Thanks all for the reply.
after a bit of research I think that I am about 98% confident that In-Laws are not considered to be "Immediate Family"... I have found a few references to back up that idea. About.com had an article on How the NAVY considers immediate family relationships and it was explicit that "In-laws are not considered immediate family members to the service member simply do to their status as 'in-laws'"... And there was another that explained that "Immediate Family" includes Parents, siblings, wife, children and anyone who may have raised the service member 5 years prior to the investigation, which may incorporate grandparents and step-parents/foster-parents.
Besides that I stopped by the recruiting station and managed to catch the station chief. He said that he hasn't heard anything on the wire about issues regarding my situation... and I guess he was particularly interested since I am going into CT...
Again... thank you all... I can kind of take a small breather.
