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 twinsailorsmom on August 13, 2013 at 5:55pm: Ok trying to figure out where everyones kids are at. I thought I saw a post with all the basic info in it - but now can't find it. HELP!!

Comment by twinsailorsmom on August 13, 2013 at 5:20pm: Thanks so much ladies!! I am so happy to have this group!!!!

Comment by twinsailorsmom on August 13, 2013 at 5:20pm: @Co-TwinSaliorMom - One does were Navy issue glasses. I asked him about his contacts because he kept taking the glasses off for pictures but he said he is fine with them and he will get around to contacts when he "does". So I don't know what he is going to do??

can I post that on here??

Comment by twinsailorsmom on August 13, 2013 at 5:15pm: Disy I would LOVE for you to come over for a visit!!! I am so super proud of them both. They kept telling me "Boot camp was cake." But that is my positive boys for you. The first thing they wanted to do and the first thing we did was go shopping for new skivvies!!! I never did talk to the RDC, once liberty is called the RDC's are gone. Lots of hugs from them. We spent Friday together and then we spent all day Saturday in the airport. Because my boys have the same initials one of them did not get order or a plane ticket (he took care of it on Wednesday but he was then not with the rest of the group). So one left the airport at 2pm and the other was with the big group of Nukes (that is also what the 3 red strips are - for nukes). The nukes plan got delayed so they missed the connecting flight and they all had to spend the night in a hotel in Atlanta. ( I am SURE they all loved it) It also gave my other sailor a chance to settle into his dorm without a roommate. I am just so proud, I could go on and on . . .

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 13, 2013 at 9:11am: Oh yeah! I remember now!

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 13, 2013 at 8:53am: Disy...I remembered twinsailorsmom had said that their RDC wanted to have a chat with her for having twins with the same initials who looked alike in the same division.

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 13, 2013 at 8:44am: Twinsailorsmom - the are gorgeous - oh my goodness! Look great and sharp and phew it's done ! Congratulations!! You must have been and still are smiling from ear to ear!! I am smiling and they aren't even mine!!! Thanks for the pics!! Please share some more if you can??

What was the conversation with the RDC? Did I miss something?

What did they say about it?
Did the leave the very next day?
What are the three red stripes on their arm?

Oh my goodness I have so many questions can I come over for a visit?

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 13, 2013 at 8:11am: Thanks for sharing twinsailorsmom. Those are wonderful photos of you and your sailors. They look so sharp. How proud you must be! How did that conversation go with their RDC?
