The vast majority of people do not join because of family tradition. The vast majority join for the absolutely insane benefits that come along with service.

I won’t dispute your lived experience, I just know that I have read about families with prior military service being more likely to have children who similarly prioritize service. Thanks for being a support for them.

my experience is similar to MTZ’s. the family tradition may be there, but the benefit structure is why they join.
