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.

...Dad always knew everything you did on base! (his spies were everywhere!)
...you forgot your ID and had the MP's escort you home to tell your parents.
...you swam in the base pool and watched the Marine dress parade out the window at the same time.
...you saw protestors outside the base gate on the way to school on the bus (Dad was on the first Trident submarine)
...you snuck off to the Marine training obstacle course to play(which we weren't supposed to know existed.)
...2 parents and three kids in a station wagon traveling cross country to your next "home." Dad called this a vacation!!
...you hung out at the youth center with all the other "brats".
...you got dressed up to meet "the boat" and see your dad for the first time in a year!

Hello Jeno. My name is Lori. My dad brought c rations home for perfectly necessary reasons. You might be an army brat if you got a Quarter a boot shined, Half dollar for the brass (no piece rate),
quarter for each piece of item starched and creased to specs. (weekend movie money divided by three kids not including the baby)
I guess taps meant for me dad is on his way home. Then it was played at his funeral. Ironic...but i do like revelie and the cannon fired. Every one should have a blast and a cup of java to start the day.

Like revielle? I learned to hate it in Boot Camp and still do! Whenever I hear it I get a bad feeling.

... you are American, your family is planning a visit (your first one!) to the United States and you wonder if they have bathrooms there. (My brother asked that question in 1963 at the age of 7.)
... you send mail by putting it out for your father to take to work and he brings the mail home from work.
... you are amused by barbed wire fences because they never stopped you as a kid. (We went over them, through them, or under them; whichever was most convenient.)
