The military likes to use acronyms to shorten everything, and some think that BRAT originally came from British Regiment Attached Traveler. However, the opposite is true and the British version was built on the word “brat”, not the other way around!

Military Brats have been fortunate to experience world events first-hand. Some of those experiences were very scary, others were educational. The Military Brats Registry News Blog is here to tell your stories. Remember…
