B.R.A.T.S: Where are you from?
http://anzmbos.blogspot.com/2008/08/where-are-you-from.html
Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Where are you from? How many times have you been asked this over the years and what do you reply? I take a deep breath and say, "Well, i was born in Brisbane but my Dad joined the RAAF when i was just 4 months old" .i pause. and continue with a quick mumble of "and then we lived all over the place.". What is our Identity as ex dependents of Australian and New Zealand Defence Force Personal? Do we have one? 160;of our Fathers anymore, some may have never had contact with Milita...

B.R.A.T.S: Awakening the Lost Brat-part 1
http://anzmbos.blogspot.com/2008/07/nearing-end-of-last-century-i-started.html
Thursday, July 24, 2008. Awakening the Lost Brat-part 1. I found something, somewhere about a site called Schoolfriends.com.au, an Australian site to reunite old school friends. Everything was novel and gadgety back then, OK, that would be cool thinks I, so i created an account to join and was then required to fill in my details and find the schools i attended. Every time i signed into the site it would bug me that 2 of the schools i went to weren't listed. My profile was incomplete and damn it if no...

http://anzmbos.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2008. I took a short break from writing the background story to this blog, the beginnings of reuniting ANZ Military Brats of Singapore, not only because its a long story (and can't be told any other way - i've tried) but also because i wanted to try something i've wanted to for a long while. create a wmv, a video. It is only for us who do remember . because we want to. I hope you enjoy it as much as i did making it. Sunday, July 27, 2008. What's in a name? I took this responsibility very...

B.R.A.T.S: How to bring back the Past-part 3
http://anzmbos.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-bring-back-past.html
Friday, July 25, 2008. How to bring back the Past-part 3. Altavista was the search engine to use in my new days of the internet and i sat looking at the search box thinking about what words i should type into it. I wondered if there was anything out there about our old school and tried different words and combinations. Woodlands Singapore NZ Service School Brats. Nothing, there was nothing. The story was coming together and intrigued me. Why were we there? What B....

B.R.A.T.S: The Changi Brats
http://anzmbos.blogspot.com/2008/08/changi-brats.html
Thursday, August 7, 2008. Three people played an important part in the beginnings of this story, Andrew Baumback, Glen Mooney and Jon Anda. The aussie brat, the kiwi brat and the kiwi consulate brat who had seen it all. Three very different people with three different reasons and three different perspectives. They may be surprised to read their names here, they may not, but it is here i feel i must acknowledge them because i want to. My simple answer to that question is - Because there wasn't one. I quic...

B.R.A.T.S: September 2008
http://anzmbos.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 11, 2008. From around the age of 8 i learned how painful the word Good bye can be. Pre pack and Uplift out of the way, we were leaving Melbourne posted to Amberley RAAF Base (Qld) I had just started to make some friendships, just started to learn the meaning of friendship, and we had to go. I'm never going to see them again. Time passed, the pain of those Goodbyes faded. You were so busy being the new kid on the block that you never did get around to writing that letter you prom...

B.R.A.T.S: Pre-pack and Uplift
http://anzmbos.blogspot.com/2008/08/pre-pack-and-uplift.html
Saturday, August 30, 2008. Moving around as we did, following our Fathers postings, was a great adventure of wonderment, anticipation and excitement but as with most moments of glory we collected our share of battle wounds along the way. You don't get something for nothing in th. Is life, thats just the way it is. An empty house is a very strange environment, to this day i still don't feel comfortable in hollowed out places. I think it reminds me of endings when it should bring feelings of new beginn...

B.R.A.T.S: Do I know you from somewhere?
http://anzmbos.blogspot.com/2008/08/do-i-know-you-from-somewhere.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Do I know you from somewhere? Many of the first brats to be found were the boys of NZ Service High School, Woodlands 1976/1977. . Because i only had the 1976 school magazine by my side at the computer and because well, the girls get married and change their surname don't they? So the first intake were predominately males along with a few females who were not married or were still known by the male brats and were told about the site. And no one really knew us. Walking with a fr...
