Military Children Life

Display mode:

so my novel focuses on a love story and a span of 20 years of 2 military brats. They meet at the same base from 16-17 and then get separated and life focuses on them coming back together, meeting each other again and such.

Can anyone give me a run down (as much or as little info as you want) about the life of a military child? The feelings? Any advice at all would be great.

I grew up a military kid. So message me if you'd like information, it would take too long to write it on here right now.

Even though imawesome probably has a lot of better information for you, I'll tell you what I know anyway. My history teacher was a military child and he talks about his life a lot. He moved around with his family to wherever his dad was stationed (his dad was in the army branch). When he was little, he grew up in Japan on a military base with his family. He said that life was harder for his parents and older siblings then it was for him, because he was so young. Adjusting to the different cultures was hard for his older brother--his brother was originally born in Ireland--but it didn't really effect him.

I'd imagine that it would be harder for your characters, depending on how much they moved around and how drastic of a geographical change they have to undergo. Adjusting to the culture and blending it is probably the hardest.

Hope I was able to help a little bit :)
