I loved this thread but left it too early due to the fact that the site was being put under pressure by ... who knows.
The main reason for the post was to get us together as some kind of cohesive group, even if it was only online somewhere. I think we possess qualities that others don't and can't understand.
I have been wondering if we can do something productive with a group of dedicated Brats. We were born Military. Not many can understand the value of that. Please respond if you think the same way. Perhaps we can get "something" going.
How about considering "Brat Towns" where we can gather and travel. It is brought up later in the post...

My dad was a "lifer" in the USN. I spent my childhood moving and uprooting. As a consequence I move all the time even now as an adult. A friend I met is the opposite; he refuses to move for almost anything.
I recently read an article talking about Military Brats being an American subculture.

I had a friend who was a missionary's kid (MK). She uses the term third culture, meaning we spent our childhoods outside of our parents culture.

I have rarely met other brats. When I do it is awesome to be with someone who understands.
I am wondering who else on here is a Brat? I would love to hear from you!
