I am a retired SGM with more than 27 years served; I retired in 1995. My uncles served during World War II AT THE END. My two older brothers served during Vietnam and my little brother during the Cold War. I have a son serving in the Marines (he is also a sergeant major), a daughter in the Air force - staff sergeant with over 13 years. I also have a stepson in the Marines with almost 16 years. So I would say my family is definitely a military family.
