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 park your car by the side of the road to watch the jets take off at the nearby air base many years after you used to sneak as close to the flight line as possible to watch the jets take off when you were a kid living on the base.

I would add:
If you can sleep thru the B-52's and B-58's taking off at 2AM when your temporary quarters were 50 yards from the flight line..
Then, thirty years later, your "civilian" wife wakes you up at 8AM on a Saturday asking: "What's that god-awful roar outside?".. Sleepily, you listen to the B-52's taking off from the AFB, about a half mile away and reply: "That's the sound of peace." and go back to sleep.

... when someone has a p-38 on their key ring,they tell you that you have no idea what it is or how to use it. You get a can and open it in seconds flat. Of course you know how to use it, as a kid you had to practice in the bomb shelters at school, just in case....

Forty-two years "removed" from being an "Active Duty Brat" and I still carry a P-38... Just in case ;-}

Good one, I used to go up on the flight line at Ashia Air Base in Japan and watched the crippled planes coming in from Korea in 1950 - 1952. They would fly out supplies and fresh troops and bring in troops for R&R. Saw a lot of air disasters but we would hug that ground as close as we could get. Your comment brought back a lot of memories that I wouldn't change for anything so I guess I can really say that I was and I am and I always will be a Military Brat.

Your comment on Ashia brought a lump to my throat.. my Dad was assigned to a combat unit and flew C-119's (Dollar Nineteens) out of Ashia to Korea.. in the first part of the "conflict" he carried US Army Paratroopers, later in the "conflict" he was carrying US Soldiers in body bags back from Korea..
You probably watched him talking off and landing several times..
