and ONCE AGAIN I wont know him anymore

[Medical Kid]

that stupid military career of my moms keeps moving my family around, and I keep having to lose friends so quickly.......now I'm starting to connect with a new person but I'm moving in about half a year, is keeping a good friend for a small amount of time worth never seeing him again?

Growing up in your experience (navy brat) I know what it feels like; however, I can tell you from experience that no matter how much it hurts getting close to them is a really good thing to do. Me and some of my friends are actually still in contact, just exchange email and instant messenger information. With modern technology it is really easy to keep in touch with friends, so I would definitely recommend that you keep these friends, it will pay off in the end!

Oh, enjoy it while you can! Absolutely make friends and enjoy eachother a lot. Don't waste time. Don't focus on the upcoming "good bye".

Part of being an Army Brat is that you do have to move around alot, and that means lots of good byes. But, that shouldn't mean you should deprive yourself of good friends and good times.

Loss is a lot like other things, the more practice you have at it, the more experience you have with it, the more comfortable you become with it, and the better you are in dealing with it. Even something as difficult as loss! And in your case, you have some advance knowledge that it's going to happen, so you can prepare yourself for it.

Enjoy it while you can. You'll deal with the good bye in six months, when you move.

Like others have said, have fun while you are there. Don't hold yourself back from all the other kids your age, most if them are in the same position as you. Exchange email addresses, instant messenger screen names and so on. Have fun now and don't dwell upon what is yet to come.

And another thing, don't focus on the bad parts of moving around so much. Being a military brat, you get to see so many different parts of the country and even world. You can meet so many more people than an average kid, and another upside is your mother's career isn't at risk with all the economic troubles. You don't have to worry about your mom being laid off like so many other kids in the country.

Really good info ^^. I would have to say that you should still make good friends even if you only have a small amount of time.
