In a round about way the military is their own law enforcement, going to the commanding officer or M.P's when dealing with someone living on a military base is the way to go, otherwise it would have been calling the off base cops to then have them tell you to call the on base police.Originally Posted by cococat

I don't think you got it wrong, that's what I read too. And I also read that she threatened them with a visit from the health department. Now it may not be what she intended to convey, but that is what she conveyed none-the-less. And the onus of understanding is on the writer to make sure that the reader is actually getting the message, not on the reader to interpret and try and figure out what the writer intended.Originally Posted by Yosemite
I may have read this wrong but I got the impression that you were more upset about her cutting into your own business and were trying to warn her off. Even if that is the situation, it should be handled by the authorities like the health department rather than you taking on that responsibility.
I'm going to treat this as a lesson that I can learn from albeit through someone else's error.Originally Posted by Rosiemac

I still say an e-mail, better still an annonymous letter to the proper authority would have been a better of handling it.
