Hi everyone,

I received my appointment and accepted as of today, and I am currently working through some of the forms that I have to complete before R-day.
One of these forms is the DD Form 93, which is the record of emergency in case I became deceased during my service in the military.

The question I have is that the sections where it tells you to list your beneficiaries (the $100,000 death gratuity, the unpaid pay/allowances, and the direct disposition [PADD]) state "Military Only." Does anyone know exactly what this entails? Does it mean blood-related/adoptive family members can receive these benefits ONLY if they are in the military (because I have no family members within the military at this point...some used to be but they are either deceased or retired)? I don't want to submit the form without understanding what I am actually signing haha.

Thanks for the help!

I filled out the same forms just the other day, I am in the same boat, no military family what so ever. I put my mother and brother for them and they are both 100% civilian I don’t believe that is any issue

Take a look at the instructions for filling out each block. That may help.

You can designate anyone to receive your benefits. This is also a form you will update during your military career as your PNOK may change.
