tlfromva What's the toughest question that you are routinely asked by new acquaintances? If you're a military brat, it's probably, "Where are you from?" For us, it's a loaded question and understanding our unique life experience, where we've been, and provides insight into who we are. In my life, with moving from base to base every 2-1/2 to 3 years, and living in two homes (off- and on-base for each station) in that span of time, with going to 18 different schools through high school, with making and breaking friendships every time we moved... it's made a big difference. If you're a military brat, you understand. If you're a military brat, this may be a film worth watching as it may give you insight into who you are and WHY.
Toni Stephenson As an Air Force BRAT, I experienced the best and worst of military life. My life was strict and structured. I dared not make waves because this would affect Dad's next promotion and career. Shifting from school to school turned me into a shy, insecure person. Friends, home, and life seemed temporary--only worth living for two or three years (until the next move). We, the military brats, were often considered outcasts. Thank you, Donna Musil, for putting together a tremendously moving documentary. The interviews, film clips, home photos, all enlighten the audience about our plight. I understand now that I am not LOST or ALONE.
