[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1011629, member: 14668"] We had an OMS whose son was in the Army and serving in a frontline combat unit in Iraq during the 2003 invasion. She politely and respectfully informed everyone in the office, as well as the center manager and the DM, that she [I]would[/I] be leaving her cell phone turned on in the office during the day and that if she ever got a call from her son during work hours she [I]would[/I] be taking the call immediately, and that if anybody had a [I]problem[/I] with that fact she would go ahead and [I]quit[/I]. Combat troops overseas dont have much control over when or if they are able to make phone calls, so if he got the chance she damn well wanted to hear from him to know that he was OK. There was a rule at the time against using cell phones in the office, but fortunately an exception was made for her. Her son came home safe. I remember everyone being scared to death on her behalf that she would get called with horrible news, and how grateful we all were to hear when he finally got to come home. [/QUOTE]
