If the police didn't inform them, they'd find out in short time anyways. Police blotters are scanned constantly , and most local departments will notify the post of incidents involving military members as a courtesy, when anyone's name pops up they will get the police reports. The police would know this, and they would know that anyone in the military is required to inform their commanding officer of any incident involving the police.
Either way you cut it, the military was going to find out about the incident and the marriage license since it was mentioned in the police report.
Either way you cut it, the military was going to find out about the incident and the marriage license since it was mentioned in the police report.
And my point still stands, the police department has no right to inform the military of anything. Period. And for them to do so is unethical on the part of the department. Whether her officers would have found out or not is besides the point. What they call a courtesy is a violation of the woman's rights to privacy (again whether she lied to her CO or told them the truth is irrelevant).
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
