I am confused, I am reading the day by day schedule for BC and it goes every week they have 5 days and then Sunday, what happens on the 7th day??

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 5, 2013 at 7:56pm
Oh yes - waiting to hear all about the fashion and the pomp and ceremony at PIR!!

Cathy - I was hoping you would get your box today so that mine would come tomorrow! LOL! Co-Twin my hubby asked me why I was so obsessed with a box of her dirty stuff!!!!!

Doubletrouble can't wait to see the pics of the hair! Don't get me started I am obsessed with what my SR looks like with her hair cut!!! Ugh! Have to move on!!

So Shell  How was your son's PIR?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 5, 2013 at 7:25pm

The first time Steve's box came way after everyone else got theirs, I was really sad it took do long. What is it about getting a box on dirty cloths that is so attractive?  

Oh double trouble we will be praying for you and your family.  So they cut off those great curls?  Was it traumatic? Would love to see pics.

Where will Darien go to A School? Jacob will be at Goose Creek where my Sam is.  Sam says the rooms are by floors.  MM's one floor, ET's one floor and EM's on the third floor. So he will have to see if they can meet up. The mom group for nukes is OK but not as fun.  Because they are there for so long it is huge and hard to know what the heck everyone is talking about as there are up to 5 segments to school there. Sam said because they are all nerds and so are the Moms they aren't fun.LOL  Have come across a few nice ones but not one mom in Sam's class.

I took in a friend of my twins last November.  We were helping him get a GED, a visa and he was going to join the Navy.  However he lost steam and was struggling then the ex to be kicked him out.  He had a job but lost his room that he was renting, Got a puppy without permission. then last month his parents cam and got him and he is back home (about 90 miles away) and doing construction work. Sad He could have had a much better future had he just stuck with it.

I was pretty disappointed I didn't get his box today, I really thought since I live within a 4 1/2 hour drive from where BC is that it would surely get here today, especially after hearing about others already receiving theirs boxes last week and there son/daughter that left just the day before mine.

CO-Twin, I hate to hear that your husband has felt the need to be negative about you to your kids, that is just not right. I have been married to my kids dad twice, we were divorced for 6 1/2 years and I can honestly say that one of the reasons we got back together is because he always told the kids that they needed to behave for me and that they didn't know how lucky they were to have me for a mom.We just really never bad mouthed each other, we had a horrible first marriage, we were young, he drank to much and was not nice when he drank, but when we got divorced he learned to respect me and he expected the kids to do the same. He was very remorseful for the things he did and when he stopped drinking we got remarried. I have nothing against drinking, he just is one of those people who just can't do it. I hope your husband comes the realization that it is very important for everyone that he learned to respect you for being the mother of his kids and set a good example for them. Don't feel bad about mentioning this situation to us, we have been communicating for a while now and you had never said a word. If you every need to vent this is probably the right place to do it. We are there for you girl!!

Disy, I have to say I am hoping for tomorrow now, I had put a note on the door for the FedEx guy and I guess I while put it back up when I leave here tomorrow. I hate to wish my life away but I am ready to start communicating anyway I can with my son!! So I do hope the next few days go by fast. OH wait a second, that means Gregory will be leaving, Heck I don't know what I want. Confused!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I disappeared for awhile, it has been so crazy around here. We had family come in Friday & spend the weekend with the boys then we had our open house yesterday. I am trying to post pics of the boys since they cut their hair off, but just haven't found time.
We drop Darien & their best friend Paul at the recruiter tomorrow at 1:00 & he will drive them to MEPS in Amarillo, then Wednesday morning they do MEPS then fly to Dallas then to Chicago. Then I get to do it all again on Monday for Jacob. Trying to keep it together!
I haven't read many posts, I did see where co twin posted the start of the cheat sheet & had blanks to fill in. Darien is an HT, hull tech & Jacob is an MM-sub, machinist mate on subs.
I think I remember cathy & disy had kids leave, I still think about y'all & hope you're doing ok.
We are about to have dinner with their best friend & his family one last time so I will post again later.

Co-Twin my parents divorced when I was very young and despite my mom never being paid alimony I never heard her say a bad word about my dad! Eventually I worked out stuff for myself and after a break of not seeing my dad from when I was 15 until 24 we did eventually get together and form a relationship! Two years ago I took my big girls to Italy and stopped in the United Kingdom where my dad and his wife and the 2 girls and myself spent a lovely week together! That was in June on the 2nd of September he passed away from acute leukemia. It was a shock to us all but I cannot tell you how glad as I was that I had that week with him. When I called my mom to tell her she cried and she said no matter what he was your father! Kids are amazingly astute and if parents could only act as adults like you obviously have things have a way of working themselves out! I am sorry that you are gong through this though! It is always heartbreaking divorce! You will have to tell us about your foster child ! Bravo to you for taking that on!

When my boys were in DEP I was looking at the videos and web sites and when I mentioned something to them they got all excited and said they watch stuff all the time and showed me that they were looking at.  So maybe he is already and you don't know it.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 5, 2013 at 5:47pm

I am sorry also about the ex, I try not to talk about him at all. The old if you have nothing nice to say don't go there. And he is their father.  I think they are well aware of what is what.

When Steve left he had packed up quite a bit. His roon always looked OK, However When I went to clean up in there,...There was so much under the bed I don't think you could have stuck in a coin.  It was disgusting, dirty cloths, dirty dishes, I found 5 salami's dating back years. Then the roof slants so the 2 dressers are about 1 1/2 feet from the back wall and it was stuffed full back there. Also both closets full to the roof. Funny as he kicked Sam out for being a slob a few years ago. 

Then Sam moved in and I had to do it again (Sam was in a loft room) Then again after the foster kid left.
