If you don't think that at least one of Honor Harrington-Alexander's young siblings is going to be Navy-mad, you are smoking something quite high quality!
You have noticed the part where they worship the ground she walks on, right?

I'm laughing so hard it's difficult to respond.
I thought this would ruffle someone's feathers.
And believe you me, I feel the same way.
In fact when I consider that their favorite sister is going to be the Salamader, it's hard to imagine both of them not wanting to be like her.
But I was only alluding to my (hopefully just imagined) fear that those certain pesky Grayson Keys will have something to say about it. Since the whole idea behind Alfred and Alison conceiving the sweet little Harrington Salamanders was to appease those same pesky Keys, because Honor had no heirs.
Of course now that Honor and Hamish had Raoul things have changed on that front.
However, if I'm not mistaken (and it'd only surprise the hell out of you if I am) Honor's siblings were born on Grayson. Now I know that shouldn't matter, and it doesn't matter, to me. But those pesky little Keys are not going to want their own to join the Navy. IMHO
And if the Keys didn't raise a stink about it they'll probably insist on three-forths of the available armsmen on Grayson, prompting any kid to not want to leave Grayson.
On that front thank God Raoul was born on Manticore.
I love the Graysons mind you, but some day those Keys are going to catch someone a homicide charge!
It would be me, if I could talk NASA into giving me a ride!
