My dad is in the military. I was born in San Diego with my sister. I moved to Japan with my family. I made a lot of friends and it's awesome here. I have traveled a lot because of my dad's work.
Sometimes I don't like being a military child because whenever my dad is away we don't get to see him for a while. I have to say goodbye to my friends sometime. My family doesn't know where we are moving next time.
Good thing about being a military child for me is that I get to meet new people and go to new places. I'm also proud of my dad always working for us.
This is what it is like to be a military child.
