A service member's "next of kin"- the closest blood relative aside from covered spouse, parent, son, or daughter-is as follows: blood relatives granted legal custody by a court or statuary provision, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles, first cousins, and those sharing the closest level of familial relationships. Families of service members-including adopted, step, and foster children-of the regular armed forces can take military caregiver leave for up to 26 weeks in a 12 month period.
