Hi! I'm The Sailor and MoJo's youngest son. My nickname at home is *Tibby*. You've probably seen my older brother, hotstreak, before. I'm 6 years old and currently in First Grade.
See the big guy pictured above? Do you know him who he is? If you like the NBA, you'll know it's Shaquille O'Neal.
He, hotstreak, and myself are part of a special community. We're proudly known as *military brats*. His father was in the Army while our Dad is in the Navy. Military brat is an informal term for a child who has one or more parents who serves or served full-time in the military. It implies that such an upbringing is different in important ways from that experienced by those in the community at large, and can be an insult or a compliment, depending on the context. Although brat is usually taken to mean a spoiled child, military brats are usually considered more disciplined than their stateside peers.

Oh, sure - had to go and just ruin my night by posting that picture of Molly Sims. The woman still calls me at least three times a day, despite the restraining order.
Geeze.

I know...that adornment, regardless of expense, leaves very little to the imagination.
Hardly what I'd call practical!
