I'm now 40, and up until that last 3 year never would have thought anything was missing. My parents were both great so I have no complaint about that. Still, there are some things missing and other strengths that I've developed because of my background. What are some of your experiences?

I hated the whole moving around all over the place. So much so that it influenced the man I married, I don't know if I would've married him had he worked for a large company, the government, or especially the military. He owns a small business, and we've lived in 2 houses our entire marriage of 19 years, I think I had lived in 2 houses before I was 3. While those experiences gave me lots of unique experiences, and probably made me the outgoing people person I am today, I enjoy roots. People ask me where I'm from, and I say that I grew up a military brat, and so my hometown is here where I currently live.
My kids hate that we've only lived in 2 houses, my daughter wants to get as far away from here as she can as soon as she graduates from high school next May. LOL

I can connect with people quickly, but not permanently. I can't make unbreakable bonds, or become too attached because there's always the possibility that you will have to move on, or they will have to move on, or worst of all, that they won't come home one night. But I can pack a 6 room house and 3 kids into a Volkswagen and still have room for the dog...... I can make a bed so tight my Dad could bounce a quarter off it that would hit the ceiling .... I can shine shoes and polish brass with the best of them cause it gave me time with my hero....
