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 3boysmom on July 19, 2013 at 6:54pm: Cathymg, that sounds like my son. Despite my "reminders" he really didn't do too much working out before he left. It gave me a few sleepless nights when he was at basic. But like everything else, the navy was able to get through to him in a way I never could. He took to the workouts fine and passed all his pt tests.
I'm sure your son is starting to feel some normal anxiety about what's ahead, so he's now going to do what it takes to succeed at basic.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 19, 2013 at 12:44am: Hey congrats on his running. It sounds like it is hitting home that he knows time is running short.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 18, 2013 at 11:11pm: Bryce has 12 day left and he just told me that he set his alarm for 5 am so he can get up and run before work, I guess better late then never!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 18, 2013 at 10:14pm: Cathymg that is nice to relax and go out to eat. Also nice for their grandparents.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 18, 2013 at 9:38pm: My parents and I took my boys to eat tonight!! It was nice spending time with them, it seems like I get home from work they eat real fast and then they are off to do things with their friends, so I cherished the couple of hours we spent together tonight.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on July 18, 2013 at 9:24pm: I bet that made your day when Sam called CO-twin. He sounds like s sweet young man!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 18, 2013 at 7:55pm: I think you can only load them on your page that way and you would have to leave a comment that they are there. Also I do not believe anyone can view those unless you friend them. If you do it on the PC there are icons on the top of the comment box and it is very easy to go to the pic one and load them from your pictures on your PC. Also I can drag and drop certain things. on my mac.

Comment by 3boysmom on July 18, 2013 at 7:20pm: Co-twin, I have an iPad and a pc. I rarely use the pc anymore but I don't know how to upload a photo on my iPad. Any suggestions?.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on July 18, 2013 at 6:51pm: Got a call from Sam last evening, he is such a sweet caring young man. He knew I was having a rough day yesterday so he called to tell me he loves me and enjoys visiting on the phone, even though at nuke school he only gets 4 hours of sleep. He gets up a 5 to run, showers goes to class. He is studying for 15-18 hours a day. He says the material is not that hard but the amount to learn in a said time period in massive. He said when it is all said and done if he can make it through this will be the hardest thing he has ever done. He is so funny, mid sentence he interrupts himself with "oh look a kitty, I love kitties" He said that have school cats. Probably to keep pests at bay I imagine. His twin is on mission and out of communication.
