Sound-Off! - Topic

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.

... your accent changes to fit in a new geographic location; even after you move, you still leave boxes unpacked; you tell your kids to "police up after themselves"; you sprinkle your speech with foreign words(e.g., "mox nix"(sic) - German for "makes no difference") or gestures(e.g., wave the right palm to the left, Japanese for "no, thanks"); you correct another, that's not a "gun", it's a "rifle" or that's not a "boat", that's a "ship"; you can tell the difference between a Lt. Colonel and a Colonel; .....

If after your father has been out of the service for over 20 years and you have been married with your own children for 18 years, you still refer to a car as a vehicle;you look at your childs patent leather shoes and tell her they could us a "spit shine"; a part of you still wants to stand up for the National Anthem when the lights go down in a movie theater; And my personal favorite, only a military brat would get misty eyed when you pass a convoy of military vehicles filled with soldiers on the highway.
