Years ago I was standing the MAG duty during a fatal mishap (not my MAG, the other coast's MAG). I was still pretty busy with the MAG CO wanting updates frequently.
I was out tending to various matters (inspecting the barracks) when I got a page (pre-cell phones) about "an emergency".
I called the POC who wanted to know who, exactly, was killed because "he knew people in that squadron".
Well, no shit. Seeing as it was the RAG, we ALL knew people in that squadron. Considering this person was a new guy pilot, you would have thought that he would know that:
A) I wouldn't/couldn't release information like that, and
B) I was kind of busy and didn't appreciate the "emergency" requirement that he made up.
Don't be that guy.
