A little about me:
I live in San Jose, CA, and both my twin boys, 22, have now enlisted and will be in the Nuclear Program. I am so proud of them, and yet very anxious, too. It's hard to be too nervous when they are both grinning from ear to ear... Ryan leaves April 2012, and Kevin May 2012. I also have twin daughters, 27, and they are very excited for their brothers too, and are busy making their own way in life. I'm a very proud mom...!
I am here to support my

    Hi twinsmom, I saw that your son is ship 11 div 167...that is where my son is.  Can we exchange their names on this site?  Also we are from Oregon.     shell

    My sons name is Travis 18, his younger brother is Tyler 17.  Wow! Two sets of twins :)

    I just got an "I need information" phone call it was GREAT to finally hear his voice, said he is doing ok... and these first few days have been rough, not enough sleep, ha. He is a section leader, I asked him if he knew your son, he wasn't sure as they go by last names. Tyler got to talk as well, I know he has been worried about his big brother. I am thankful there was no school today so we were both home:)

    He told me his division was a good one, so that is a relief also.

    I asked him about the PIR date, as I have not received my letter, he says to wait as he has to pass something first. So...? I do know BC is 7.5 to 9 weeks. Did you get your letter?

    Twinsmom, it is so good to meet you as well.

    Hello Twins, I received the letter today and PIR is 6/1. I have been looking for flights, hotels, car... Have you booked yet?  Any suggestions...? I am new at this. It is going to be expensive so I am up to saving anywhere I can.  Thanks, Shell
