When I say military family, I mean all members of the military community (like communicating with military buddies, your own family, etc). I was trying to capture what I perceive as the essence of the military, and that is a very brotherly, family like relationship. Shall I make that more clear within the survey?
Ultimately what we are trying to do is make a one stop shop for the military to communicate among all of their contacts. You mentioned that you usually opt to use email and cell phone to communicate with family and friends, while you use other methods to communicate with military buddies. We would like to make it possible for all members of the military community to communicate on one platform that is both free and convenient, with features like voice and video chat, photo upload, and a message board.
