Im a Navy brat, who married into the Navy. Just couldn't stay away.
The hardest thing about going from one base to the other, is you never really have a chance to settle down and make friends in that area. Children become friends with other Military brats fast, especially if their parents are serving together on the same ship, boat, ect.
The hardest struggle is that the family member who is serving, isn't always there. When you are in the military, military is first - than family. Its the way it works. You don't have much of a two parent household. But thats all you know. So it really doesn't make a difference.
You don't know if their lives are going to change because that is their life. Thats all they know.
It will be an adjustment when you get out of the military.
On the second hand, every child's experience with this is different.

The biggest problem they have is making new friends.
The schools on base are uniform so the most they might miss is
during the travel time from base to base.
For the most part, there is no cultural problems do to the fact
that there are only a few foreign bases where families can go.

I don't know if you can call it struggles. more like major adjustments that need to be made. every time they move they need to adjust to new schools, friend, a new house...etc. If they move far enough away, then they may have a cultural barrier to overcome. these kids are usuallly called brats, because most other kids wish that they could move around all the time, when really it isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I'm not sure that it is always a struggle for them, other than they have to get used to different cultural changes, different schools, and places to live.
I see that it is a good thing in that it teaches them flexibility, and they can easily adapt to different situations and it also teaches them diversity.
