Retired Lt. Colonel in the Army (Military Intelligence, which as Hawkeye Pierce pointed out, is an oxymoron). After retiring, worked for a defense department contractor in Northern Va.
Oh, and he also sold concessions at Fenway Park in high school and college.

Wow. I once shot a german mauser used in WWII. I got drunk later that night and shed a few tears thinking that gun might have killed Allied soldiers.
My father-in-law was on a destroyer off the coast of Korea during the forgotten war.

my FIL-2b voluntarily left college at Virginia Tech to join the armed services and serve a tour in Vietnam. He was a gunman on a river boat, doing the same thing they showed in detail in Apocalypse Now.
He does not talk about it much. But it definitely changed the course of his life.

reesh...that is a little fucked up. The guy is STILL proud of having killed allied forces and americans...in this day and age where comments like that are looked upon as if you were a terrorist? And what is worse, with all the information on Hitler and his 'final solution' he was proud to be a part of that?
What does your wife think about all of this?

i don't think it's fucked up at all. he sounds like an infantryman (or equivalent) serving his country with honor. it's not like he was in the high command or such. foot soldiers tend to respect one another. for instance from the battle of gallipoli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gallipoli#Trivia) where 130k died, a day's truce was given to remove dead and wounded and they even traded food from one side to the other.

I hope I dont sound like a nazi sympathizer, but the Wehrmacht was the regular enlisted German army. Any German that was drafted went into the Wehrmacht. We're not talking the SS here.
The reason I know is that 3 of my grandmother's brothers were forcefully drafted towards the end of the war. The oldest one was 17 and the youngest was 14. They had no choice.

My second father in law makes some of the most prized eukeleles in the world (yes... Bobo knows of him). He's also a renowned guitar repairman and he used to "jam" with Doc Watson.

My former father-in-law was a hard ass who worked for the NSA. My experience with that family was very similar to Meet The Parents.

The first time I met him he spoke fluent Russian to me. Yeah, not too intimidating.

I met my wife's father once before he died. In his life, he was a NYC police officer, FBI agent, attorney, Huntington police commissioner, I think DA for Suffolk County (or at least an ADA), and a Suffolk county judge.

My mother-in-law works for the NSA. First time I met her it felt like an interrogation! I wonder if she ran a background check on me?

Quite possibly. I know there was a file on my sister-in-law from when she was dating my bro-in-law in college.
There definitely would have been a file on me had I dated my ex-husband in the 80s. Russian family background, Soviet Studies major...

Oh, I think there is too since she has to get special security clearances as part of her job. When she was stationed in Germany, my brother-in-law got caught with pot on the Air Fairce base she was working at and she sent his ass back to the states ASAP as she was warned if it happened again it would affect her security clearance.

My former father-in-law was a boxer of some renown in the Marine Corps and quite the chess player.
Pissed him off the only time we played and I beat him.
He went on to be an air traffic controller and I don't know what else.
He was my wife's step-father. Her real father sold medical supplies and refused to become romantically involved with women. He would hire strippers to spend the weekend with him. Besides the sex, he would pay them to clean house, cook and do laundry as well.
He wasn't too popular with the rest of that family.
