1. Military brat

   A military brat (colloquial or military slang) is a child of serving or retired military personnel. Military brats are associated with a unique subculture and cultural identity. A military brat's childhood or adolescent life may be immersed in military culture to the point where the mainstream culture of their home country may seem foreign or peripheral. In many countries where there are military brat subcultures, the child's family moves great distances from one non-combat assignment to another for much of their youth. For highly mobile military brats, a mixed cultural identity often results, due to exposure to numerous national or regional cultures.Within military culture, the term military brat is not considered to be a pejorative (as in describing a spoiled child), but rather connotes affection and respect.War-related family stresses, including long-term war-related absence of a parent, as well as war aftermath issues, are common features of military brat life in some countries, although the degree of war-involvement of individual countries with military brat subcultures may vary.

1. Military brat

   A military brat describes the children of a parent serving full-time in the armed forces, and can also refer to the unique subculture and lifestyle of American military brats. The term refers to both current and former children of such families. The "military brat lifestyle" involves moving to new states or countries many times while growing up as the child's military family is customarily transferred, along with the soldier-parent, to new non-combat assignments; consequently, many military brats never have a home town. War-related family stresses are also a commonly occurring part of military brat life. There are also other aspects of military brat life that are significantly different in comparison to the civilian American population, often including living in foreign countries and or diverse regions within the U.S., exposure to foreign languages and cultures, and immersion in military culture. "Military brats" are largely viewed by themselves and by those who study them as a "distinct, 200 year-old American subculture", with millions of members. The age of the phenomenon has meant military brats have also been described by a number of researchers as one of the America's oldest and yet least well-known and largely invisible subcultures. They have also been described as a "modern nomadic subculture".

1. Military bratnoun

   Saw somewhere that the term came from the British military dependents that went to India with their military counterpart. It was "British Regimental Attached Transients". I was a Brat starting in 1945 when my father was transferred (post WW II) to Camp Hood (now Fort Hood), Texas. Left dependent status when I graduated from Heidelberg High. in 1953. Still belong to Brats groups and keep in touch with others.

   Military Brats comprise a unique culture that generally are flexible and able to adjust to different environments and cultures with a high degree of ease.
