited for the name.

I'm sorry. I was mistaken. :pals:
