Yep, Army brat and I did live in lots of places. My dad was too young for WWII, but he did fight in Korea and Vietnam. I was the opposite and fought in no wars during my stint in the Army. My dad was very spit and polish, whereas I was very laid back and waited until I was told before I got a haircut or polished my shoes. Military authority and I don't see eye-to-eye, so that's why I bailed.
