Do you think that the life has had a negative impact or has it made you or your kids better people? Is living on post/base better as far as the schools and feeling safer? Does it make matters so much better with them being around other kids that are going through the same thing with having a parent gone?
 
oh absolutely, having another person to connect with in your same situation is always better! Same will go for you to, thats why staying on post is better! Depending on where you are going, its safer too! But as for being in the military and how you or they turn out, depends on the person. I personally think it has a negative affect cause my children never get to see their dad and it just build tention!
 
I was a military brat when I was younger. There were some perks and some not-good experiences. When I was little my dad got stationed at a small base in the netherlands that didnt have on base housing or a school. They would have paid for us to go to an international school but it was like over an hour away. So instead we went to a local school and I got behind because everything was taught in Dutch and I spoke English and when we got back to the US I had to start first grade a whole year late cause they didnt think I was ready. I think that was unfair. We lived on a base in Maryland and it was alot of fun. You can do everything on base. But the house was small. Really small.

My dad left the military a few years ago.
