Ok...who up in here grew up or was raised as a "military brat"? How can u explain growing up like this? Did u like it? Hate it? How did u adjust to new places and new people? Where do u tell people ur from?
Ok as for me....my dad was in the Navy for 27 years (dayum) and he jus retired this past May. I can truly say that i would NOT like to raise my children like this. Yes being a military brat has its pros: visiting new places........, but other than that i didnt like it. I developed the mindset at a very early age-dont ever get too close to somebody cuz either u or them can up and leave one day.It was alright seeing new places and taking roadtrips n shyt....but moving every 1-2yrs, new schools, new neighborhoods-new states, no family-It can be devastating.On top of that, having ur parent gone for days-weeks-months (my dad missed the births of both my brothers due to his deployment), can do some damage too. I understand that someone has to fight for this...country....but dayum. I hardly ever got to see my grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins-due to us moving all the time and how far away we are from them. But since i have been in the state of VA the longest-i claim it to as to where im from, even though i was born n raised (for 2yrs) in that DirTy dirtY (Birmingham, AL).
Ok im done......sorry this is an off the wall post.......i jus be typing mad stuff late at nite. 8)
i was a military brat, my mom did 24 years in the navy and dad did 10 in the airforce. I loved getting to see so many places and meet all kinds of different people, but like VCU i would not raise my children like that because i never got to make good friends because everyone knew that somebody was always gonna be moving. and with my mom and dad in two different branches of the service i never got to live with both and after they divorced me and my little sister were forced to bounce around between the two of them. i was born in Shreveport, Louisiana lived there for about 2 years, but i claim Maryland as my home.
My dad was in the army for like 20 something years. It sucked. My childhood friends are long gone. i didn't move a lot, but everyone around me did. my dad was stationed at fort bragg for like forever so i claim N.C. My pops was missing from a lot of important childhood events, even my birth. i definetly would not raise my children in the military lifestyle.

i am a military brat. my dad is still in the army. i dont hate this way of life but i wouldnt want my kids to live like this. since both of my parents are divorced and one being enlisted and the other not i moved more then the average military brat. i liked seeing and living in different places but i didnt like it when the army sent my dad to iraq right before my high school graduation (daddys girl).
we are currently stationed in fort benning ga and this is where we have been the most and where my mother is from so i say i am from GA and obviously i rep GA to the fullest
what the hell, that's the dumbest stereotype i've heard in my entire life...
just b/c some was raised in the military does NOT make us rich... that's a load of b/s

HEY :!: Whoa :!: Calm down. MAKE LOVE NOT WAR. MY bad if you aren't rich. really what I meant was "well off". at least you should be since you have parents that fight for America. No offense. Stop being a brat :!: <---another joke!! See? HAHA :?:
Naw, really I'm sorry. That was a blanket statement which I meant to make. But since you shouldn't make excuses for ignorance, I won't waste my time.
