Sure, but the tatoos are stated to demonstrate what generation military you are, by the number of crib father initials. Does it just...stop counting when a military family earns a husband? And you stay \\\"third generation\\\" forever, with the \\\"crib father initials\\\" actually denoting great-great grandfathers? And can you then start the clock again by reentering the military? So a sixth generation tatoo doesn\\\'t have to mean consecutive generations, but just generations ever? Could work, but seems awfully vague and confusing for something so---utilitarian. I initially figured it was so military families who produced a son could avoid incest when they swapped brothers with someone, but I may be overthinking it, I guess.
