Book Description
As a military brat, I believed life on the post was how everyone lived. I lived in authoritarian atmosphere where I was expected to be adaptable, resilient, and cooperative. Growing up in a military family would turn out to be a very rewarding experience. Although, at times it was stressful and complicated with the many moves, the temporary friends, and being forced into different cultures every few years, I still found our way through the trials and became grateful for my upbringing. From the camaraderie in my communities to the secrets kept in my house, I would be bound together with other Military Brats by the lessons I learned and the skills I acquired. My experiences as a child would collide with the world outside of the military's borders.

Book Description
We’ve all heard the term “military brat” before. It pertains to those children who grew up in military families. “Brats” wear the name like a badge of honor, often because of the moves, stressors and cultural experiences that make them more resilient than their civilian counterparts. When Miss Laura started writing music and books for military story time kids (while her husband served as a Naval Oral Surgeon on NAVSTA Great Lakes), she asked the parents what they thought about their kids being called ‘Brats’. Her audience was tots to kindergarten age, and the parents agreed that ‘Brat’ was a term that didn’t really relate at those ages. So ‘Military Child’ came to life in Laura’s music, stories, and books. ‘Yes, I Am a Military Child’ is not an attempt to draw away from being a “Brat”, it’s simply a ‘warm-up’ to the badge of honor of the title that connotes affection and respect. This book is a sing-along to two of the songs on Miss Laura’s special music CD ‘Miss Laura & the Military Brats’ available on YouTube, Amazon, etc. Scan below to listen. Check out Miss Laura’s special ‘Military Child, That’s Me!’ t-shirts, too! Scan below to purchase! Thank you so much for being a part of the magic that is all things ‘Miss Laura’. I hope you really come to love the illustrations painted by Dominique, as she is a true Military Brat. Thank you for buying this book and have a ton-of-fun filling in the special pages in the back! -Miss Laura

Book Description
Some military brats rode camels in Arabia . . . others leaped from parachute training towers . . . but this little army brat rode backwards in the rear "jump-seat" of the family station wagon all the way across America . . . without a seatbelt! Christine Kriha Kastner grew up the only way she knew-on military bases stateside and around the world. By the time she turned in her military I.D. card, when her father retired from the U.S. Army, she had lived in fifteen different houses and attended ten different schools. Situation normal for an army brat. Living on Okinawa was a memorable overseas assignment. So when an opportunity to return to that little island in the Pacific Ocean arose after forty years, she couldn't pass it up. Kastner returned to the island she remembered from her youth-with the 73-year-old mother of one of her best friends. Together, they took a Kubasaki High School reunion trip timed to coincide with the 4th Uchinanchu Festival that brought thousands of Okinawans back to the island from all over the world. It was the adventure of their lifetimes, just not quite the karaoke, sake and pachinko experience they expected.
