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 July 27, 2013 at 10:05pm: I posted the video from Sam's PIR, my favorite part. 700 sailors singing Anchors away.

It has to be approved so in a day or so if it is approved you can go to my page and click on videos.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 27, 2013 at 10:04pm: It's probably a region thing, that is something that we don't and can't do in these parts, pretty flat around here. We have zip lined and I kind of liked that. You just never know.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 27, 2013 at 7:54pm: Cathy It made me feel more at ease once I watched Steve climb cause I then got the picture of, Yes he does climb really high, but I got to see how careful and safe he is. I was actually less nervous after having watched him in action.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 27, 2013 at 7:52pm: Oh, I was hoping that you didn't think he was real, I have been wondering if I am losing my mind and I started to worry about you!! LOL

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 27, 2013 at 7:45pm: I meant double troubles little blond cousin, not your third triplet (bieber) LOL

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 27, 2013 at 7:36pm: CO-Twin, do you mean Justin Bieber??

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 27, 2013 at 7:24pm: This is what my boys were doing last weekend at our family gathering that scared me. They keep trying to do somethings a little more dangerous then the other. Glad no one got hurt. But let me tell you I don't think I could watch my kid climb a cliff or bungee jump, that would make me sick!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 27, 2013 at 7:16pm: Oh nice pics. the little blond cousin looks like your boys somewhat. Gosh they look alike both Cathymg and double trouble's .

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 27, 2013 at 7:14pm: Wow two in one day. They must have had the twin sense thing going on.

The wight thing could be an issue. The day Sam went to Meps the new Doctor found a 1% curvature in his spine, No one noticed it before and he has never had a problem. Never seen on their physicals every year/ She was going to send him home!! The recruiter said it was a scene, Sam Cried, the recruiter got the Chief who likes Sam on the phone and he told the Doc to give him a waiver. So they better do whatever they can at this point.

At home school my boys did really well, but when I put them in school they learned to be lazy. That first test for Sam jogged him to really pay attention and apply himself.

They are given study guidance at A school. They are also taught how to handle money. As Sam said the Navy does not want them to fail and will help them succeed, however Sam said they also are willing to make an example out of someone who slips up.
