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 still attend AirShows and wear something from your Dad (i.e. in-country Boonie hat, fatigue hat etc...) I do!
...you point out Airplanes as they pass and can name them.
...always show respect for people in Uniform.

Amen to the part about showing respect for people in uniform!! They are not second-class citizens; they are our protectors and heroes.

 You might be a military brat if... (Re: vann)
|
- if you have to explain to someone what a "Shoppette" is
- if you get excited about your 10th birthday because you get your first military ID card
- if you take it as a given that all the kids in your class have a ID card
- if you go into a panic and even dig in the trash when you realize your ID card is missing and worry about getting back on base/post
- if you know what "OPSEC" means
- if you're changing the radio stations in the car and settle on one because to you it sounds like English when it's actually Japanese
- if you remember listening to the radio broadcasts teaching foreign languages (i.e., "Now remember, 'thank you' in Japanese sounds like 'don't touch my moustache'...")
- if you were shocked in a public elementary school when you found out that not everyone's parents are in the military
- if you remember staying in an airport terminal waiting for Space-A
- if you remember the white walls, sometimes 100% concrete to withstand a typhoon, where you couldn't put holes in
- if you can't imagine how a person can grow up and live in one place for 20, 30, 40 years without living anywhere else
- if you heard of the words "bigotry" and "racism" but never understood the meaning because your friends and classmates were a mix of everything under the sun
- if when you cried on September 11th, you were also silently praying that your husband/wife or your father/mother won't be sent to war because you knew war was now inevitable
