Best friend's little brother is with the 1st Marines Expeditionary.
How long does it take the military to notify the family when there is a fatality????

MOS????
He told me exactly who he was with this morning but all I can remember is First Marines Expeditionary Unit and the last we heard from him he was in Kuwait on the border ready to go into Iraq. I haven't been able to get ahold of our friend to find out anymore since the news made the announcement.
Usually the next day, red cross is notified, and the <ilitary will send someone by to inform the family and help with all arrangements for the fallen babe....I hope he is well and comes home safely to his loved ones Darl'in
Usually it is 24 hours. A military chaplan and a Marine officer will go to the home of record address. If he is married that is where they will go. If not, usually it is the parents that are contacted in person.
