Do you consider your branch of service, members: to be your family?

I'd like to think we all do, regardless of branch.
Got big brother National Guard.
Hard working little brother "Big" Army, Smart baby brother Air Force, smart mouth cousin you watch Football with Navy, that weird ass cousin you always fight with Marine, and then there's the quiet one Coast Guard that we all fuck with but would fuck up anyone else that tried.

Just like your real family, there are people you don't like to see and won't hang out with. There are some who are far more than family to me.

Family? lived in tighter quarters sometimes than Family that is true. We share a common language, Navy Speak, Culturally we are almost Kin but still unless they are German/Scot/English/French Raised in St Louis, Cincinnati & Kansas City probably not quite Family but still very close.

If it came down to real world situations, I would always have a military members back regardless of branch or rank. However, like some others have stated... Like with anything peer relationships in the world some people will always be held closer and some will not hold that ideal of family in my mind.
