I've long since adjusted - but I still feel a bit antsy every two years. When I look back over my life, I see that I have the urge to change something in my life - right around the time when we would have moved. Isn't that strange - that all these years later I'd still feel that way?
Me too!

 Is that a joint? I'm really not familiar with that term. Maybe it's regional.
yes, that's right. and yes, it was one of my teachers too.
in fact, that's why the doobie brothers were called the "doobie" brothers.

I had heard it but wasn't sure if it was really true, then I saw them in an interview and the interviewer asked them about their name and they said their name came from doobie as in joint.

.. you not only know what a doobie is, you know that ...
...the band Jefferson Airplane is named for a homemade roach clip you make out of a match (the cardboard kind you get out of a matchbook, not the wooden kind)
...the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is about LSD
..."Puff the Magic Dragon" is about marijuana
...you know more than one nickname for marijuana
or so I've heard.

cinwood and doinkdom - hi there fellow brats!
What bases did you grow up on? I only grew up on three: Ft. Richardson, AK; Ft. Hood, TX; and Ft. Meade, MD.
Hi back!
I was born at Ft. McPherson, GA, lived at Ft. Devens, Mass; Fulda, Germany; Ft. Monroe, VA and my dad retired at Ft. McClellan, AL
I absolutely relate to everything y'all are talking about. Ft. Monroe was my favorite post - I actually got to "grow up" there [5th - 10th grade].
Culture shock is right!!!!! I married a local boy here in Alabama and really wanted to give my children the opportunity to grow up in the same neighborhood, go to school with the same kids, and actually know their grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, etc. Even so, there have been intervals of time when I have yearned for a move and a change of scenery.

I used to work with a gal that was born in the same hospital I was on Macdill in Tampa...only difference was she was born in the old hospital and they opened the new one where I was born the following year.
So far, just Army and AF - gotta be a navy brat in here somewhere

My birthfather was a Marine, but I don't think that counts even though he didn't want to place sis and I for adoption.

I remember backmasking. Can't give any specific examples, though. I do remember that a Christian group did it once, I don't remember who, and their backmasked message was something like "What are you looking for the devil for when you should be looking for the Lord?" That may have been the 80's though.
Anybody remember string art?

So it was pretty common to walk into the restrooms during that time and see people smoking dope.
