So, playing around with Wikipedia, I clicked a link to a page about 'military brats'. That's basically what we call kids whose parents have been in the military. And... so many memories come rushing back into my mind. It mentioned all the things that 'are typical in a military child's life'. Moving (definitely), no hometown (definitely), hard time keeping friendships (definitely), ect. I could relate to everything it said. And just yesterday, my pastor revealed that he was a military brat. It's so strange when I find out people out in the civilian world that have lived the same life I did, and I feel like... an instant kinship to them.
The rush of emotion is all the memories I'm thinking of... and since the last years my dad was in were the most painful, it makes me want to cry a little. I've tried forgetting most of it, but it's so clear... well, it wasn't all a bad experience, but remembering my time in Hawaii, it makes me feel weird.
I have to say though, the thing I loved most about the military is there's little racism, at least not a lot. No matter what your background is, people really make good bonds with everybody, since 1)the military's made up of a bunch of different people, 2)we tend to live overseas at least once in our lifetime, 3)there's also a lot of mixed races, because lovers found their lovers overseas. xD Anyway, just felt like getting this out, I suppose.
