Hi Kim Ann, I was happy to find that there was another group just for Mother's Of Twins in the Navy!! I have Identical twin<br />
sons, one in San Diego and one deployed on the USS Ronald Reagan. They enjoy the Navy life and actually the other twin<br />
would like to be on the ship. I'm sure he'll get his chance. It is difficult to know they made the choice to enlist, but it is admirable and certainly encouraged if that is what they chose to do. One twin had a degree in Finance and the other had…

Associates, so he is finishing up while on deployment. They keep them really busy. My boys keep in constant contact and miss one another a lot. They have always been near enough to get together so this is new to them. They are getting used to<br />
it now, since they have both been in over a year so far. Great to find there are others dealing with this, or others, having more than one in. It's just the same. They are all our special kids/men.

Congratulations to you, your boys and family! Looks like you, too, are dealing with sending in two at one time! My best wishes to all of you, and how I understand what you are going through! I had spent quite a bit of time in and around Pensacola, so Eric will have a grand time there, I just love the area! Ft.Walton and Destin are about 40 miles to the east and are other great areas, the beaches are FANTASTIC! You just have to find some vacation time to go and enjoy, let alone spend time with…
Congratulations to you, your boys and family! Looks like you, too, are dealing with sending in two at one time! My best wishes to all of you, and how I understand what you are going through! I had spent quite a bit of time in and around Pensacola, so Eric will have a grand time there, I just love the area! Ft.Walton and Destin are about 40 miles to the east and are other great areas, the beaches are FANTASTIC! You just have to find some vacation time to go and enjoy, let alone spend time with your sailor! I know the life of a sailor doesn't necessarily leave much free time at the moment...but I hope he learns to enjoy what opportunities he can get! As for Andrew in SC, I have only been over towards Hilton Head, near Savannah. It too, is gorgeous, but the ocean is not as clear as in FL. Yet that southern hospitality that is so indigious of the Carolina's cant be beat, so I hope Andrew too can go enjoy some of that culture! Coming from America's heartland myself, being near the ocean is quite the experience! I am so very proud of my twin boys and what they are accomplishing already, and the maturity I am seeing in every call, letter, or message, that I bet you have also seen in yours! Best wishes again...Kim Correction Andrew is in Goose…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2008-09-19:1971797:Comment:7024932008-09-19T17:55:38.714ZKelly Gonzales and Familyhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/xn/detail/u_264oats6lkazb

Hello there. Yes we have twin boys also. Andrew and Eric. Andrew is now in Goose Neck SC for his Nuke School and Eric is in Pensacola FL for his Puter School. It's a good feeling and honor to see not only my twins but others to serve our country. It's indeed patriotic.!!!

Thanks for responding, and may also be a help or a blessing to your friend. It has been tough, going from the normal noise of two (the good and the bad!) to the total quiet! I still can't find it in me to do anything with their rooms, and I hope strongly that they did not leave something that may take over and be "growing" that shouldn't! Sweet boys that they were, they made sure (unbeknownst to their mom at the time) to have others check on me, or call on me, or invite me to doing things to…

I am so amazed at how strong that one mom must be to have 7 children in at the same time, she must be one tough lady! I know my heart couldn't take it!

It isn't discriminating between children or mates at this site, which is even more encouraging and enlightening. And makes this so much more personal! We all can be there for each other, especially when no one else understands our senseless muttering, and longing to "be in the crowd" using our new found Lingo (navy abbrev. and talk!) So congrats on your sailor, and I know its still a period of adjustment. For you, and for him!

Thank you so much! That is wonderful! We all have unique situations, and very special children. And it sometimes takes others to help hook us up with the very one that can change it all! I am a bit ahead of her, as my two graduated a month ago, so perhaps I can even help enlighten her a bit! God Bless and thanks again!

I can't thank you enough, by being a model for me, to show how I will get through! I had responded earlier, but it some how did not go through. My two are very super close, but not dependent on each other. For as long as I can almost remember, they wanted to go into special ops, and the navy. I know they talk all the time, although one had been held up for a week after BC due to paperwork that was lost in MEPS.

I commend your strength, after having one already go through, and knowing the possibility of having more contemplating that same option! I do think we are all so proud of them, they made the choice, but we are all behind them every step of the way! God is good, isn't he?! He has blessed us all beyond our belief!
