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.

... when you see a child crying as they say good-bye to their daddy as they go off to combat ... and you can't help but get a tear in your eye, for you've been there...
...When they talk about different war sights in high school and you know where they mean, because you've stood there...
... when they talk about tanks and other military vehicles and you've know what it's like to sit in them...
... when there's a new kid in town, and you can't resist the opportunity to welcome them into the community for you know what it's like to be new...
.. when the national anthem is played at a game and it means more to you than just time to play ball....
... 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....

If, when you went to a civilian movie theater for the first time, you were shocked to learn that nobody else was standing up to say the Pledge before the movie.
If you still role down your window when it is close to sunset to listen for the bugle playing so you can stop your car when they lower the flag.
If the first thing you did when you got a new car was to take it to the base to get it checked over by the MP's and the dogs to make sure it was clean before you got a base sticker.

....if you have to pause for a few seconds when someone asks where you are from...
....if those same people eventually get bored or wide eyed as you finally attempt to explain where you are from...
....if no one recognizes your accent no matter where you are living now, as your own accent is an amalgamated version of the many accents you grew up around...
....if you can never get used to NOT hearing fighter jets flying over your house all the time...
