Army BRATS Always Wanna Fly High

Army BRAT’S Always ‘Wanna’ Fly High The tradition necessitates that as a child born unto military parents Called by the beloved acronym Born Raised and Trained (BRAT’S) Be always on the spotlight as they augment and compliment The guys in uniform ever shifting from one place to another Military BRAT’S never quite settle born and raised as sojourners Born of a privileged life to live in army barracks all their youth Raised by parent weighed down by responsibility and call to duty And always having to watch their parents go to war torn areas Trained in all military affairs from the day they are born unto earth Military BRAT’S are like dandelions fated to be ever on the move As BRAT’S are raised by Parent with disciplined training From the day they enter this world as they are celebrated They are surrounded by military fatigues and paraphernalia They are likely to be put on a rigid disciplinary camp routine In young teenage they look up unto the soldiers’ n r inspired Being children who are likely to lead their early life in camps Reality being that they are likely to receive boot camp training At a very early age they learn ARMY mannerism and decorum Tentative they are ever weighing options and rules that they face ARMY BRAT’S whose flower s the dandelion being want to be fun Army camps though a place of discipline and stringent rules at all times Realize as the bases the youngsters ARMY BRAT’S turn into playgrounds Mimicking the drills and adventures they hear from the uniformed crew around Youth quickly fades and they find themselves faced in due time to then fathom Whether a military life is for them or to seek out other fulfilling career paths Deeds of mighty men in their youth they are mentored by time and again Always striving to impress a clique of personnel who are hardly impressed Never the ones to be found in public schools the military academy is school Deeds to be found in a military based schools always discipline is wanting Ever the Army BRATS yearning to flex their wings ever getting ears cuffed Liberty is found when they can lead their life oblivious yet ever on the note In essence they are raised by the entire barrack as they are ever finding ways On their many escapades to get into trouble with the officers on duty in camp Never once lonely but in truth missing the normal publics life and escapades Seeing a Military BRAT reach for the heights is the pride of all at the camp #Code254_Am_aMilitaryBRAT

ABSOLUTELY LOVE this! My kids are Navy BRATS - Born, Raised and Trained!! I was confused when I brought my daughter to my growing up home…she said, “Mom, I kniw this is important to you, but I don’t feel the same.” Afterwards, I was working, at the library, with a BRAT and talked to her about it and she felt the same as my daughter. God bless all BRATS! Love mine!
