Handling the Twin Bond Relationship at Bootcamp

I wanted to ask about this topic as it has a deep impact on how twins relate to each other. This will be good future reference for other Navy Twin Moms as their sons leave for BC. I only have one…Continue

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 21, 2013 at 8:32am: Ah those fun, sweet things we remember from our youth. Nice small Christian school. I also went to a small private Christian school all the way through high school.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 21, 2013 at 6:29am: I went to a private Seventh-day-Adventist school in Carson City where I grew up. Yup...no real dating then. I think I kinda went out with a couple 6th graders. Ughhhh!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 21, 2013 at 12:08am: Where was the school where you went? That is tiny. No dating in 8th grade for you.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 20, 2013 at 11:02pm: Sam had a really cute Gf a grade down then he broke up and dated a girl from the town 10 miles away. Steve's was from that town also. This years graduating class was 10 kids. The school is preschool thru 12. We homeschooled thru grade school.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 20, 2013 at 10:21pm: Cathy...I saw a link posted in the MEPS and DEPS group regarding the Cardinal Company. I thought it would be useful for you if you haven't found it already. I tried to copy and paste, but I couldn't get it to work on my phone.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 20, 2013 at 10:11pm: OMG CO-twin...that is a small school! I thought I went to a small school when I was in 4th-8th. We had like 20 students total in grades 1-8. I was the only 8th grader, it had it's privileges for sure. LOL Talk about shock when I went to HS and was in a classroom of 25 kids in the same grade and a graduating class of 150-200. Jonathan has a graduating class of 430 and Nathanael's is just under 100. Too funny that your boys did not want to date them, too much drama I'm sure. Did they date girls from another town then or what?

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on August 20, 2013 at 9:13pm: CO-Twin, I am impressed with everything you are going through, you really never complain about your situation. We are praying for you that your future is blessed and full of wonderful surprises. Stay positive, you are to be admired!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 20, 2013 at 8:20pm: Thank you two I needed a laugh right now. This town is too small to date much.

The boys had a class of 23 with was large. There were 7 girls. They said it felt too weird to dat them because they know them too well.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 20, 2013 at 7:36pm: CO-twin...it's good to hear Sam passed even if not to his expectations. He can take it as another learning tool to prepare him on how to make himself ready for the next test. I hope isn't feeling down about it though. My Mom always tells me this saying...

Good, Better, Best
Never let it rest.
Make the good Better and the better Best

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 20, 2013 at 7:32pm: I agree Disy...I'm going to stand back and just savor it. I don't get involved with Twin 1 and his relationship and I know I won't with Twin 2. They are WAY too young, but I also worry because they are turning 18 in October and at that point, they will make their own decisions. I think they have a good head on their shoulders, but you know how us Moms are. I know how crazy head over heels in love I was for my hubby when we met after I turned 18. We didn't get married til I was 21, but that was still too young and I can't say I regret my life because I don't. However, I made some stupid decisions at that time too.

I like Nathanael's gf a lot and she's a sweetheart. They've been going out for 1.5 yrs. She lives about 20 mi away but they go to the same school. Needless to say...they don't spend a whole lot of time together. I have asked Nathanael where his gf will be going to school after graduation and he said she doesn't know yet. However, it sounds like she is going to stick around town for a bit. Most likely she will go to the community college to earn her career/tech credits like Nathanael. I don't really know if they will stick it out or not, but they seem like a good fit. Nathanael has ALWAYS had a gf since late middle school. He's a heartbreaker for sure, so I don't usually worry about him. LOL

As far as Jonathan goes, I guess I'm just nervous for him only because it's more complicated because of his future plans. He's had a crush on this girl for about 2 years. He finally told me today, so now we can talk about it. I asked him if he told his PO because his PO has been telling him to stay away from girls because they are evil. LOL Jonathan said that he hasn't told him yet because he checked in with him before he asked this girl out. I'm looking forward to hearing what his PO is going to say to him. I figure things will work out however they will.

OK I'm done freaking out...I just needed you gals to help center me. Thank you :)
