The town you grew up in...

28. Agree. Lived on or near Air Force bases.

Have friends for a year or two. They would move or we would move. It is interesting how few times a transfer to another base included encounters with former friends. Each new base included making new friends. It seems we all kept a focus on activities versus developing close friendships. Small-town life was the transitional environment of the military base. The PX or “exchange,” the movie theatre, swimming pool, and sports teams or scouts gave some structure. None of it seemed particularly permanent. Once a military brat…always a military brat.
