Brat: Def: (1) An unruly child Def: (2) A child of the
military We wear the Brat name with pride. Those who argue
that the term is demeaning simply don t understand. Once a
Brat, Always a Brat is not intended to be a serious study of
children of the military. It is neither an apology nor a
rallying cry for our unique experiences. While some of my
fellow Military Brats, missionary kids, children of the
diplomatic corps, oil company employees offspring and others
raised outside their home country may find similarities in
my narrative, I must emphasize that the first part of this
book is based solely on events transpiring between 1938 and
1958, with comments on how the Military Brat experience
affected my life. Other Military Brats have contributed to
this book, writing about their experiences in their own
words. A Resources section is included for those who are
seeking information about the various organizations who can
offer advice and counsel to our current Military Brats and
their families.
