Growing up on a military base as a child, you do certain things that are not normal to most. Sometimes you are even seen as weird.

Since I was born at the Naval Hospital in Jacksonville, FL, I traveled around the United States and stayed on four different bases in four different states. I have became very familiar with the military brat culture.

Here are some signs that might give away that you are a military brat:

1. You are late when you are on time.

Because being on time is when you are 30 minutes early.

2. Your military I.D. Card is what you pull out first when asked for personal identification.

But you realize that you got rid of it because you are over 21.

3. When someone asks where you are from you really don't know.

4. When you get ignored but you have the patience of a champion due to your ability to make friends with everyone.

It's cool because he is my friend.

5. When someone calls you by your first name.

But you fail to turn around because your first name is like a foreign language.
