Today I am visiting with Marc Curtis on his blog, http://www.militarybrat.com/bratblog.cfm. about our mutual heritage and my book about being an army brat from my birth in 1938 to my father's retirement in 1958.
Yes, I'm old. But that's something unique to myself.....that at the tender age of 8, I received my very own orders from The War Department to join my father in Seoul, Korea, right after WWII. Therein began my years as a global nomad. Something I wouldn't trade for anything.....at least, not now. At the time, I'm sure I felt some sense of alienation when I arrived at a new school, but I didn't know any other way to live. It was only after I was "retired" that I realized other people lived in the same town, in the same house, had relatives around them all their lives....and I hadn't.
But to read more about this lifestyle, go to Marc's blog and read all about it. I am so grateful to Marc for establishing a registry for military brats to find each other -- to reconnect with lost classmates from all over the world.
So, brats, go register! You might not be looking for anybody specifically,but somebody may be looking for you!
