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 Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 6, 2013 at 7:57pm: Doubletrouble ...how are you today? Thinking about you and lifting your family up in prayer. Are you going to the swearing in? I couldn't remember.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 6, 2013 at 7:42pm: Go CO-twin Go! Seems like your boys are still keeping you on your toes. I hope you were able to get some help figuring out Sam's address. I've read it somewhere on the Nuke Moms site. Guess I need to start a notebook with things that I know I will forget about as time speeds quickly by. Good luck trying to get that mandolin for Steve too. What a good Mom you are. Out of curiosity...if it's not too personal, what did Sam want you to dig out for him?

Disy...too funny about the stinky box. I told Jonathan to wear clothes he can just toss. I don't want his stinky clothes...or...maybe I do. Aaagggghhhhhh. Secretly I'm hoping he will leave me a note somewhere. I definitely won't want his shoes! LOL

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 6, 2013 at 7:26pm: My two kept me to busy today to get work done. Sam wants his car like YESTERDAY. Latest he is getting a friend to pick it up tomorrow and driving it to SCarolina. He wants some stuff I have to dig up and cookies.

Steve had me trying to buy him a mandolin from Italy. There are translation and ordering issues. May have an Italian business I order from call for me.

Sam also challenged me to try to figure out his address on my own. So I was busy doing that. I got it I think. Nuke school has a weird system. I had to figure out his class #.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 6, 2013 at 7:22pm: Sam's was not bad as he had brand new shoes, not time to be stinky yet.

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 6, 2013 at 6:29pm: Oh thanks Co-Twin! We love you and Sam and Steve for all your info!

Got the box!! No tears but just elation!

Phew that was one stinky box!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 6, 2013 at 4:54pm: Oh the not full division thing. Sam was a "push" division. He waited a week to start and the guys that filled it has one week less. so they all start together but BC is a week short. they all finished by PIR. So the PIR date was counted 8 weeks from Sam's first friday even though they were held a week and the others in essence we a week less.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 6, 2013 at 4:50pm: The 4th may not make a difference as Steve was not effected by either thanksgiving or Christmas, he was in BC for both. Poor kid missed two major holidays with family. At Christmas though they got adopted by a church and spent the day there big meal and games, cards, video games etc.. got their pic taken sent to moms. nice. got to call three times that day.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 6, 2013 at 3:19pm: They started school earlier this year as the district wanted to make it a "balanced calendar". Pain in the butt is what I think. The good thing is they get like a week or two off in Oct and 3 wks off for Christmas and 2 wks off for Spring Break. How exciting for Twin 2! I'm sure she is going to love it! I remember how fun my freshman year orientation at college was.

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 6, 2013 at 3:12pm: You go back next week!!! We go back August 26th!!! Don't worry she only rolls her eyes at me!! The little one however rolls her eyes at everyone! Twin 2 only starts college August 26th too but her orientation is 20th for a week! She's so excited!

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 6, 2013 at 2:02pm: Disy...I bet your SR will break that eye-rolling habit real quick in BC. LOL Too funny about the shirt you got her the younger one. Twin 2 is a big-time eye roller too.

I just gotta say...I'm so glad school starts next week! I am ready to get this school year going and then wave it goodbye. The first half of the school year is going to zoom by as there is a lot going on. I think the spring is going to drag, but there will still be PLENTY to do before school let's out once and for all. Let's get this party started!
