Serving Military Brats Since 1995!"
Check out our NEW website . . .
Our "new" and improved website has everything you need
to re-connect with your Military Brats friends and heritage.
"Invisible No More."
|
Whether you have just found the Sound Off! message boards or have been a long-time member,
please consider our NEW website, Military Brats Online.
The new website has been getting rave reviews from everyone--it's a real online community and much closer to the
original vision I had for bringing Military Brats together.
Military Brats Online has discussion groups and personal blogs, your own photo gallery,
private messages, Chat room and MANY other exciting features,
including advanced searching so it's easy to find fellow Military Brats.
But what about Sound Off!--Will it remain available?
The Sound Off! message boards will remain active for a while, but will be archived later this year. We have not been able to integrate the
Sound Off! system into the new website as the two website systems are not compatible.
Once you join Military Brats Online, you can go to "groups" and copy over as many of your discussion messages as you would like and keep the
discussion threads going. Remember, your user ID and password for Sound Off! will NOT automatically work on the new website. You will need to sign up on Military Brats Online
and create a new profile.
While Sound Off! has been very popular with many Military Brats, it has been a very limited message board
system and the new website will offer far more features for re-connecting. I believe you will see that in the
long run, the new website is a huge improvement and it is highly interactive.
I am truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and I thank you for your support of Military Brats Online.

....you cried when the Berlin Wall went up because you truly understood what it meant -- and you cried again, for joy this time, when it came down, and you were surrounded by civilians who didn't understand.

....you were one of six military brats in a high school of several hundred in the deep south in 1963 ..... and you wept when President Kennedy was killed, and the other students cheered ...after all they had been taught to hate what he was trying to do for integration. It was your first lesson in the difference in how you saw the world compared to your civilian schoolmates--and how it set you apart from them.

you might be a military brat if you call grocery shopping "going to the commissary" and going shopping as "going to the BX" (or "PX" if you are army).
You also might be a military brat if you still say, "yes, sir" to your father.

... if you even know what a Quartermaster is.
|
.....you know the difference between an Army and a Navy quartermaster!!
