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 doubletrouble on December 17, 2013 at 5:12pm: Hi Sierra! Sounds like you have a busy year ahead of you. Both our sailors will be home for Christmas! They get here this Friday!! I'm so excited! And that's my birthday! Best birthday present ever! They will be here two weeks!
Everyone take lots of pictures to share. Can't wait to see & hear about everyone's visits.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on December 17, 2013 at 3:47pm: Well hello out there Twin Moms. We are counting down the day's til we leave for Pasadena. Only 10 days til wewe leave! I'm so excited and looking forward to spending time in warm weather for a change. It was 80 degrees there over the weekend compared to our balmy 25. LOL The boys have finally taken both the SAT and ACT and Nathanael applied to Montana State over the weekend. We are anxiously waiting to do the FAFSA thing at the first of the year. Nathanael also has to submit his application to University of Nevada-Reno. The boys are taking finals this week and then it's onto our final semester of high school. Woo Hoo!!!

So who gets to spend time with their Sailors for Christmas? I know one of CO-twin's boys will be home
Anyone else? I hope you get to spend some quality time with them, even if it's only over the telephone. I would LOVE to hear an update on how all of your Sailors are doing.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on December 13, 2013 at 3:23am: I've been so BUSY lately. Hoping to find some time to plust recipes soon.

CMS76... So glad your other twin went to PIR. It was good for him to see his brother again. Hang in there for round two and keep us up to date on your Sailor's and recruit's progress.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 12, 2013 at 1:15am: Oh that is so great. Twins do have a special bond. Glad they got to be together. Do you have more pics to post? I will be warmer next tome.
I added a re pie sharing discussion above, please add something that is your twins favorite. I posted two.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 11, 2013 at 7:16pm: The U.S. Navy answers the question: "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Naval Education and Training Command (NAVEDTRA): The purpose is to familiarize the chicken with road-crossing procedures. Road-crossing should be performed only between the hours of sunset and sunrise. Solo chickens must have at least three miles of visibility and a safety observer.

Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS): Due to the needs of the Navy, chicken was involuntarily reassigned to the other side of the road. This will be 3-year unaccompanied tour and we promise to give the chicken a good-deal assignment afterwards. Every chicken will be required to do one road-crossing during its career, and this will not affect its opportunities for future promotion.

Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC): This event will need confirmation; we need to repeat it using varied chicken breeds, road types, and weather conditions to confirm whether it can actually happen within the parameters specified for chickens and the remote possibility that they might cross thruways designated by some as "roads."

Naval Intelligence(IT): What chicken?

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM): The chicken was instructed to hold short of the road. This road incursion incident was reported in a Hazardous Chicken Road-Crossing Report (HCRCR). Please re-emphasize that chickens are required to read back all hold short instructions.

NAVSEASYSCOM's Chicken Systems Program Office (PMS400CSPO): In a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. The CSPO helped the chicken change to continue meeting its mission. However, the actual crossing of the road has not occurred due to the number of action items still open from the meeting.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 10, 2013 at 10:08pm: I tried to find something twin like but couldn't find anything I liked. Let me know if any of you find anything.

Had your peach jam in greek yogurt for breakfast this morning yum.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on December 10, 2013 at 10:04pm: I like the graphic CO-twin...but maybe there should be TWO cups. LOL

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 10, 2013 at 9:56pm: Just looking backwards, Boy DT your boys look like their dad I think?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 10, 2013 at 11:56am: Do you guys like the new pic I put for the group?

How many get sailors for Christmas?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 10, 2013 at 3:10am: Just you wait, you will here an unbelievably moving performance at his PIR not long from now. Also who knows. One of my other N4M friends has a son who sings beautifully and she got to hear him sing the National Anthem at a few official Navy functions. She posted a video of one. They have the really talented use that gift. Will post those tomarrow. The discussion is called Galley for multiples.
