No, just me. My parents and siblings never had any interest in joining the military.

I'm the first person in my family to join. My family is incredibly proud of me for joining the military and they were very supportive of my decision.

No, I'm the only one in my family who has served in the military. However, my wife's grandad was in the navy

My two older brothers are officers in the army and I, the girl in the family, joined the air force.

Only me, and now what I am, I want to establish the habit of belonging to the army, in the next generation of my family, that is, my children.

I am a third-generation Latino, and I am part of the second generation where all the men belong to the army and some girls in the family joined the navy.

Strangely I am the only one in my family, we are a conservative family and despite always supporting the army, it is only me who joined the Marines.

In my house my parents are officers of the armed forces, my brothers are 3, they belong to different corps and I just graduated to be an officer in the Marines.

There is a love of being in the military in my family, you instantly become respected when you join the military.

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate. Would I be too senior to come in as a lateral hire? I guess it’s all about client networks at this level, and being government, it’s locationally dependent - so which markets have need?
