My experience as a military child is sad yet enjoyable, it’s sad watching my friends leave me and me having to leave them. After finally getting used to life and getting settled in and comfortable we have to leave everything behind. But even though we leave the new people we’ve met along the way of our journey of being moved to new places every 3 or more years we still remember the memories we’ve made and how they’ve made our life better. Meeting new people can be scary, but after a while of moving as a military kid you start to get used to it and realize you can always be comfortable with these new people because they’re in the same boat as you experiencing the same thing as you and that you’re never alone wherever you PCS to. My family were stationed in Alaska for 8 years, and when we were going to the airport my closest friends were there while we were about to go through security, and it made me cry, it was hard to leave some of my friends and people that felt like family to me for some new place where I didn’t even know anybody. But after a few months of living here on guam I’ve made new friends that I’m close to now, and I still talk and communicate with my friends back in Alaska.
