Being a military child is probably the most tough thing that gets int he way of my life as a growing young woman. i had a crush, had to leave them, got another one, had to leave them. i found another and now i will be leaving them again. also get attached to my school and friends. the most heart breking thing to leave them. then they forget you, and the cycle repeats over and over. im tired of it.
I'm very blessed my Mom moved to California when she did so I never had to experience moving all over the world. California is paradise for the Military Family because of that program where you get to work and live in California and get all the Benifits of Active Duty.
I am 53 years old and a Military Brat. I am also conducting research about the Military Brat Identity for my Thesis. I hope all of the military families are safe and happy. Give someone a hug today! A special hello to my namesake Ricky Bustos! Lou Bustos
i'm 12 now thankfully I've only moved around 3-4 since i spent my first 6 years of life being in Florida before going to England, Guam, California, New York, Japan etc.
I dont know if I could do that to my kids. I dont have guts lol. But the emotional stress on the kids and fear. My oldest cries alot a.d worry so much that her mom will be killed. She hardly sees her at all and it has impacted her in many ways.
It’s a lot of trauma no one talks about. One base everyone knew your parents could be dead or you knew everyone you knew and love could be gone. I’m living civilian life for 8 years in one place and it feels like my life living on base with those are kids are gone, it just faded away. There’s so many people I’ve met and loved but now I can’t even remember them
Kids don't go overseas with few exceptions, let's say Ramstein AFB In Germany. It's really not much different to your average military base, and I have been to Ramstein, and it is very similar to the military bases in the US, so those kids usually are quite normal and like any brats that you would see in the states, so it probably wouldn't be much different.
@@silascooper6827 my manz, I've lived only 2 of my 17 years of life in the states, this is the same with alot of my friends. The last time I visited my extended family was 4 years ago. We live all over the world all the time, it's really not that uncommon
@@juicygoosy7150 Really? This comment came from an Air force perspective, so it's probably much different for me and the people that I have met, what branch are your parent(s)? I have moved throughout the states, but not outside the states, and in time I have only met one person who had moved oversea's, who had army parents. I didn't know how common it was, thank you for educating me.
@@silascooper6827 Air Force brat here as well. Military bases with kids are in Germany, England, Japan, etc. most places with large bases. For sports events, we usually go against kids who are from other bases. There’s whole networks of kids who have been to and from various over seas bases. If you move a lot, chances are you’ll see someone you know twice at least once.
