Born Resilient and Tough

from Leaving With Common Ground · host Barry Pearson

Originally coined by the British as British Regiment Attached Traveler, “BRAT” described children who moved alongside military families. Today, the word has taken on a new meaning—Born Resilient and Tough. In this episode, three BRATS reflect on growing up in military life, leaving home for college, building families of their own, and uncovering how constant movement, adaptation, and service shaped who they are today.
