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 November 26, 2013 at 6:35pm: So Sassy mom how was PIR? where are they headed for A School? Hope you got lots of pictures.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 26, 2013 at 12:55am: Sierra I am just worried how Steve will feel. He was promised PO when he graduated A School. They gave it to someone else, he was disappointed. I know two others who got PO after A School. Steve graduated third in his class. I just don't want him to be jealous of his twin.

Comment by Shellbell2000us@yahoo.com on November 26, 2013 at 12:52am: Hey his twin is supposed to go in in march

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on November 25, 2013 at 9:58pm: Welcome Mother of 2...good to hear you got your son's box today. Now you can count down to his PIR. Hope you get that all important form lbetter soon so you can start writing him and mmaking plsns.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on November 25, 2013 at 9:55pm: CO-twin...isn't it harder and it takes longer to advance to each stage if you don't start out at a higher rank like yourr Nuke? I think that the wholee time factor mright be in play. However, I could be completely wrong. Rememher though that now they are two men on completely different paths in the Navy. They will always be your twins, but now is their time to strike out on their own and you just can't compare the two because their jobs are so different. I hope Steven feels that way about it too.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 25, 2013 at 6:49pm: Welcome mother of 2 you can read back and see what we all had to day about twin separation. So will you be able to go twice to PIR? I did and it was kind of neat to see one in Dress Blues and one in Dress Whites. My second twin to go in was kind of lost with out his twin, it has been good for him to have to make his own decisions and develop himself on his own.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 25, 2013 at 3:49pm: I have one Graduating 12-20 from A school.

Please keep this group active. a group is more than two or three posting sometimes.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on November 25, 2013 at 3:41pm: We had a real streak going there for a while of PIR's But the good thing here is there are members in all stages of their navy road.

Some have not posted at all though and some seemed to have dropped out?

Wish we had the fun active group we had to start. The group is alot of fun if we all post often.

I have an issue right now I am worried about. My Steve left for BC a year ago Nov 5th and his twin, Sam left April 23. Well Steve was overlooked for PO when he graduated, he graduated 3rd in his A school class. Sam just made Petty Officer ahead of his twin, graduates A school 12-20. Steve is in his 6th month of deployment. I am worried that he will be bummed out.
