mums side was a hard working millworker, grinded his arse off for 20 years, but it all ended up as shit because he was a sexist who gave all his money to his son and neglected his 5 daughters who took care of him and his wife until his end.

Dads side was a doctor in India, he had 2 degrees, but he specialised in homeopathy so I don't think he was a real medical doc. Yet he still ran a clinic and helped many poor people, eventually dying in poverty himself.

I wish I knew what my older ancestors did.

Master electrician after working through apprentice and journeyman. Helped build some bridges that raise and lower that I've driven across, pretty cool stuff.

My grandpa on my mothers side was born during the war. His dad was crew on an escort carrier that pilots learned to land and take off on.
Dads dad was a mechanic on state side bombers that patrolled the coast for submarines, claimed they bombed alot of whales by accident. Was stationed in london for a short time after the war. He died long before I was born. His brother, my great uncle was a huge source of pride for our family. He enlisted in the navy as a corpsman. Not tough enough for him, reenlisted as a marine. Took a bullet in the ass on Iwo Jima. It was still in him when he was buried in '04. Kindest most gentle man you could ever know, had a hollowed out hand grenade full of gold teeth dead japanese soldiers donated to him with the use of a rifle butt.

I have a book on my desk at work with a picture of him in a fox hole and a shell going off in the background. He found the book one day in a bookstore and was flipping threw it and found himself. There was a photographer attached to his unit so the beginning of the book talking about how the soldiers passed time aboard the ships shows alot of guys in his unit playing cards etc.

One was drafted in the army during Korean War, had bad eye sight so he was put in intelligence. Claimed that there was very little intelligence to go around. After the war he was a physics teacher.

The other first joined the Air Force right at the tail end of the Korean War, but the war ended when got out of basic training. He spent his enlistment fixing B-52 bombers. Afterwards he did basic car maintenance and owned a gas station at one time.

Lol, didn't even fight. He was stationed in Japan for the duration of the war. He said that they would keep track of all the numbers of planes, ships, guns, ammunition etc. that went to Korea. He wasn't a military man at all.

Doctor for a mining company. There were no specializations - it was him and his nurse. Somebody came with a job site injury, he patched him together. Surgery needed, he was the surgeon. Miners wife having a baby, he delivered. Miner's kid needed something, he was the pediatrician. He had an office in his house so people could drop in when the clinic was closed, and had a separate phone line in his bedroom in case there was an emergency in the night.

I always find it odd how devestated people are when their grandparent dies.

Both grandfather's died well before I was born. One grandmother lived in Asia. I met her once when 10 and neither of us spoke the same language so she was nothing more than an old foreign lady to me, she died a few yeas later. Other grandmother I met 2 or 3 times but she died before I was 5 and showed no interest in my family.

I wish I knew the name of it. Id snap some pics of it.
His copy has all sorts of notes that he wrote in it, mine I just bought on amazon a year or two ago. When I was younger he was just some old dude ya know, moved away from my town (he and my great aunt were the only extended family we had within a half hour or so) about 4 years before he died. I think I was in 6th grade when he passed, maybe just before then because it was around the 4th of July. Now days Id love to have his advice being a bit older now and getting going with my life, people from my home town still ask about him, his wife, his daughter etc.

I had a teacher whose uncle legally changed his name to the name everyone new my great uncle by. He was really the perfect replacement for the grandpa I never knew.

I remember it being odd to me how much of my mothers family showed up to his funeral, but looking back it wasnt really odd. He was just that kind of guy, lucky to have known him.

Didnt feel like crying tonight thanks dick

Maternal grandfather was a welder, and before that he was a farmer and blacksmith...he did a fair bit of moonshining when he was growing up too.

Paternal grandpa was a machinist and electrician. He worked extensively at both over the years, but in the early 70s he started his own machine shop, which I work in today.

When he wasn't drunk and savagely beating his family, he was a safety inspector on construction sites. Well, he was drunk then as well.

One day a gust blew him off a sky scraper but it also blew a piece of the tyvek wrapping out so he ended up falling into that and sliding safely back inside the building a couple stories below.

He ended up walking up behind everyone who saw him fall like in that Indiana Jones movie with Sean Connery. Pretty sure he went home that night and beat the shit out of my dad and uncles.

He was sober by the time I got to meet him though, so I love the guy.

The other one drove an ambulance in Korea, came back to drive one at home, till he got frustrated with not being able to help people like he could in Korea. He became a firefighter after. He was also a drunk, but much more distant with his family, so not as abusive.

Military. Don't remember what branch. Don't know his role except some paperwork that said "marksman" something. Figure it's too glamorous to assume he was a sniper.

>Dad's side
Toy store owner. Jew.
Incidentally, dropped out of college to join the army, then contracted pneumonia and they wouldn't take him. College wouldn't take him back, so he opened a toy store.

>>730418757
For what its worth, not trying to tear your image of your grandfather down, but marksman is the minimum qualification for your rifle. It goes marksman, sharpshooter, expert. He could've been a squad designated marksman, don't know if they were around then. Kind of like snipers, best shot in the squad got a special rifle or a scope, but didn't go through all the rigorous survival training of a sniper.

Neh, it's fine. He wasn't a war hero. Just a Texan, patriotic. He was a scientist and veterinarian. Which made it confusing because he was a vet and also a vet.

Maternal grandfather was in the army during WW2. Not sure what he did. He never spoke about it. Retired after 35 years of being a chemical engineer. Passed away last year. Paternal grandfather was a paratrooper. Actually parachuted into Nazi German during WWII. Got a couple purple heart medals. Spent 30 or so years as a master electrician. Blew a couple of fingers off and retired. Passed away late 90s.

Not my grandfather, but my great uncle. He came back from WWII married his girl and owned a shoe store for far too long. Not until the rat trap burned down, did he actually retire and relax.

But in WWII, he was a captain in the U.S. Army. He didn't talk too much about it. He was in Europe and his unit saw a lot of action. He did tell one story, and it makes me smile to this day.

>Unit was on some high alert for days.
>A young private comes up to my uncle and says "Captain, I've been up for 2 days. Could I please just get a quick nap?"
>My uncle says "Find some dark corner and take 20 minutes."
>Unbeknownst to my uncle, General MacArthur showed up to do a surprise inspection.
>As he was touring the unit, he sees this young private asleep in a dark corner.
>General MacArthur kicks the private, waking him up.
>He screams at him "WHY ARE YOU ASLEEP WHEN THIS UNIT IS ON ALERT?!?!?"
>The private said his captain gave him permission.
>General MacArthur drags the private to his feet and orders him to go find the captain and bring him back.
And, in my uncle's words...
"Aaaand THAT was how I met General MacArthur."

Hell of a great guy. I miss him every day.

Colonel in the soviet army. Apparently he specialized in chemical and nuclear attacks and would go around teaching schools and whatnot what to do in a case of an attack. He also oversaw the cleanup of radioactive fallout, not surprising that he died of cancer. He had the nickname черная пантера or black panther cause of his dark skin and abundance of hair. He also was a champion fencer and had won tournaments for it.

Musician. Woodcrafter. Handyman. Husband.

He played the bass for the California Symphany for many years towards the later stages of his life.

Long before that, he was a 20-year-old, left home by himself, with little money or prospects for employment, in the hope that he would find some way to make it by wherever he wound up. He travelled across the country looking for work as a musician, and had endless stories to tell about that.

we lived in what is called Serbia today. After the war the serbs went to the graveyards and destroyed the "ev" and "ov" in the family names of the graveyards and replaced it with "cic" and their degenerate way of calling themselves. basically my whole family has been forced into serbdom.
my grandfather then moved to bulgaria and joined the army after ww2 during the korean war and was aiding north korean soldiers as sanitary or however its called in english? medical supply? red cross? xD
