I'm not one, but I have met one once.
ONLY ONE.
She was a navy brat, someone in her family (either her parents or her sister) were in the Navy, and she herself was going to go to military school and then she was going on a Tiger Cruise in Hawaii. It was really strange to hear these things, it's just so different to how I live life over here.

 

[big_ol_lineman]

yes the life of a military brat and someone who did grow up in the military is different. some ppl dont think that there is any difference except the word "military". but really how many ppl outside the military moves every 2-4 years at a time. but my family is a little ( ok very different) my sister has an illness that her eyesight is so bad that she was said to be blind but she can see but bearly.for awile we where going to another city for check ups everyother week. the first surgery cost over $90,000 so i gotta thx the military for paying that and the other 5 so yea. i for got how to spell the illness

I'm a Navy Brat.

But not really, since my dad retired from the Navy when I was 5. lol So I've never moved around.

But yeah. Both my dad and my uncle went to the Naval Academy, and my uncle actually just retired last year after teaching at the Naval Academy for 3 years. He's been stationed in San Diego, Canada, Bahrain (it's right near Saudi Arabia), DC, and then finally teaching at the Academy.
I've been down to Annapolis and the Academy so many times, I've lost count.

And my grandpa was in the Air Force, and served during the Korean and Vietnam wars.

Needless to say, I love the military. Can you guess why I'm being a history major? lol

My friends brother works for the Canadian army. I forgot about that. They move all the time. We met him when I was about 5. I remember him and his sister playing badminton outside. They were french, so back then I didn't know it. But I told my brother who is fluent in it and they became friends. It was funny to see about 50 men doing push ups practically in my back yard. They've moved to Quebec about three times, and this summer they moved away for good to Ottawa. They aren't coming back. It was one of the few times I ever saw my brother cry.

 

[big_ol_lineman]

wow im really sorry. i hope you get to see him again soon. i really dont know what to say bc i dont know anyone in the canada military and i dont have a brother so again im sorry

 

[Babyjustrun]

Aww thanks.
It's okay, thank goodness for the internet. That guy was one of my brother's better friends, and the only one I really ever approved of.

 

[tiff13]

I myself am not a brat. Although I think it would be cool to get to move alot. My friend was born in Germany on a base.

Thanks to all you guys and your families for sacrificing.

 

[Sparx]

no. My dad left the service before I was born, but he was in the Air Force during Desert Storm.

 

[MuNkY]

no. My dad left the service before I was born, but he was in the Air Force during Desert Storm.

The biggest route in the history of wars. Lol/

My family has a rich military history. We were at the revolution, War of 1812, Spanish-American War, Mexican-American War, Civil War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam........

Hi
Im a grown up military brat My dad was in the US Army, he retired a LTC. I was born in Ft Jackson SC, my brother New Jersey, my sister Coloumbus Ga. We moved every 3 to 4 yrs, one year I went to 3 different schools.. Missouri, New Jersey and then Germany. We were stationed in Germany for 4 yrs. I LOVED IT! I went away for high school to Nurnburg, since there were no high schools on our post. IT was awseome to be 15 /16 living with all your friends.. The hardest part is moving .. and not loosing touch with your friends.. A few years ago we had a reunion and It was soo much fun to see all of our "old friends" Thanks to the internet we have "found" the old gang the funny thing is most of my friends married Military men/women.. except for me.. I wanted to stay put, but then again we are always traveling/camping so I guess we are still wandering the world

My dad was in Viet Nam for 2 tours and Korea for one,to this day I don't really know what he did while he was serving since he did alot of "spy stuff" or "classified" Once a month I take my mom to Scott AF base so she can go to the comissary and BX

did you know there is a miltary brats web site? if you have time check it out. miltarybratsdotcom


heading to the fort.... Oct 7 14, returning for the holidays.. stayin at the contemporary..Dec 26/Jan 2

 

[big_ol_lineman]

yea i'm movin soon and yea im not really that upset bc i really dont have any friends so yea im cool with it

I myself am not a brat. Although I think it would be cool to get to move alot. My friend was born in Germany on a base.

ok im sorry but the grass on the military isn't greener but there are some pluses but moving from all you friends, starting over, having to start at a new school heck i was homeschooled for my first grade yea and they held me back when we moved and i was going to graduate next year. but now that i'm again homeschooled and that school are willing to take homeschoolers i am going to graduate next year!!! oh sorry i got off track sorry but yea it is ok but it isn't what you think like you are always going to move where you want to. so you could end up in a place like Goodfellow in San Angelo Texas.
AH I HATE IT HERE!!!!!!!! THERE IS NOTHING!!!!! sorry again ok im done

I was a Air Force Brat and we moved every 2 1/2 years. The moving is the hardest thing and your dad being gone, I know what you are talking about...My dad was gone all the time, Korea, thailand, Veitnam, TDY all the time. We had a 3 yr Europe tour and that was great, now that I can look back on it. At the time we missed our grandparents and family terribly. There is a lot of sacrifice on the family and parents. You guys hang in there and study hard. Transferring all the time really hurt me in some respects in school. I raised my family in one place, but I do love to travel. We travel the world and that is my dream that I have been able to live. Back your Mom, give her the support that she needs, one day you will be in my place and know what I am talking about. As Military kids we get a bad rap, noone but us understand us. You keep your heads up and be proud of what your parents are doing and God Bless their Service. They are what lets me lay my head down at night, knowing I am safe.

btw Am I The Only Enlisten Brat In Here?????
