I do, of course, have memories, but not like most of you. My dad went back into the military when I was 4 or 5, so I was never in the same place more than 3 years after that until I moved to Houston to be with my wife in my mid 20s. My growing up years are scattered all over the world. I don't have any people that I know (other than relatives) going back farther than HS, and that's only because of the Internet.

I feel for you. I have ZERO friends from below the age of 24. I wasn't a military brat, but my father ran off with his secretary when I was about 11. My mom, with no career or education, moved us around from rented house to rented house while she chased jobs and boyfriends. I went to two junior highs and four high schools. The high school I graduated from I only attended for two months. Didn't know a soul, bailed on the prom and graduation, and joined the USAF shortly after. All that really matters is our wive's and kids anyway.

I was not a military brat, nor was I from a broken home, yet I have almost no friends. By choice. I dislike most people I meet and find many to be shallow and disingenuous, therefore I just save myself the bother of friendship and the inevitable disappointments. I wish I had also applied that policy to marriage.
