Sure, why not? Maybe I did confuse you, but that wasn't my intensions. Just because you and your Family members have gone and taken the FCC exam for your Amateur Radio Licenses. does not mean you have to give up using your GMRS license. I look at each radio service available to the average citizen, whether it's licensed s or license by rule, they are all valuable tools that families need consider, when staying in touch with family members can seem impossible, due to Cell Towers and Landline systems are tied up or down all together. Practice without drilling, meaning use your radios on Family outings, road trips or vacation, this way your family is already doing what has to be done, when the time comes.
Well, I'm going stop here, because you can figure out what I left out. Or you can tell me to shut up, I won't take offence, after all I kind of ramble on about everything and nothing at times.
Be well!
