[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP will hate me.

I was a military brat and we moved to a new base every three years. The bases were mostly in Central Europe, so that was fun, but the actual housing was nothing fancy *at all* as any military family can attest. My family was, and still is, solidly upper lower middle class.

When people ask me where I'm from, I just say "I grew up in Europe," which is 100% true, and seem much more glamorous than I actually am. [/quote]

Awesome!  I know many self described military brats who are vague about where they are from, and I always wondered why. They grew up on base, amongst Americans, in military apartments. DP here. [/quote]

I'm PP. There are a few reasons for the vagueness: Not wanting to sidetrack the current conversation topic is usually my reason. What is fun is when two brats find accidentally find each other at a dinner party. Then the discussions of where we grew up can be incredibly detailed: Country, base, street and even specific building.[/quote]
