Funny you talk of the Them/Us mentality. Even though dad was officially an officer we never lived in officers quarters. It was alway enlisted mens housing and all my friends were kids of enlisted men. That was always kinda strange. Before you got into a fight you'd have to find out the other kids dads rank before throwing the first punch.
Not all of my schooling was in DOD schools. Going to public school was definitely a case of them/us. I think more than a couple teachers and school staff were afraid to deal with dependent kids. Lord knows I pushed the limits of good behavior when in public schools.
I also remember trips to the dentist office. They would always ask your dads rank BEFORE administering any anesthetics. No need to wonder what that was about.
