Are any of you military brats?

My mum and dad were both in the navy, mainly based at Devonport. My sisters and I spent most of our time in a boarding school for the sproglets of serving personnel, but I did have fun with the other children when we stayed at our parents' (fairly grim) MoD quarters. In the 1990s I had a great three weeks in Cyprus when I made friends with a military policeman who let me walk his dog on the beach 🙂

My Parents were both US Foreign Service and I served for 35+ years in both the US Army and USAF, not sure if that qualifies but I've been to and seen a lot of Bases, FOB's, Consulates and Embassies around the world, more of an FS brat than a Military one but I've known many who were.

I wasn't but I served

I played cricket against a team from Güttersloh in the 80s. We had an interesting evening afterwards 😬

i wasn't a military brat but my dad's job moved the family around a lot. i lived on a base for a couple years overseas once it was tons of fun :)

Not in the formal sense , but my adoptive father was a retired Marine officer . I was raised like a boot, but I didn’t ever have to move .

Been there done that ,,, and when i grew up i joined the military and did the same to my children ,, lol

My parents were U.S. Department of the Army civilians. Stationed near Tokyo. Then Florida.

Ive just messaged you

Yes i was

Does MoD Civilian count?
I lived in a now flattened barrack block behind the wire at
RAF St Athan.

I'm not officially a Military Brat but I did serve nine years in the British Air Force.

I know I was called a Brat
more than once does
that count 😊

I wasn’t a military brat. I was a military child. Best and worst times of my life.

Semper Fi

no

I had a military parent but any moving around as a kid was not because of that
