At this location it was handled about as well as it could be under the circumstances. One to one interviews to which a friend or rep could be brought. All PSF immediately available (literally doors open and everyone sat at their desks ready) along with SSAFA, Padre etc. All Flt/Sqn/Wg Cdrs on station and, again, immediately available.
Did not lessen the impact and, in a couple of cases, complete devastation, but it was as compassionate as it could be.
For the unit that had Admin shut, I would sack the CO.
