Handling the Twin Bond Relationship at Bootcamp

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

Hasn=had
Complicated=compared

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on February 23, 2014 at 2:06am: I would LOVE to keep the group alive. Even if only one or two of us are posting. It's fun to keep up with everyone.

My boys are still cruising along through school. I just checked Jonathan's countdown clock to BC and he leaves in 128 days. OMG! That is less than FOUR months now! I remember when it was just over a year.
Nathanael just broke up with his girlfriend of 2+ years. We are so sad for him. He seems OK, but doesn't really want to talk about it. He just said that things weren't working out. I'm not to worried for him though as he has hasn many girlfriends before. LOL

Nathanael has finally chosen to stay here in Reno and go to the University. It will save a LOT of money complicated to going to Montana State. He earned a couple scholarships through the University, but they only cover about half of his tuition. He really wants to live on campus the first year too. We'll see.

CO- twin... It sounds like Stephen has seen some amazing places. HOW COOL! I have read that the smaller ships get to go to more places as compared to the carriers. I don't know about the subs.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 22, 2014 at 9:58pm: More.... Stephen has been to several African countries, Egypt, Spain, Greece, Italy, India, Israel and the Seachelle Islands (that was his favorite)

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 22, 2014 at 7:26pm: This was a reply to a PM I got about the inactivity here.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 22, 2014 at 7:25pm: Totally agree that it is sad the twins grow died. There were lets if new members that never posted anything. The others I think just moved on, I see Cathy and double trouble on face book.

I also see sierrascrapper on other groups. I actually met her while on vacation, that was really neat.

Sam just started Power school this week. He will finish that the end of August. He then will be on Grad Hold for an undetermined length of time. then 6 months of Prototype then he will be on a sub. So Long time from now.

Stephen is in Virginia while his ship is overhauled. He saw a lot of the other side of the world. Brought me lots of presents. It was the best to see my twins together again for the first time in over a year. They relished those two days together.

Steve's adventures has Sam rethinking what kind of sub he wants to be on. Originally he wanted a boomer, now he is thinking fast attack so he can travel and see more of the world.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on February 18, 2014 at 9:21am: Hey ladies! I'm hosting an online jewelry party for doubletrouble's new endeavor. Here is the link: https://www.southhilldesigns.com/jessicastewart/PartyGuestProductLi...
The party closes on the 28th, so you have plenty of time to choose and design a special locket to tell your own story. I LOVE the charms available! Especially the military ones and they even have charms for my favorite hobbies like scrapbooking and camping and geocaching. I hope you find something you like and can help make this party a success and help doubletrouble get her business off to a GREAT start.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on February 10, 2014 at 12:00am: Wow doubletrouble, your husband is a walking miracle. I bet you all are so grateful to still have him around. Your boys are definitely looking sharp in their uniforms. I hope they are loving it! Hard to believe so much time has passed already since your boys had left for BC. My son leaves in 140 days. OMG, just saying that makes me feel so strange. I'm still so excited for him and this next step in his future. Time is absolutely flying now! Lots of lasts coming up in the next couple months.

CO- twin, the lockets doubletrouble is selling are really cool! The charms they have available are way better than ones I've seen from other companies. I'm hosting an online party soon. You should host one too! Nothing like helping a fellow Navy Mom out.

Comment by doubletrouble on February 9, 2014 at 6:21pm: Please do share the link! I thnk our twin group will always be a place to come back to, but yep a little sad.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 9, 2014 at 6:10pm: Oh I am so quick on that comment button.

Wow your husband is a walking miracle. Your family is truly blessed.

Such handsome guys you have.

A little sad that the twins group died. Oh well it was fun for a while.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on February 9, 2014 at 6:08pm: I just joined the sub group as Sam will be on a sub. Have only been a few days and my they are a fun bunch. Must be cause one would go nuts with your sailor in no communication for months at a time, so you have to be crazy fun.

Thanks for the link. If you don't mind I will share it.
