Anyone in the military or whose parents were military?

ex-military, with air force parents.

The current generation of my family have no involvement in the military whatsoever due to my grandparents generation being so heavily involved in the bloody conflicts of world war 2. They came back home with adament that their children would not have anything to do with the war or military.

One of my relations was the highest ranking jew serving in the red army. Reached the rank of Major-General was an artillery specialist fought at Stalingrad.

Had a great aunt who was a jewish partisan fighter (parachuted into occupied poland by British SOE), was captured and sent to Auchwitz Berkanov and survived unknown to my family she lived out the rest of her life in the former yugoslavia didn't know she had survived the war until 2 weeks after she had passed away.

Grandfather was in the RAF, supplied soliders during operation overlord via tranport plane

Great uncle was second in command of the free french commando's has the highest award of Legion du honoure his names up on the arc de truimph

Also have a distant relative who was woman serving in the USAF in the 1970's don't know what she as being refugee's you don't have the privelage of keeping in track with your wider relations

father was army in WW2/Korea
older brother was army in vietnam
oldest brother was marine
self was in army but should not have been! EVER

my great grandad was a seargent

Dad was in the US Army
My great uncle was in WW 2 but he died tragically when he was 22 in car accident. He was engaged too.
My grandfather was in WW 2.

My grandfather was a Vietnam War Veteran who suffered a war injury and is missing a toe. Not really sure what his rank was, because I never really cared about it like the rest of my family. I'm not really much of a Millitary Fan.

Dad has my grandfathers US Army badges and his rank that was sewn onto his uniform.

Great grandad fought with the New Zealand mounted rifles in Palestine and the middle east in WW1
Great great uncle or something won a rare medal in the NZ land wars

My father in law is ex-military. As was his father and grand father.

Aside from my cousin that just got back from Afghanistan last month, that's as close as it gets for me.

My father was a captain in the military. His younger brother (who died in a military vehicle accident) and father were in the military, as well.

Oh I forgot another one, my cousin is currently in the millitary. He travels around a lot so I never see him anymore.

Is your cousin overseas now? I lived in Asia and US while dad was serving in US Army. It was great times living on the base. I miss it. I also dated someone for 4 years who was in the US Navy.

My parents are/were both military. My stepdad's retired and my mother's still active duty. My cousin and brother-in-law are both also active duty and have been deployed so many times I've lost count. My mom joined when I was two so I've always been around it. When I was 18 I wasn't very happy about having to be chucked out into the civilian world....with all its weeds and messy sites...hahaha

And as for going back in history, my family's been in the military since the Revolution and fought in almost every U.S. war.

My dad was in the Navy
My grandpa was in the Air Force
My uncle was in the Army

i tried to join the navy, but got kicked out halfway through basic training when they found out i had Aspergers
