But just good deals on everyday things can be debated as not the best advantage of a military brat. Katelynn argues that travelling is the best perk of being a military child. “My family has moved ten or more times since I was born and we have seen all 50 states as a family. On top of that I’ve been able to travel to multiple countries.” With the advantage of getting to live all over the world, brats get to meet some phenomenal people and ultimately end up having friends all over.

When we moved to Winchester, the environment was divided. I was

One encounter that influenced my perspective of the world was being a female military brat. It allowed me to explore the different diversities among other people in a variety of states. It also contributed to helping me adapt in different schools. Most of all it opened my views on other military kids in the world that go through similar situations that I’ve experienced.

The Next Generation of Spoiled Brats Many of you know about how the older generations always thought down on the ever so famous Generation Y, or more widely known as Millennials. Most Millennials are well into their 30’s now.

went to a good school, had plenty of friends, and received everything he ever wanted from his parents. To some people, this might seem great, but to others, like Christopher, this life was just not enough.

Diversity has been an integral part of the fabric of my life. Growing up as an Army Brat was very multi faceted. One of the most positive elements was the exposure I received in my schools and on post. My childhood neighborhoods were rich with different cultures, races and religious backgrounds.

Being exposed to these different types of people has prepared me for relations with

My life as a military brat has not always been easy. In the last 19 years, I have moved five different times and dealt with my father deploying for months at a time.

This documentary is very inspirational and it has taught me not to be afraid to go for your dreams even if people do not agree.

What does a 31 year old Iraqi Navy veteran have in common with a 61 year old Air Force brat?

Guy de Maupassant develops Madame Loisel’s character by showing how she changes from being such a brat to a hard working lady.

For example, she says in the story, “For ten francs you can get two or three beautiful roses. That didn’t satisfy her at all.“No, there’s nothing more humiliating than to look poverty-stricken among a

Jones started painting Simons face white and his cheeks red. Simon could feel the paint brush swiping against his face. When Jones started to pull away from me, the rope bounding my ankles was sliced through. Simon slipped the pocket knife into his pocket, then bolted to his feet, swooshed around, and aimed his fist at Paul 's still dazed face. Simon would have normally sprinted away in this situation, but since people were recording this it would just exuberate the whole ordeal. Simon 's
