My next-door neighbor was a Sergeant in the Army and every day when he gets home I would sit and chat with him, I would say I was no older than eight years old, he would say “Curtis, I can tell you will join the service in ten years from now, because every day you have different questions regarding the military” and trust me this was each
When I joined the Military in 2009 I had no idea that I would end up as a statistic. You hear the phrases "Shellshock" and "PTSD" and think they could never apply to you or that its just something that shows up in the movies to sell tickets.

My experience with military based relocation has been very minimal. My family moved from Cherry Point down to Beaufort, SC and after three years we moved back to Cherry Point.

for my personal growth is due to my experience as a military child. Growing up military has taught me many values as a person. I believe tween and teen years are when children begin to grow as their own human being. I was an active duty military dependent for the first fourteen years of my life.
