Dependent who grows up in military housing or area with parents or parent that learns the meaning of military life. Most learn that mom likes to watch T.V and eat junk food whilst dad goes on deployment forever. Both parents likes to cheat and pay little attention to the children. The dependent grows up usually with little or no respect for much in life while they run around the housing area at wee hours of the morning doing clandestine shit with other military brats dodging Shore Patrol/Military Police/Local Security.
