Were you the first one in your family to join the military? Or do you come from a family where service is common?

There has been at least one person in every generation of my family (on my mothers side) that has worn the uniform.

I was the first to serve since my grandfathers served in WWII. Everyone was proud of me but my mother was not crazy about the idea because well, she's a mom, and the thought of her favorite child (I have 3 sisters) getting hurt didn't sit well with her. But she'll admit now that it was a good decision.

I like how you added that favorite child in there. I have a sister so I often add that comment when talking to my parents.

It's a constant theme in our family. Of course it's all in good fun. But not really. I'm the favorite. :)
