question Follow up military question New

What branch of the military did/are you and/or your parents serve?

My dad and granddad were both in the Navy (my dad was on a sub, and my granddad was on an aircraft carrier), and my great grandfather was army (I think).

I probably won't serve, but if I have to, it'd definatly be Navy...of course, I'm slightly bias towards them.


Big thanks to y'all who have or are serving,
Thomas
