A lot of commands have the day off as well...Its business as usual at NOB and JEB. Not sure where you're getting your gouge from, but I've been on both bases since the news broke about this incident.

No, not really. Very few get to see mishap board info. And, while it is critical, that is not why COs lock down bases.Because privileged information is critical at a time like this. From my experiences with similar mishaps.
