When communications are available on the scene (as opposed to in enemy territory or MIA), news can come within hours, so if you have not heard anything yet, that is most likely good news.

Yes, the wife is next of kin and would be told first.

Do you have a contact number for his base here in the States? If not, call your closest military (a military recruiter if all else fails) so that if the military wants to contact you they can find you.

(About where do you live?)

Then, as hard as it sounds, sit tight. Have someone screen your calls so you don't have to deal with reporters and other pests.

And try not to worry every time the phone rings. For really bad news, someone would come in person.
