Im a grown up military bratMy 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
When we lived there the Berlin wall was still standing and Communism was still inforced. It was really scary going to the border towns seeing the fences etc, knowing that families were seperated. My mom went back to Germany,for a visit this summer and wow has it changed 
the Bx also,expanded. Do you guys still have a youth center to hang out at? back in my day we called them the DYA (dependant youth center) we went on trips all over Europe with them, skiing in Italy, Swizterland, Germany, tours of towns etc.. I imagine they have something similar state side?
any one can Pm me and I'll be happy to talk w ya 5disneyfreaks said:I thank you for that reply. I am big ol linemans' mom. I have give it up to all you military brats. (past and present) I know it is hard on you. This has been a very hard year for us. ( I promise, I won't go into detail) My husband is in Korea right now and will be home in 45 days.
Anyways, keep your heads up and it is good to see that y'all got each others back.
spoiled by grandparents. When she came back my brother ignored her for days.. it was worse when dad came home,now there were 2 people telling him NO etc 
Heck we were not allowed to hang posters etc with out special stuff so as not to damage the walls.When we moved to Germany we had no furniture just "issued" It didn't take long before my mom was ordering stuff from catalogs to make our new home a "home" 
Buddy, I just have to tell you, there is nothing that compares to the Good Old USA!!! You may be on a barren Army Post right now but give it some time. We are not liked in a lot of places any more. I can feel the hair rising on my neck when a foreigner tries to talk down to me. It just isn't going to fly. We fight and die for them to have most of what they have. The French love to give us a hard time in the airport. I have been treated badly and I know people that have had similiar experiences. It's not the World it used to be. Get your History book our and REALLY study it. When You get on your own take some cruises and you will see what I am talking about. Go to Europe and where your ancestors came from, get a sense of your roots. You will have a true LOVE of America and the sacrifice that has made her so GREAT!!!big_ol_lineman said:yall are lucky i mean i would trad a house on the baech to go to like germany or places like that. i stuck and gonna be stuck in the states
allisophie said:we lived in Graf, I went to school in Vilseck (middle school) then in 10th grade I went to school in Nurnburg and lived in the dorms with kids from Amberg,Vilseck,Bamberg. It was a big high school, Sadly it's no longer a highschool, since they built a new one in Vilseck.
Graf is a training facility,near the Checz border,my dad was in the HHC 7th ATC.. funny how I can remember that and forget our phone number

CASTAWAYCAYCUTIE said:when we left scott we were haveing to drive around the base to get to an open gate as the one that was really close to us was closed for reconstuction. when did they redo the BX and Commissary? when i was there the BX had just moved to its new location of right next to the commissary and with the new food court and stuff.
and yeah htey have youth centers well i go to the teen center but w/e i went to a dance the other night there it was fun! yeah ive heard about the trips to places. i signed up to go on one that was caving and gokarting in luxembourg and then like a really big zoo or water park in germany somewhere. i got waitlisted though and too many people signed up...
