My father was a soldier and my mother was a great mover. She once counted up how many places she had lived in during the first 25 years of her marriage and it came to 20.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My father and brothers were in the military.
I have family that are vets of the military. My grandfather served as well.
I was in a military family, so by the time I was 13 I'd lived in six different places.
My dad was in the Army, so what was happening internationally and nationally was always important to my family.
I was a military brat; we moved all around.
My dad was in the military. It was difficult sometimes, because he would have to be away a lot, and we would have to move around a lot. Trying to adapt to new schools and new places can be really tough.
My mother went into the Peace Corps when she was sixty-eight.
My father was a military judge, and my mother was a psychiatric social worker. My brother and sister and I were moved around constantly, in and outside the U.S., living in Germany for much of our teens.
My wife was as much of a soldier as I was.
I've lived in 11 states, but I'm not an Army brat. My father couldn't hold a job, so every six months, we'd move.
