world " when they are no longer on base? I am an army brat of 14 years and even though I hate my stepdad, who is an officer, I do miss living on base and being surrounded by people I had something in common with. I havent lived on a base overseas or in the US for 5 years and I realize, wow, life in the civilian world is tough for people like me. I find it harder to make and keep friends, cant talk about a town I have lived in my whole life, cant relate too much to anything with anyone. It kind of sucks. I would do anything to get back on base I was popular, knew alot of people, had alot of friends, now in the real world, i kind of feel like nobody or out of place. I miss the PX, the commissary, the chatting officers wifes, the Hum V's. Any other military brat find it more difficult in the real world? Perhaps I should have just went into the navy as planned but I ended up backing out because I didnt feel like being controlled. I wanted to live.
