My dad was a career Navy officer. I remember as a kid I, and most other brats, differentiated between ourselves and kids who were "civilians."

I was probably 12 or 13 before I realized that I wasn't exactly as much an officer and a gentleman as my dad.

Truth. I felt the same way, growing up on base.

I'll never forget starting junior high school. For the first time, I had to interact with kids from other branches of the service. It's funny now, but I remember being a bit troubled about my first girlfriend being Air Force .. LOL
