My unit is requiring family members speak with the chain of command to get to know them better. Do I have to do this?

I can appreciate how you feel…the military is different than other employment.

The command needs to be able to know and understand family members to better serve their needs especially when the unit is deployed.

If you don’t want to participate this is something you might consider discussing with the chain of command and/or the 1SG/CDR on open door policy.
