I could maybe see it if YOU are marrying your sister but that is frowned upon in Special Forces, FYI.

I missed my grandmother's funeral because I was reclassing from Weapons to medic... A Psyop LTC (family friend) ran his HHD on the Mata Mile that day to find me and make sure I knew because my folks could not get through on the CQ phone (pre cell phone). LTC J. actually grabbed the 18D instructor and asked him if I was in the formation.... Hey Sergeant__________, WTF did you do this time? A Fucking Ring Knocking Colonel wants to talk to you, asked for you by name? So, not only did I not go to the funeral, I caught shit for the rest of the course.
