I'm not a military brat, but I went to an international school where the average student stayed around for only about 3 years. Hence we had a lot of new people coming in every year.

I don't know if it has made me better at going out and meeting new people (but then again, I stayed in the same place for 12 years while others came in and out). I think it has made me and most everyone else who went there very receptive to new arrivals where we are.

I am so much of an "out of sight, out of mind" person that it's crazy. Likewise I don't really feel the effects of a long time out-of-touch when I run into someone again.

I had never really thought that there would be a connection between my childhood environment and the nature of my friendships, but I think there is.

Thanks for giving me something to think about.
