Nancy Brown of YourMilitary.com and I co-hosted our first military brat panel on our BlogTalkRadio show YourMilitaryLife.com. Because we had three people on the panel and we knew they would have a lot to say, we hosted an hour show instead of 30 minutes.
Gregory Lynch and Robin Hall grew up in an enlisted Army family while Patti Cadwallader grew up in an enlisted Air Force family. All three lived part of their childhood outside the U.S. -- Robin in Germany, Patti in the Philippines, Gregory in Thailand -- and they all changed schools numerous times during their childhood.
Hear their own stories of what growing up military means to them.

Military Brats Experience a Different Childhood Than Civilian Children
Donna Musil, founder and executive director of Brats Without Borders and the writer-director of the first documentary about growing up military -- “BRATS: Our Journey Home,” appeared on June 3rd for the second time on the BlogTalkRadio show YourMilitaryLife.com that Nancy Brown of YourMilitary.com and I co-host.
Donna's topic is very important because the question of children who grow up in military families and how this affects their adult life is one that has not gotten a great deal of attention. And, yet, as Donna says, the childhood of "brats," who move from place to place with their military parent, is very different from the children of non-military children.
In fact, I thought one of the most poignant things Donna said was that many of the parents of brats grew up in one town without moving at all in their childhood, so the childhood experience of the parents is much different than that of their children.
On June 10th tune in at 6:30 p.m. Eastern for our first one-hour show inspired by the reaction to Donna's first appearance on YourMilitaryLife.com. We will have three adults who grew up as brats talking about their experiences.
And in the meantime, listen to Donna's June 3rd YourMilitaryLife.com interview in order to better understand the life of the children of military families.
