And yet another Air Force brat

Air Force Brat here. Mom remarried an Air Force guy when I was 4. We were originally stationed at Travis AFB CA, then went to Germany. We were at Ramstein for 6 years. Lived offbase in a town called Steinwenden the whole 6 years. It's weird to find people who know where Trier is! Anyway, we then went to Eielson AFB in Alaska, and I graduated high school in Hawaii while stationed at Hickam. I'm now back in California going to college. I'm going back to see my Mom and Step-dad in a couple weeks. My step-dad got back from Iraq (he was on ghost patrol even though he's a war planner) a couple months ago and my brother-in-law gets back from Korea in 5 days. He and my sister are both active duty Air Force. They just came from Eglin in January and are now at Travis. My sister and I drove all the way from Eglin to San Francisco in 3 days. Her husband as been on a remote for almost a year now, so I did the drive with her. Anyway, that's the military low down. I hate living off base now though. Almost a year and I'm still not used to it.

    I hear ya...the first 23 years of my life was military! My dad is retired army, and I'm a Navy vet! Actually, I was in and out of the Navy before my dad was out of the army...I've been civilian for 9 years now, and it's still weird...

    I am a Cali native...my dad joined the Army when I was 2, and we used Cali as our home base, going back for vacation everytime dad had leave...and then I was all over the state from '93 until last may, when I moved to Kansas City...where in Cali are you? I miss it...I'm going back for a vacation in June...

    I graduated High school in Nurnberg Germany...I went to elementary school in HI, though...:)
