Is the father-in-law of an active officer a family member of a soldier?

The father-in-law of an active officer is not a military family.

Specifically, military families refer to lineal blood relatives, spouses, brothers and sisters under the age of 16, or other relatives who have been raised by them since childhood and now have to rely on military life.

Father-in-law and mother-in-law who appear as soldiers are generally not military families in a broad sense. Do not enjoy the relevant priority treatment of military families. But because soldiers can't take care of their wives and children at home, many housework is helped by their parents-in-law. Sometimes they give more than their parents. They are the strong backing of the soldiers. From this perspective, they are well-deserved military families.
