Me looking up “predicate nominative” to understand a @maklelan.bsky.social video explainer and then wondering where in my education I missed terms like this. And yep, I attended 4 schools in 3 states/1 overseas location from 6-8 grade. #MilitaryBrat
Being the youngest, smallest and most fearless had drawbacks!

#Militarybrat #Armybrat #Airforcebrat #Navybrat #Marine (did I miss anybody? ) should be concerned if you were born at a overseas post.
I like to think that being super organized allows me to be efficient and effective in my life.

Ah, OK. I am a #Militarybrat so a different school At MOST every 3 years. Probably 7ish schools for that time period, not one every year. But we were in the same situation so we made friends knowing they would go. Civilians were different, since I hadn't lived there they ignored me
I lived in / worked in Annapolis for a while. It was an interesting city. My biggest take away from being a #MilitaryBrat is that I see the world and the cultures in the world much differently than people I run into that have never travelled. The world isn't as black and white as they think it is
Happy Holidays #Military #ServiceMembers 🫡#Veterans 💜#GoldStarFamilies ❤️🩹 🫂

I don't understand why American citizens don't believe that there were native American-born military brats in Vietnam during the war.
Several were killed and never came home.
My sister Elizabeth was born and killed in Vietnam.

So many questions without answers.
My first story was a sappy melodramatic play about a kid who ran away from home that was an assignment in 6th grade GT class. Looking back, it was terrible writing, but it lit a fire. #Storytime #MilitaryBrat #WriterLife
I’m a #militarybrat. My dad would be so upset. I can’t believe what he is doing to our country

I miss the firework shows on base while I was growing up. July 4 was always spent as a family celebrating the promise made almost 250 yrs ago. Tell me about your favorite memories or traditions. #IndependenceDay #HolidayMemories #MilitaryBrat
@mrlamontking.bsky.social if you’re son is gonna have a college degree why not go into the Air Force? He’ll enter as an officer with a degree. #knubia #urbanview #urbanviewmornings #military #militarybrat

Canadian Armed Forces Day 2025
I had not realized till minutes ago that here in Canada it's "Armed Forces Day". This was an embarrassing and unconscionable oversight by this proud "Brat".

It’s nice to see some politicians willing to put their career on the line, while they take away benefits for those who are willing to put their lives on the line.

This is true. Trauma is often passed down. Ask any #MilitaryBrat.
I was raised in the Royal Canadian Air Force, so it should come as no surprise that I went to the opera in my hi-gloss military dress shoes. #militarybrat
My vision loss was likely caused by Agent Orange. #visionloss

I took a class called "The Bible as Literature" when I was in an overseas #militarybrat high school. Very cool course, but I could also take classes in other religions. Just for the record, the bible could have used a good editor. What a mashup.
Purple up! April is the month of the military child! We appreciate the important role and sacrifices of military children.

#Racism hung out in the periphery of my experiences as a youth in the #south because of my privileged / sheltered life as a #militarybrat. #Privilege also meant I believed the lies that folks didn’t “see color”, and that thinking would “solve” the residuals of racism. Was I ever #naive.
It happened a month ago but am only seeing videos on socials now 🤷🏻♀️.
Anyways my #militarybrat & #diplobrat breatheren are protesting Trump too.

I got drafted (#19) in late 1971 but opted for USN. Nice to meet another ex #militarybrat . My dad was a USAF fighter pilot. I can confirm how serious the USN was about signals security back then.
Ohhh wow… I spent a few years @ Norfolk #MilitaryBrat
Could this impact military children born overseas?

A privilege of growing up a #militarybrat was the diversity of the world I lived in. In the 60s, my schoolmates came from every "racial" background & mix, proving to me that the Good Old Southern #bigotry I was being marinated in at home was baseless BS.
This admin is marinating us in baseless BS.
