Purpose

     Hi, I'm Samantha Loose and I'm the daughter of an Army Brat. While I have no experience with what it's like to be a child of the army myself, growing up I have heard short stories here and there about what my mother's life was like. Hearing more about her experiences and then comparing them to how I was brought up has been really interesting, and I loved learning how her childhood shaped her into the woman and mom she is today.

     Reviewing statistics and learning about the lives of Army Brats more in depth helps me to understand more about my mother, and also the countless other children with parents in the army. The purpose for the blog is to not only open the eyes to others around me who may not know what it's really like to be an Army Brat, but to also share my mother's experiences and my own. The Army Brat subculture is one that many are apart of, and also one that not many people know enough about.
