What is your family background in the military.
Mine for example,
•2 great grandfathers were Captains in the British Royal Navy in world war 1.
•My grandfather was a sailor (signalman) in the British Merchant Navy in WW2 doing North Atlantic convoy.
•His brother was a British Infantry Major (involved in Dunkirk, and D-Day landings.... drank heavily for the rest of his life)
•My grandmother's brother was a Sunderland Pilot in WW2, he was killed in action.
•And her other brother (Brit Infantry) was captured by the Japanese in Burma
•My other grandfather was a Royal Australian Artillery Bombadier in New Guinea and his brother flew Hawker Hurricanes.
•My uncle was a grunt in Vietnam, and then became a career soldier upon return, upon return he transfered into Army Trade school as an instructor then "retired" to Ordnance Corp.
So this history kinda guided me into the military life
