I am going to write about some military jargon or expressions that civilians do not always understand.
Servicemember: A servicmember refers to the person in the family who actually wears the uniform. It could be a soldier, sailor, airman (which includes air-women), or Marine or Coast Guard. Servicemember is terminology that is most often used on forms that family members, parents, dependents, spouses may need to be aware of. Almost all units require servicemembers to update paperwork that is pertinent to their next of kin on an annual basis. Normally paperwork is updated as part of a birthmonth audit. This means during the month of a servicemembers birthday, the servicemember can be expected to be given some duty time and the assistance of someone who knows what is going on to keep their paperwork right. Examples of pertinent paperwork includes life insurance (servicemembers group life insurance) and next of kin address, beneficiaries, death gratuity designees and so on.
