It is sometimes hard to be a military child because you have to move and leave your friends. It can be hard for me and it can make me cry. Your parents can deploy for 6 months to 1 year like my dad did. It was so sad. Another reason why it's hard if you have a pet you have to leave your pets. And if it is so sad you can’t stop crying to your mom or dad. If it is a big dog like a golden rechever it has to go with your luggage in the bottom of the airplane and it can get very hot like 90 degrees. It must be very hard for the pets.

But being a military child can be really amazing too! I can see cool planes like when I went to Hawaii and I went to an aircraft hangar. It wasn't crowded but there were like three families in it and it was very fun because we got to stay in the military hotel. My dad let us go into his work. It was pretty cool but it took us like 13 hours to get there but it was worth it because we couldn't go to the beach.it was so fun because we got to go to the beach every single morning! Then we went with our friends but they were playing and it was very crowded. It had like I would say nine families. When you were coming back we went on a regular flight but it took us three flights to get back to Okinawa. The first flight went to Taiwan and the next flight was to Tokyo and then the next flight was to Okinawa.
