   Milbrats.Net: Status Report ...

   From: scrappy@hub.org   
      
   First, the boring stuff ...   
      
   We currently have 88 registered users, and 77 member entries ...   
      
   My sister, yet another Brat, has been hard at work making sure that every known   
   base, ship, unit, squadron, and, she's trying to fill in stuff like year   
   it was disbanded (if appropriate), links to their official web sites ...   
      
   Now, to give an idea of how ... elaborate(?) this new site is, let me   
   take you on a bit of a 'tour by example' ...   
      
   If you login and go to:   
      
     The Brats -> Fournier, Marc   
      
     You will see my Bio on the right (even with a current photo) ... under   
   my Bio, I have my sister listed, with a link to *her* entry ...   
      
     Look at her Bio, and she has a link back to me, of course ... but, since   
   she is Military, and has her own kids, you will also see her Children   
   listed, and links to *their* entries ...   
      
     Go to my GodDaughter (Alysia), and you will see her sister linked to   
   under Siblings, and her Mother link'd back to under Parents ...   
      
     And, by the way ... Alysia is also *the youngest Brat*, having just   
   turned 1 year old, that we currently have listed ... her sister is old   
   hate now as a Brat, having survived her first Posting from the West Coast   
   to Ottawa :)   
      
     But, this is the goal with the site ... to make it *easy* to find ppl ...   
   were you stationed in CFS Sioux Lookout in 1979?  Go look at that Base,   
   and you'll find that Melanie Wagner was there too ... did you know her?   
      
     I have over 2000 Brats to add from Susan's original site flat files, and   
   I'm trying to get a few in every night ... but, login and add yourself ...   
      
     Here's someone that has been going wild with his:   
      
     http://www.milbrats.net/member_wiki/index.php/Mills%2C_David_R   
      
     Not only has he listed the bases he went through as a kid, he's added   
   in the ones that he's gone through as an adult too ...
