This information, written in a rather clinical manner, came from Wikipedia. I look forward to hearing from the plate's owner to add a more personal perspective. A military brat (a term used in colloquial or military slang) refers to a child of active or retired military personnel. Military brats develop a distinct subculture and cultural identity. Their childhood or adolescence may be deeply embedded in military culture, making the mainstream culture of their home country seem distant or unfamiliar. In many countries with military brat communities, families often move long distances from one non-combat duty station to another during their youth. Very mobile military brats often develop a mixed cultural identity due to exposure to various national or regional cultures. In military culture, the term 'military brat' is not considered a derogatory term (such as describing a spoiled child) but rather a term of affection and respect. Family stresses related to war, including long periods of parental absence and post-war challenges, are common features of military brat life in some countries, although the level of war involvement and its impact on the community can vary.
