Yes. In the military you are eligible for SGLI (Servicemen's Group Life Insurance), which I believe at this point is 200k. This is great, but it takes time to get it to the families. 5-10 grand isn't cutting it for all the things that come crashing down when the primary breadwinner is killed. I think somewhere between what it is now (12.5k I think) and the new propsed amount is about right. Maybe somewhere in the 25-50k range.
