Yep. My dad and mom met in the Army. DH's grandfather was a fighter pilot during WWII (he flew B-17s--side note, I really want someone to make a movie about him. One of my favorite stories about his exploits (of which there are MANY), involved him buzzing the Eiffel Tower after the liberation of France, resulting in General Eisenhower issuing an order barring all Allied military personnel from buzzing it. I'm a tiny bit bitter he died before I got to meet him.
FIL was also in the Air Force, and DH was in the 82nd Airborne.
