“Well, I feel like it’s a little bit hard. Daddy gets deployed a lot and I don’t get to spend time with him. I don’t think I like it as much as I might like something else.” Mikal, 8

“I think…well, I don’t really know. I mean, it’s just life.” Charlotte, 7

“Fun. You get to travel to lots of places and live in different states. And you make lots of new friends. Sad. We have to move away from all our family and friends.” Jordynn, 8

“It’s fun. We have lots of friends and people are nice.” Aiden, 5

“I like it most of the time, but I hate moving because I miss my friends.” Michael, 8

“It’s cool, I’ve made a lot of friends all over the world, and we get to play x-box one online all together, different time zones and everything. How cool is that?” Will, 13

“My dad is an America guy and he talks to people and takes pictures and I have adventures like when I go from that one home to my new new home.” Landrick, 7

“Modern day nomads.” Coleen (adult)

“I liked it. We got to be social and move to other places.” Kelly (adult)

“More juice, please.” Brielle, 2

“Lifelong lessons: adaptability, respect and flexibility.” Christine (adult)

“Adventurous. Excited to move across the country next summer (on my own), because I know I will be fine.” Kate (adult)

“It’s a little bit not so good because they decide everything for us like what states we go to. We always get the bad states. But I do like that Daddy gets us money every two weeks to support our family! It also makes me sad and scared when he is not with me for a long time.” Landon, 6

“It’s not really fun because Daddy has to go away a lot.” Emma, 7

“I don’t know what to say, Mom. Seriously. I don’t want to talk about it right now.” Morgan, 13

“I love my Daddy, so much.” Emma, 3
