Portia you got here before I could and said exactly what I wanted to say. I come from a military family as well and boy did we move often! I LOVED it! I would change a little bit of who I am at every new school knowing that no one in this new school would know my past so they would easily accept the new me. It gave me freedom to experiment with everything from new hairstyles to new personalities. ( hmmm, maybe I am sounding psychotic:) anyway it helped me evolve without pressure of being judged. The only downside is that I have no friends- I never learnt the art of maintaining long term friendships. In the big scheme of things, it is not a big deal for me.
