My Grandfather was in the navy during Vietnam, and he served on a bomber. I don't think he saw the front lines, though.

My cousin too serves in the Marines, as communications. Been a real inspiration for me to possibly join a branch of the armed forces myself.

My great grandpa was  B1 Gunner in WWII, I think. My uncle was an Army grunt in Afghanistan, great-uncle was Navy, some other distant relative was Air National Guard. I am currently US Air Force.

   I served in the U.S. Navy reserve as a hospital corpsman, my brother is currently serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, my grandfather also served in the air force in the Philippines, and my youngest cousin just begun to serve in the navy. Before my family, immigrated from Canada, my late uncles served in the Royal Canadian Army, one uncle landed on Juno Beach in the second wave, and a second uncle served in Italy as part of the British 8th Army.

I don't know the war for my grandfather but I know he received an award for saving lives from a severe flood. I don't quite know the story myself. He just passed. 

My father was in the Gulf War.

I live in Israel. Here, conscription is mandatory when an individual reaches the age of 18, so yes. Everyone in my family from my generation (my brother, my sister and my cousins) have all served in the military in various positions. My uncle and my late father served in the red army back before i was born.

My immediate family has some Navy and Air Force heritage.

[Phoenix Flair 332]

I think both my Grandpas were in the Vietnam war, but I'm only sure that one of them saw "action".  He drove some bigwig around for a bit, and he was also part of a medical team, although he wasn't a certified nurse or doctor.  I think he was a techie for X-rays or something.  I don't think he was ever a gunslinger, but he did get a load of shrapnel in his leg one night when a bomb went off.  He's still got some of it in him, I think.

 

Plus my Dad was in the Air Force.  He retired just a few years back.  Never flew any planes, though.  He was a logistics guy, whatever that means.  Still, we're proud of him and all.  He served 6 months overseas in Iraq, and before that we all lived in Mexico and Colombia while he was working in embassies.

 

Oh, and my Uncle and my mom's cousin were in the Navy.  My mom's cousin had a brain injury while he was working there and now he has all these issues that are vaguely mentioned when the rest of the family gossips about him.

My great great great great great great grandson fought/ will fight in the Battle for Europa against Beta Reticulan armada. 

[n0body555 334]

Both of my parents served in the navy.

 

and I know my grandfather served as well. not to sure what part exactly though.

[EddG 554]

Both of my great grandfathers fought in WWII and my great great Grandfathers fought in WWI
.You legally had to fight in WWI/II in England.

[Ricebug 557]

I'm sorry for not knowing which one but I know my uncle did.

[Hypn0ticD 1,214]

Both my mom and dad were capitans in the army, and were both stationed in Germany.

 

I don't think I could ever serve in any branch of the military!

Grandfather on my dad's side served in the Navy. Uncle on my Dad's side served in the Army. Aunt on my Dad's side was Army. Uncle on my mom's side currently serves in the air force. My Brother will be attending basic training for the Navy later this month. 

[hawkflame 3,315]

Yes, but it's easy enough for me, being Korean-American.  In South Korea, men between the ages of 18 and 30 are required to serve for two years in the military (there are exceptions, of course).  Even celebrities have to put in their time.

 

So yeah, my dad, all my uncles, and some of my cousins have some sort of military experience.

~My dad served in the U.S. Navy for a few years when he was in his early 20's.

~My great-grandfather fought in WWI and received a Purple Heart.

[Steve Piranha 29,499]

My dad was a general in the armed forces. He retired three years ago. I miss touching and shooting military grade weapons 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,207]

One of my grandpa's (who is no longer alive) served in both WWII and Vietnam I think as a technician. I did not know him very well and my other grandpa died before I was even born. That is about all I know really.
