How common is it for military brats to go to boarding school?
Q. at what age do they tend to go? do they go to a school in their home country or the country where their family is (like an international school)? are there special boarding schools for military children? and why are they sent to boarding school? sorry for all the questions, thanks so much for answering xxx "Military personnel could not afford to send their children to boarding school" Don't they get free school fees or something? because i know loads of military kids at private schools.

A. I lived overseas for 8 years in DODDS schools, which is for American kids from military parents stationed overseas. . No one I ever met ever or heard of over there was sent to a boarding school... and when we lived in the states I attended normal public schools as would any other child. In London we had London Central High School - which had dorms. Kids were sent to live and attend high school there if thier parent was stationed too far away from the school. It was the last overseas military school that did dorming, but it closed down 1-2 years ago.

What is the military family lifestyle like?
Q. I am writing a paper about the lifestyle for a military family with children. I was a military brat and i dont quite remember about all the services. What are the different services used to help the families adjust to the new lifestyle of moving or help through a deployment. Do you think that more could be done or anything should be changed??? Please let me know all your feelings about this... I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

A. Not sure for other services but the Army has ACS (Army Community Services) they can provide lots of assistance when moving. There is also a website called militaryonesource that is excellent as well. It is also up to the family if they want to be involved with other activities on post etc such as the FRG (family readiness group). My sons' school also had a special meeting for children that had deployed parents to help them adjust (he goes to school off post). The whole community around here pulls together. I feel everything is good that way it is. My son loves being a military brat. Kids can adjust to anything if the parents have a good attitude about it.

A. A "military brat" (also known as a "brat", "base brat", "army brat", "navy brat/junior", "marine brat/junior", or "air force brat") is a term for a person whose parent or parents have served full-time in the armed forces during the person's childhood.

how does in state tuition for military dependants work?
Q. From what I know, in state tuition is avalible to people who have lived in the state for most of their lives. Because im a military brat, Ive moved every 2 years since i was about 5 years old. I was born in AZ...and my mom mentioned something about that being my state of residence. Does anyone know how all this works? If so, please explain it to me.

A. It depends on the state...since 9/11, many states have jumped on the bandwagon and started charging military family members the in-state rate versus out-of-state. Contact the school that you want to go to in order to find out state/their policy. Also, check with their financial aid to see if they have anything special for military dependents...one of our crosstown schools gives a break on the tuition.

It is very hard, you don't get the same kind of proms as everyone in the US has, you don't get the same kind of " all-American" experience as the rest of teenagers in the US. However, its an experience I wouldn't trade for anything. I got to see things that normal 13 or 14 y/o's didn't get to experience. I got to immerse my self in different cultures. It broadened my horizon and gave me a global look at the world. It made me a better person.
