Today, I overheard my mother and sister talking so I stopped to eavesdrop. I recently enlisted in the Marines, and they were talking about what they would do with the money if I died. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law and sister-in-law over the baby monitor. They were talking about how much better off my daughter would be if I were to die. FML
Today, I asked my parents to sign for me to enlist in the military. They asked me how much money the government gives them if I die. FML
Today, I told my parents I was thinking about joining the army. They looked at each other and laughed for about 10 minutes straight. I wasn't joking. FML
Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML
Today, while chatting with my in-laws, I told them about my upcoming spinal surgery. Soon after, when I went to get us some drinks, I overheard them murmuring about how many surgeries I've already had, how I'm a drain on the healthcare system, and how I should ideally just die. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML
Today, I overheard my girlfriend telling her friend, "Actually, it's a good thing she died, she was quite a bitch." She was talking about my mother. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend talking to his mom about me. It sounded like they were planning something for me, like a marriage. They were planning how to break up with me. FML
Today, at the airport, my mom began talking about how useless the war in Iraq was, and how dumb the soldiers that serve there were for enlisting during the war. The soldier at the vending machine near us caught my eye. I mouthed, "Sorry" and he mouthed, slowly, "You fuckin' better be." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Be cool. If you died and they got any money, wish they enjoy it so much they can overcome living with the guilt and remorse of ever considering your death to nurture their greed.

Yeah you're right, I'm sure Marines' basic is way harder than becoming a Ranger (i.e. Army Basic, Airborne School, and then Ranger School.) Prick.

As a service member myself, that's pretty horrible. Make sure you don't elect either of them on your SGLI.

Don't give it to them. You can give it to anyone you want, in what ever percentages you want. The max Life Insurance you can have through DoD is 400,000. You will also get 100,000 if you die in combat. Give your Mom and sister as little as 1%. However much you want to give to other people are up to you. They no longer have to be family members. But you will need their personal information. I have mine set up to give all of it to my daughter, but it goes into a trust fund until she is 25 or graduates college, in which case it will be broken down from age of graduation to 25. Say she graduates at 22. She will get 33.3% for 3 years. AND....Rangers are *******. De Oppresso Liber!!!

Serves you right for going Marines instead of Army. No, jk jk... As for your story, been there, done that. Very simple solution... leave the money from your SGLI to someone else.

#7, it doesn't matter what they said they'd spend the money on...the fact that they were talking about it is what matters
