We’ve all heard the term “military brat” before. It pertains to those children who grew up in military families. “Brats” wear the name like a badge of honor, often because of the moves, stressors and cultural experiences that make them more resilient than their civilian counterparts. When Miss Laura started writing music and books for military story time kids (while her husband served as a Naval Oral Surgeon on NAVSTA Great Lakes), she asked the parents what they thought about their kids being called ‘Brats’. Her audience was tots to kindergarten age, and the parents agreed that ‘Brat’ was a term that didn’t really relate at those ages. So ‘Military Child’ came to life in Laura’s music, stories, and books. ‘Yes, I Am a Military Child’ is not an attempt to draw away from being a “Brat”, it’s simply a ‘warm-up’ to the badge of honor of the title that connotes affection and respect. This book is a sing-along to two of the songs on Miss Laura’s special music CD ‘Miss Laura & the Military Brats’ available on YouTube, Amazon, etc. Scan below to listen. Check out Miss Laura’s special ‘Military Child, That’s Me!’ t-shirts, too! Scan below to purchase! Thank you so much for being a part of the magic that is all things ‘Miss Laura’. I hope you really come to love the illustrations painted by Dominique, as she is a true Military Brat. Thank you for buying this book and have a ton-of-fun filling in the special pages in the back! -Miss Laura

With hundreds of thousands of current and former military brats in the United States, their lives as children of service members are surprisingly little documented. Reading about the experiences of fellow brats can help these children of warriors understand both themselves and the unique world in which they were raised. Learning of the challenges that these children face will also help the general population consider how to honor and to help those whose lives were shaped by the military without volunteering or being drafted. This book explores the military brat experience as reflected in novels intended for adults, adolescent fiction, autobiographies and biographies, and highlights the common elements: frequent moves, the ever-present sense of danger, the potential loss of the service member, and isolation from the larger civilian world. By understanding the lives of brats, we can better understand the very real costs--beyond the lives of service members themselves--that families bear in the name of our collective freedom and security.

As a military brat, I believed life on the post was how everyone lived. I lived in authoritarian atmosphere where I was expected to be adaptable, resilient, and cooperative. Growing up in a military family would turn out to be a very rewarding experience. Although, at times it was stressful and complicated with the many moves, the temporary friends, and being forced into different cultures every few years, I still found our way through the trials and became grateful for my upbringing. From the camaraderie in my communities to the secrets kept in my house, I would be bound together with other Military Brats by the lessons I learned and the skills I acquired. My experiences as a child would collide with the world outside of the military's borders.

After World War II, American political, military, corporate, and humanitarian responsibilities abroad expanded greatly. With families in tow, government officials, military service personnel, business executives, and missionaries began to travel and live, in increasing numbers, outside of their home country. Other nations followed suit. Ender examines this legacy of the late 20th century and analyzes the social, psychological, and historical imprints on people who came of age in these service organization families. Such international experiences impose specific demands on employees, their spouses and their children. These include relocation, risk of death or injury, family separation, and social controls on behavior. This collection contains thirteen essays by researchers studying children, adolescents, youth, and adults in a service organization family context, including the military, the State Department, international educators, and non-governmental organizations. The studies integrate research from sociology, psychology, child and adolescent development, family studies, and communications.

This memoir of an American teenager coming of age in 1960s Vietnam “is a rip-roaring historical snapshot of a capitol teetering on the brink of war” (Rick Frederickson, Vietnam Magazine). In 1962, when US Navy Chief Petty Officer Bryant Arbuckle brought his wife and three sons to his new post in Southeast Asia, Saigon was a vibrant, dirty, exciting, and perilous metropolis filled with exotic temptations. Young Leslie Arbuckle was fourteen at the time. A fearless and inquisitive American boy, he was eager to explore the city’s forbidden wonders, from its bustling black market to its late-night brothels. The new world surrounding him was intoxicating, and he enthusiastically drank it all in. But Saigon in the mid-sixties was a lit powder keg about to explode, as an expanding war in the Vietnamese countryside began creeping closer. For Les, an exciting overseas lark would soon turn darker and more dangerous. Instead of running from angry street vendors, he found himself fleeing machine gun fire and witnessing the self-immolation of Buddhist monks protesting a corrupt political regime. As life went on within the confines of the US military compound, Les watched the city dissolve into chaos on the other side of the barbed wire. At once vivid, funny, beautiful, and frightening, Les Arbuckle’s Saigon Kids is an unforgettable evocation of a unique adolescence spent in a strange and volatile world—a remarkable memoir of growing up American on the edge of a war zone.
