Check out our NEW website . . .

Military Brats Online

Our "new" and improved website has everything you need
to re-connect with your Military Brats friends and heritage.

"Invisible No More."

Sound Off!
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're a teen age girl and the MP at the gate won't let the townie boys in without calling your Dad for permission.

    You're a teen age girl and go to the USA club and the guys won't talk to you because they are in your father's company.

    You go to the base and see a parade and start to cry because you can picture you Dad marching the boys and calling cadence.

    You go to the Cemetary at Ft. Sam in San Antonio and the markers name a lot of the parents of people you have known including your own parents, a couple of uncles, etc.

    Your Grandchildren can't understand why you have chill bumps when you see a convoy while you are wondering which war they are traing for now.


    Your "babysitters" were usually the single G.I.'s who worked for your father.

Re: You Might be a Military Brat if . . . (Re: vann)

    You wore combat boots to high school before it was cool

    You found it odd that other children didn't fly their remote controlled airplanes on the airstrip

    You now brag about how much fun you had at Oktoberfest when you were 8

    You have to repress the urge to run up and hug anyone you see in uniform

    You find typical American stereotypes of other cultures odd

    Your first set of flash cards was a deck of armored vehicle regognition cards

    You had more than one stuffed animal dressed in fatigues

    Other people find it difficult to pronounce the names of things you own
