These surveys are conducted informally. Information is collected from visitors to this site, the Brat List (some surveys), and the newsgroup can.military-brats. These surveys are in no way statistically sound, they reflect the composition of the people that decided to respond (so the more people in the survey the better!).
If you would like to participate in a survey, fill

Please respond only if you are a canadian military brat (the school survey also needs some input . . . hint, hint!).

Results will be posted for age groups if there is a correlation. Results for February are in!SCHOOLS: How disruptive to our education was military life?

It reflects the composition of the married brats in can.military-brats who decided to respond and contributions by e-mail. I have also added in some brats from the Brat List. This survey is ongoing and the final results are not yet in.CAREERS: Do brats join the military or do they go on to civvy occupations?It appears that the majority of us brats marry non-brats, but many marry back into the military (used to the lifestyle, maybe?).
