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.

Or, you are sixteen and ride your Harley to the main gate, wearing, over your high school Army ROTC uniform, a "Marlon Brando" style leather jacket complete with two stars on each shoulder, AND you have the blue officer sticker on the bike. The AP on the gate is only two years older than you are and nearly breaks his arm saluting you and never asked for your ID card
Then you notice in your rear-view mirror the "regulation" Blue Ford with an Eagle for a front license plate is right behind you.. As you drive off, you see, in the mirrors, the young AP snapping salutes and pointing towards you as he, apparantly, explains to the Base Commander that a Major General just entered the base.

... if you remember "blackout" shades on your windows which you pulled down when the air raid sirens went off.

If you remember getting the monthly Ration Coupon Books and sitting down with your parents to "swap" their candy coupons for your butter, stockings, etc. coupons.
