These sites will help you in
tracking down your high school alumni association, and maybe some of
those long-lost classmates.

All
England American High School Virtual Reunion |
Basically, this
is a link to a web "chat room" for those of us who went to
an American high school in the UK. It's run by fellow UK School
Alumni Nelson Bishop. |
 |
alt.culture.military-brats |
A newsgroup for those of us who
grew up as military dependents. The newsgroup is occasionally
useful, but frequently gets bogged down by flame wars, and spamming.
Still, I've gotten touch with some interesting people through it. Go
and start posting, maybe we can increase the signal to noise
ratio... |

DoDDS
Home Page |
It's an interesting place to stop
by, and it's your source for ordering high school transcripts, among
other things. They have links to many alumni sites, although in my
not-so-humble opinion, they suffer from the lack of any LHS links.

DoDDS
World Webring |
03/26/99
A new Webring, sponsored by OSB. If you run a DoDDS School related
web page, join up! If not, wander through the various offerings
anyway. I added the LHS Resources today. |

Classmates
Online |
I don't know too much about this
one, but it can't hurt to be listed. |
 |
For
the Brats |
A small collection of links which
may be of interest. Most of the listings are for schools in Germany,
Japan, etc., but it appears to be fairly new. There are pointers to
a couple of articles and publications which you may find
interesting. Be warned though, it has the same annoying popup
console as all the other Geocities sites. |
 |
Global
Nomads |
A fascinating analysis of our
upbringing. This one doesn't relate directly to Military Brats, but
to those of us who are classified "TCK", Third Culture
Kids. This is a term I've just started hearing - it relates to
Military Brats, Corporate and Diplomatic Kids, Missionary Kids, etc.
Basically anyone who've lived in foreign lands due to their parents'
career. Some great stuff here, if somewhat painful in places. |
 |
Military
Brats International |
This is a pretty new registry,
devoted to all military brats, not just the ones who went overseas.
It's growing by the day. Go and add your information. It's a
non-commercial site. |
 |
Military
Brats Journals |
Collected here are a few journals
written by Military Brats, those modern day gypsies who have
experienced leaky roofs on numerous continents, trying to cram all
their personal possessions into one small footlocker, who can say "Give
me a beer, please" in half a dozen languages, who mark the
passage of time by where they lived, and tend to get itchy feet if
they don't change addresses every couple of years. |

National
Geographic's Survey 2000 |
National Geographic is
conducting a survey, charting the changing definitions of community,
and what it means for the next millennium. Go fill it out, it'll
take you about 20 minutes. |
 |
NOMAD
- The Brat Journal |
NOMAD is an
international magazine which caters to the special needs of United
States military brats wherever they may be. |
 |
Operation
Footlocker |
This is the home page for a very
worthy cause - a Mobile Military Brats Museum. It is run by Gene
Moser, a fellow brat, and tours reunion events by invitation.
Operation Footlocker accepts donations of brat-related memorabilia
(including a scrapbook from LHS!). |
 |
Overseas
Brats |
This is an excellent site for
locating information on our unique background. There's a database of
names, sorted by many criteria. You can include your information
also. |
 |
PlanetAll |
An interesting registry site,
it's free - take a look. The only gripe I have with them is this:
When you register with them, they spam you with emails forever. Be
warned. |
 |
SGT.
Mom's |
: Another one of those sites I
forgot to add in. Sgt. Mom's has a pretty comprehensive collection
of information. There are tons of links, several message boards and
information important to active brats and military familys. |
 |
YHS
"Web" Partners |
Well, after a week of work to
comply with the new regs, Rory McGarity is back up. The site's been
awful busy though, so I haven't had a chance to go look yet.

TCK
World |
The website for Third Culture
Kids (TCKs): Military Brats, Missionary Kids, Foreign Service and
Corporate Kids, and others who have lived as children in foreign
cultures. The official homesite for
Operation Footlocker
(OpFoot) -- the Mobile Military Brat Monument, and,
Schools Without Walls

administrators of TCK schools which no longer exist. |

10/28/98: Just pulled
this one off of Rory McGarity's site. Looks pretty helpful so far. |
