The A stands for Amiable, Adaptable, and Audacious. Brats learn to make friends quickly in new moves, and to be daring when they have to be. It s no coincidence that many award-winning media personalities, such as CNN s Lynne Russell, ABC s Elizabeth Vargas, and performers such as Robert Duvall, Faye Dunaway, and Sandra Bullock are military children.

We have values in the Armed Forces, and we work hard to pass them on to our children.

Believe me, we know how important you teachers are.
