Thanks to my grandparents, whom all served during World War II (among other family members still alive.)
Yes, my grandmother wore combat boots, what about yours? (Marine Corps Drill Instructor. While pregnant.)

Yes, my grandmother outranked my grandfather. She also ran her house like she was a Marine Drill Instructor.
I didn't find out about her military service until I was in college (we were largely estranged from that side of the family until about then,) and my reaction was "yeah, that explains a lot."
