Do You Have Family In The Military?

[Family Ties Forever!]

My brother is in the military. He's in the Navy. He deploys tomorrow morning for the middle East. He will be gone for 6 to 9 months.

He has been in the military for almost 15 years (January 1996).

Anyone have family members in the military?

My older brother has been in the Air Force since 1998. He and his family are currently stationed in Italy, but spent four years in England before that. He was deployed to Afghanistan for six months this year.

No. However, my father's uncle was drafted sometime during World War II. He never got shipped overseas to Europe or Japan. I think the furthest he was sent was Philadelphia.

Oh, and he was from Hamilton, Ohio, just like me.

My dad was in the Army and later Air Force Reserve and he served in Vietnam.

Two cousins on my mom's side served in Iraq with the Marines. One is discharged and the other is still serving and is stationed in North Carolina.

My uncle served in the Army for 20 years.

Another uncle's stepdaughter is in Navy and works as a nurse.
