Uncle served in the navy in the 70s right after Vietnam. Grandpa served as an officer in the coast guard after he got out of college in the 50s.
I'm thinking about continuing the seafaring tradition myself in the coast guard.
My dad was an airplane mechanic. I'm assuming in Vietnam but I'm not sure. He doesn't talk much. He work(ed) as a car mechanic until he went to prison for CP I guess, I haven't been told much.
>>28369573
Do It anon, keep that line goin!!!
I kinda feel like I need to revive my line after all my predecessors fuckups. The army's artillery division has been callin me.
Great uncle was a sniper in the Korean war
Grandpa flew seaplanes in the navy right before Vietnam but was honorably discharged because his wife and son were having serious medical problems and needed care. But just between you and me and think the masons tipped him off before the public new of the war
My brother was a marine during the Iraq war
Also related to Andrew Jackson if that counts
>>28369440
Don't know many details but just basics on my family
Great grand dad was one of the guys guiding planes on carriers during WWII
Uncle got drafted into Nam and was never the same, seriously he is FUCKED up
Had a cousin that got killed during Desert storm
Also have a bloodline tying me to General Robert E. Lee
Hoping to extend my families military history myself :D
>>28369717
Nice anon, got some confederate blood In ya.
What branch you lookin at?
>>28369778
Was looking to join the Army
Was hoping to be cav scout but only time can tell
http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/browse-career-and-job-categories/combat/cavalry-scout.html
My great-great grandfather fought against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. He was at Lérida and Belchite. He had to flee to the US. He smuggled his rifle into the US and I am currently the owner of it. It is a Spanish Mauser.
>Uncle (Dad's side)
Army Ranger stationed in Alaska. He gets his kick by telling blatantly over-the-top and fake stories to idiots then makes fun of them for believing him.
>Father
Army field medic during peace time. According to him, by the time he got out he had wore out the ass on eight pairs of paints because of how much sitting he did while in the field, but his boots were still as clean as the day he was issued them.
He's now a Physician's Assistant and Fire Fighter.
>grandfather
This guy had some crazy stories. He was trained at the end of WWII to work on B29s. When Korea rolled around, they transferred him to work on F-86s.
He was a skinny dude who was extremely skilled mechanically. Because of his size, he could crawl into the engines and turn a 2 hour maintenance job into a 15 minute one. As a result, his base's CO treated him like a king and actually had him eat at the officer's table despite being enlisted.
If his stories are to be believed, when a newly transferred in officer started screaming at my grandfather for sitting with the officers and threatening him with punishment of some kind, the base CO came over, chewed out the new officer, and made him sit at the enlisted table for a month.
Had relatives on both sides of American Revolution, and a grandfather in WWII. No other military tradition I know of.
Great grand uncle died from gas in France ww1
A buttload of office and reservists during ww2
Nothing after that. I'm going in, hopefully to the armoured corps. Wonder if it'll inspire others down the line to join
great grandfather died in the winter war fighting russians, apparently jumped on a grenade to save his buddies
way back my fathers side of the family(german) had their own ship and worked for the brits as "priviteers" or whatever the fuck they call mercenary pirates
grandfather was in the swedish reserves or some shit
thats all i got.
>>28369829
Aww fucking nice M8, I can only imagine how many he killed with It.
>>28369832
Kek. I bet that officer was pissed.
I've heard of stories like that where mechanics are literally gods on base, I mean, who else Is gonna fix the damn thing?
>>28369871
Do you know what kind of gas It was?>>28369905
Damn, that takes some serious courage to jump on a nade.
>>28369440
Far back one of my relatives marched over a frozen sea to shoot some danes in the face, then he marched back again.
Also:
>reading my great granddads diary, he wrote short notes on each day
>a few months after ww2 ended
>"weather sunny with some clouds, ham and eggs for lunch, shot 4 german defectors in the woods"
>no mention of this before or after
Aside from that and conscription in sweden i'm the only military man in my family. Maybe some grandkids far back will gasp at how i fixed planes and didn't afraid of anything.
>Great grandfather was a pilot in the army air core in WWI
>Grandfather was a officer in the army during the Korean war
>Father was an army officer during the first gulf war
When I decided to join the military, they all said the same thing
>"Join the air force"
So I did
>from fathers side, grandfather a SSgt, grandmother a volunteer anti-air observer in WW2, uncle SSgt
>from mothers side, grandfather and uncle ROTC, cousin ROTC + Defence academy, active service
>father infantry ROTC
>me mechanized infantry ROTC, active reserve
>Grandfather was in the Navy in WWII
>Uncle was in the Navy
>Mother was in the Army
And now I'm going into the Air Force.
My great grandfather was a drafted into a Wehrmacht infantry unit. Poland-> Denmark-> Norway-> Netherlands-> Belgium-> France->some Greek islands -> North Africa.
Ended as prisoner of war in Africa and got shiped to the US to work on a farm there till the end of the war. Was pretty lucky with that, his unit pretty much got exterminated in Russia
>>28369989
FDF
I know three of my great grandfathers were in WW2. Never got to meet any of them unfortunately.
-One was in the Navy on the West Virginia (BB-48). He was at Pearl Harbor and stayed on the WV until the end of the war. I cannot remember what his job actually was.
-One was a Marine. We worked as a Corsair Mechanic and was on Okinawa.
-One was in the Army and fought in Italy. He also worked as a translator.
Both my grandfathers were in the military during Vietnam, but only one actually went over. Both are still alive.
-My dad's father was in the Navy on a Helicopter Carrier. He worked on the diesel generators. He's told me they were mostly responsible for ferrying Marines and their helicopters.
-My mom's father was in the Army end ended up getting sent to Alaska (I think to work on SAMs or something similar). All I know is he met my grandmother there.
>>28369440
Grandfather on Dad's side was a Naval Petty Officer during WWII in Malaysia, Naval Intelligence admin.
Grandfather on Mom's side was Army Medical Corps (Admin) 1st Lieutenant who served in Germany during the Korean War.
Dad was Naval Lieutenant during Vietnam who instructed on flight communications in San Diego.
I went Army as a Scout and went to Iraq.
My great-great-uncle on my mom's side did fire control on a BB in the big one, then went on to fix planes for the USN. My father's paternal uncle was fighting the japs from the other side and was captured (I think) presumably in India or Burma.
>>28369440
Grandpa from moms side was part of an AA crew for the Imperial Japanese Army and was stationed in Nagasaki. He saw the A-bomb go off
>tfw grandpa didnt do his job right
>>28370075
If that's true. I really don't think there was much he could do. Japanese AA was almost entirely ineffective against B-29s and they were told not to waste the shots at a few planes because it probably meant they were just scouting for a coming raid where there would be a lot more.
I can only imagine though...
The phrase "Hory Shet" comes to mind.
>>28370075
Im sorry, but top fucking kek M8.
Well, It least he got to see that bad puppy go down xD
My Dad's Uncles
>Uncle 1
>navy mechanic
>Was at pearl harbor
>ship was hit and sinking
>he was in the engine room
>stumbles his way to the deck in the dark, eventually finds the mess hall
>Takes a loaf of bread from the kitchen
>"Best fucking thing I ever ate"
>Survives the war, decides to fuck off back to his hometown in Montana

>still alive, goes fishing when he can
>fucker is still 6'2 at 90+ years old.
>>28370134
He also got government munnies for radiation so all was good
>>28369440
Uncle has recently been printed to Lt Colonel. It'll be interesting to see if he'll continue to climb the ranks, or if he'll just stay where he is. He did a tour in Bosnia if I recall correctly.
>>28370467
>printed
Promoted.
Supposedly one of my ancestors was close to Washington, but I can't be bothered to verify it.
One grandfather served on a destroyer in the Med during the war.
My great uncle from the other side of the family served on the sister ship of that grandfather.
The other grandfather was in the Air Force, working on B-47's, missiles and B-52's.
One of my cousins got a Purple Heart and I think a bronze star in Afganistan.
My other cousin was sent to Levenworth, but fuck him.
>>28370584
Why's you hate your cousin anon?
Story time
>>28370653
Other than the fact that he's a felon?
He's just a dick in general.
And his girlfriend/wife/fiance/whore is a turbo-cunt.
>grandfather gets conscripted into the Dominican army
>a few months later civil war breaks out
>his family supported the 'rebels'
>so did he but he didn't want to get caught deserting
>he becomes a radio operator and helps the air force drop bombs on places where he grew up
>later the US intervenes, grandfather speaks English and becomes a translator
>after the rebels are suppressed, grandfather finds out his family doesn't want anything to do with him because he stayed in the army
>the US agrees to take him in because of his service
>moved to the US and never spoke about his service again
We had no idea what happened until after his death. He never spoke a word about it, and only said that he had problems with his family
pic related, we found a journal he wrote during the war that explained everything
>>28369440
5 Brothers In the Army , They all do different things
1 was SF , I plan on going through the SF pipeline aswell
According to my mother a great-great-grand father was conscripted into the Portuguese army and sent to Goa to fight. Maybe to put down a rebellion.
I've had uncles who served in Angola during the colonial wars.
I've always been curious if a relative had served with the Portuguese Expetionary Army in the France. It would be fascinating to know if he fought in battle of Lys.
>>28369440
Great Grand paps one was in the army and the other was in the navy, battle of the bulge and Normandy, the navy guy chilled in Australia during ww2
Grandfather on my moms side was a MP during ww2 cause he was old as hell, got a bronze star for single handedly stoping a massive German pow jail break in Texas.
Then me, I fucked shit up in Afghanistan.
Great Granpa took part in the liberation of Italy, got shot 3 times in some battle - knee, shoulder, and I think an arm, and sent back home. He surprised the doctors because he said it didn't hurt at all. Then he became a truck driver.
My grandfather on my dad's side served on the uss Massachusetts in ww2, he operated one of the big guns, after the war he became a barber in the airforce. My grandfather on my mother's side faught in the Korean War with the army. Two uncles served in Vietnam. One was a gunner on a pt boat and earned a silver star the other was a helicopter mechanic. Another uncle served in both Iraq wars as an army driver. One of my cousins is a flight instructor in the usaf, one is a marine gunner in korea and another is in the army working comms. I am a failure and didn't pass the physical exam to get in due to a knee injury. Sucks I can't be a part of the family tradition.
My grandfather was in the Army and caught the end of the Korean War.
My father was in the Army as a radio operator and was stationed in Germany in the late 70s.
They both didn't talk about their service much and my father didn't want me to join the military. I work at a NSWC instead.
>i joined the military becuz pappy was military
What an uncreative person. Also weird how every military brat who joins up never actually wants to do their job. And weird how every military brat who joins have behavior issues.
great-grandpa was in the Navy, did his 20 and retired.
grandpa was in the Navy, did 20 and retired.
other grandpa was in USAF for 4.
one uncle was in the Navy for 6.
another uncle was in the Navy for 11 months, got out for shin splints because there was "too much marching" lmao.
probably going USAF if I don't like college.
>>28369440
>grandfather 1 was an lt commander on the uss Pennsylvania during pearl harbor
>grandfather 2 was a radar engineer for the navy and air force in ww2
>grandfather 3 was a mechanic in the army in ww2
>grandfather 4 was a b-29 (think supply drop not hiroshima) pilot in ww2 and was listed as pow/mia
100% of the following generations in my entire known family became hippies after ww2. 1 uncle served in vietnam but claims to have worked as an electrician and purposely disabled his rifle because he did not want to kill anyone. another uncle collects milsurp rifles but never served.
also, why do i have 4 grandpas? i have allot of "step". i dont even know 100% who's blood and who's not anymore.
>>28370941
>if I don't like college
You mean "if I don't like working". Which you don't. You'll enlist and just kind of exist for 4 years. We know your type.
>great great uncle is southern guerrilla in the civil war
>ambushes a bunch of black cavalrymen
>they couldn't shoot back because their muskets got fucked up in the snow
>gets hanged as a war criminal

>>28370958
>step
High cuuckoldry rate on that family. Only a broken man raises a kid that ain't his.
Do you plan on continuing the family tradition and hooking up with some single moms?
>Grandfather on mom's side was in 8th airforce
>stationed somewhere in England
>some type of mechanic, took off bombs that came back from sortie's that didnt detach/malfunctioned
>straight from Long Island so he fought a lot, got demoted twice
>almost pushed into rotating propeller

>Bomb detonates, kills his bestfriend and like 3 other planes in front of his eyes
>Moms Uncle
>8th Air Force as well
>Ball gunner of a B-24 cause tiny as fuck
>Has 3 confirmed air kills, came back an alcoholic according from my mother
>apparently saw a lot of shit up there, almost never talked about it
Jimmy Stewart was his pilot, if you know who he is
Great grandpa (father's side) and his ancestors served as Spanish Merchant Marines before coming to the US. Don't know much about this generation and older but some were Commies and some were Franco lovers, I think some of them fought in the Spanish Civil War but I know for sure some were executed for being on the wrong side.
Grandpa and all his brothers were marines. Grandpa fought in Korea and Vietnam.
Dad was MP in the army (marine recruiter was out for lunch) for something like 15 years, lots of travelling and intel work but no killing.
Grandpa (mother's side) was a doctor in the navy, saw plenty of people die.
Considering joining up but I'm already in Uni.
>>28370966
Cavalrymen with muskets...?
>>28370997
So both were lower-class enlisted? Did anyone in your lineage escape to the middle or upper class? Or is your bloodline destined to circulate in the bottom rungs?
>>28371000
Sounds like your good genes are on your mother's side. What is your major/minor?
My dad was an infantry officer in the Marines through the late 80s and mid 90s. He got his commission when he was 21 and now I'm 21 and feel like a piece of shit because I can barely do three pull ups
Grandpa was in Nam, doing something with the air force. I always thought he was a pilot but he was estranged from the family when I was young, so I don't know for sure.
Great uncle was in Nam as a photographer. He was 16 and lied about his age to get in. Saw some cool shit apparently. Like a nuke being dumped off somewhere in the pacific
>>28371021
My grandparents were dirt poor. Mom used to wear clothes my grandma use to knit because they couldn't afford to buy any. They got more financially stable in the late 80s
My dad and mom worked their ass off their entire lives, grew up highish mid class. Live in a nice house, my parents are some of the most selfless people i know
So yeah, i guess we did escape it
>>28371018
i guess, could have been carbines but i doubt the army would splurge on black cavalry men escorting cattle
>>28371081
What position are you currently? Your generation should be better off than your parents if they did their job right.
>>28371030
I'm basically a clone of my dad and he's basically a clone of his. I have the smarts of my mother's side (ton of doctors and lawyers, all my cousins got into Ivy League schools) but I didn't get the hard working part from either side. Work ethic is shit but I'm trying to fix that. I'm in a decent uni but nothing like my cousins are in, and I know if I didn't fuck up and act lazy in high school I could have done much better.
Majoring in comp sci. Hard because I suck shit at calculus but fun.
>>28371108
Im only 19 and in college
I work at Shoprite which i fucking despise, been sending apps out for other places but none called back yet except 1
Brother is in the Air force in POL, says it aint bad. My sister is also in college going for sociology or some shit
So yeah we're doing pretty good
>>28371125

Grandfather was a Merchant Marine in the Second World War, my Uncle was in the Navy during Vietnam, and another Uncle was in the Army in some capacity until he retired recently. I dunno what he did, I remember a long time ago he said helicopter repair, my dad said he was former SF, so I'm not too sure what he did. Based on information given, all I can guess was that he might have been 160th, but I can't confirm. I might have to ask him the next time I see him.
>Great grandpa flew B-25 in World War II
>Served all the way until 1971
>Other one was a Merchant marine who joined when he was 16 to remove Rhine monkey
Fin.
>>28371157
Obviously studying. Takes a while for anything to click, though, and it leaves my head pretty quickly. Just means study more.
And yeah grandfather, uncle and aunt have horror stories about being doctors. Grandfather was the only person to get an A in a certain professor's class for the professor's entire career. All crazy hard workers but I slacked in that area for years, only just now fixing it.
>>28371267
>horror stories
Wouldn't call it that. You suffer now and reap much better rewards later.
Dad was probably the last Vietnam mustang pilot in the Air Force.
Started off as WSO (presumably) in F4's and got recommended for officer program. Flew in 555th Fighter Squadron where he helped test laser guided bombs. Stationed at Eglin then Nelis before getting a desk job in the Norfolk area. Ended career as LT. Col with only three bosses above him. Loved flying his single engine in Austin.
His records has a list of all the hours he has flown in what planes, maybe mom has that in Florida. That, along with the reel of bomb-sight footage and a laser seeker head (with a plaque). His effects also had his "party-suit", a flight suit cut from pajama-type materials. People raised during WW2 seem to be a lot smaller.
"War For the Hell of It: A Fighter Pilot's View of Vietnam" was a good read. That bit about seeing the pilot just staring out from the porch into the rain before the author realized they had died two weeks ago, was eerie. The bit about the mythical alien cyborg F4 pilot making one-shot kills was fun. A whole mythology back on base about that.
>>28371286
Throughout their careers, I mean. Grandfather loved his job so he wouldn't call it that but the whole family knows he was rarely home. Uncle and aunt (married, not brother and sister) both work pretty insane hours too, especially in the past few years. Hospitals keep c ucking them. Uncle usually picks up the slack of his co-workers being lazy pieces of shit, too.
Not to mention real horror stories of "how did you do this to your body".
>>28369440
Okay. Britbong here.
Paternal family history:
Father and uncle were soldiers. Uncle was in the Falklands from day 1 to end, father was in cyprus. Both were in Northern Ireland when shit was kicking off.
Two cousins were in the middle east. Both were in Iraq, one was in Afghanistan.
Grandfather on my dad's side was a soldier in Korea. My father and uncles were brought up on military bases in Germany.
Great grandfather and all his brothers fought and survived the allied invasion of Europe in WW2.
Great-great grandfather fought in WW1.
Supposedly, even further back than that, they were involved in the anglo-zulu war.
Maternal side:
Grandfather fought in Korea.
Great grandfather fought in WW2 and survived the African theatre.
Great-great grandfather fought in WW1 and survived mustard gas, but had problems for the rest of his life.
On my maternal side, the next person we can find who we know for sure was in the army was a man called John Drinkwater Bethune, the same guy who wrote the Gibraltar war journals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Drinkwater_Bethune
Back further than that (this is as far as we know about our family history), my ancestor Thomas Myddelton the Younger was a Sergeant-General in the English Civil War.
Not /k/ related, well, maybe it is, but Thomas Myddelton the Younger's father, Thomas Myddelton, was one of the founding members of the East India Company.
So yeah. I got the blood of war.

And his father https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Myddelton_(Lord_Mayor_of_London)
>>28370740
Shit man, that's fucked. Did he ever consider at least helping out the rebels by providing Intel or shit?
>>28369440
Two of my Uncles served in the CAF in Afghanistan (one's a major, the other got out as a Sergeant).
I have a grand uncle in the US who was a Captain in 'Nam (I assume he was from West Point or some other academy, which would surprise me since he was a newly-immigrated Filipino).
>>28370740
>supporting rebels
>making it to a ripe old age and watching your children grow up
Pick one.
My great-grandfather on my father's side went back to Spain from Brazil to fight in the Spanish Civil War. He was galician so he could have fought for the nationalists but I don't know which side he was on.
His father meanwhile was either in the Spanish Foreign Legion or worked as a mercenary. Either way, he was up on some shit in North Africa once with his troops and they got lost in the desert for a week and had to drink their camels' piss to survive.
Whats interesting is that once my father casually mentioned this guy right here being one of my great uncles. He was the military president during the re-democratization period.
>>28369440
None whatsoever. No poor people or dumbasses.
Great Grandfather 10 generations ago was in Cumberland County militia in NJ during the revolution.
Grandfather was in Navy during ww11 and piloted a Higgins boat on Normandy invasion. Made it home too.
Other grandfather was Coast Guard right after ww11.
First cousin is career Navy and just finished his 4 years with the Blue Angels (mechanic).
Some generations back ancestor fought in the American Revolution in South Carolina. Brother was hanged as a spy, and he was wounded, held on a prison ship off the coast.
One of his descendants then fought in the US Civil war for the Confederacy. He was wounded in the siege of Vicksburg by artillery, I believe.
All the ones after that managed to be in the military between wars, so never saw deployment.
On my mother's side, one was a recon balloonist in WWI, which is pretty cool.
A Finn here. My fathers side had a great-uncle or something fighting in Waffen SS. He was really never talked about much, just saw his pic in a family album. The guy went MIA somewhere in South-Eastern Europe and was never seen again. He chose badly, but honor the brave for he saw the end of war before many of his generation...
>>28369937
That, that's a hell of a breakfast.
Uncle was a draftee during the Cold War, was stationed in Germany to drink and do whatever else
That about sums it up

Grand Father sat out WW 2 he was older and ' necessary' for war effort at hone, he was an engineer for colt fire arms.
Seen pictures of unnamed relations (great uncles) etc from WW 1 and Spanish American war.
Directly related to Ulysses Grant.

I'm happy not being perished
>Father on Mother side was in the Merchant Marines of Newfoundland. Has seen some Uboats

The rest of my family are a bunch of hippy, weed smoking losers that done nothing with their lives or followed their father's into the military. Guess that is typical for Canada.

>>28369440
great uncle was officer in Canadian royal navy, apparently near the end of his service he hosted a large private wedding on an aircraft carrier. I come from a long line of military shitheads
