Some military brats rode camels in Arabia . . . others leaped from parachute training towers . . . but this little army brat rode backwards in the rear "jump-seat" of the family station wagon all the way across America . . . without a seatbelt! Christine Kriha Kastner grew up the only way she knew-on military bases stateside and around the world. By the time she turned in her military I.D. card, when her father retired from the U.S. Army, she had lived in fifteen different houses and attended ten different schools. Situation normal for an army brat. Living on Okinawa was a memorable overseas assignment. So when an opportunity to return to that little island in the Pacific Ocean arose after forty years, she couldn't pass it up. Kastner returned to the island she remembered from her youth-with the 73-year-old mother of one of her best friends. Together, they took a Kubasaki High School reunion trip timed to coincide with the 4th Uchinanchu Festival that brought thousands of Okinawans back to the island from all over the world. It was the adventure of their lifetimes, just not quite the karaoke, sake and pachinko experience they expected.

"Not another move!" Barbara exclaimed. "We've only been a year." Military families can expect to be relocated every two years, sometimes every year. Constant changes in schools, friends and homes can take a toll on a family. Both the author and her sister, Marilyn, suffered nightmares every night. Their mother started drinking in secret and Barbara's grades at four different elementary schools she attended went down. "Interrupted Journeys: A Memoir of an Army Brat" is based on the author's childhood experiences as a daughter of an army officer. It portrays many challenges which military families endure and would appeal to those who have been members of the service and their families.

"Military Brat" is a proud moniker for children of career military personnel -Born, Raised and Trained by a military family. This author had lived in 13 abodes by the end of high school, from Japan to England, and in six states. This kind of domestic instability is not for every child, but for many it is an extraordinary experience, educationally and culturally, as these humorous and poignant short stories illustrate. It can also be a potent antidote for intolerance and provincialism. To enjoy this kind of experience, however, it is critical that one choose his or her parents and siblings wisely. A lot of love is needed along the way.
