Twin boys - One leaves 7/8/14 one leaves 7/29/14
Hi there - I'm Cyndi. My boys both were sworn in, in August and they are finishing their senior year. Jonathon leaves the 8th - Special Operations rating and Tyler leaves the 29th - Air Traffic Control Rating. I'm so grateful for this site...as time grows closer, I know I'll learn so much more but for now I know that they're leaving on those dates and that I'm savoring every single moment I can. My husband Alex and I have four kids - the twins, our daughter Lauren who is 15 and our son Ethan who is 11. NONE OF US can imagine the day-to-day without Jon and Ty. I just wanted to introduce myself....Grace and Peace.

One of my twin boys leaves for BC in July. We are in the same boat together as my boys are finishing their Senior year also. Right now we are making sure every "LAST" is a special memory. I would love for my other twin to join the military, but he is stubborn and doesn't want to be anything like his brother. I worry that they won't realize how much they miss each other until the one twin leaves.

It's odd that the boys leave on two different date! My son leaves July 9. He will be a Machinist rating. We do not live far from GL so we it is a comfort-when he goes to A school, etc. I had to laugh when he went to his DEP meeting last week. He is in Cross Country and lost weight. His recruiter told him he needs to gain 10 lbs. Of all the problems to have:) Lol

Hi Cyndi, I'm Corliss my son leaves for BC on 7/7 for CS (Culinary Specialist). But it was not his desire he is looking for an opening for another position. What he was looking for was not open yet . The funny thing is my son loves to cook so he is not upset. I am divorced mom and raised by two children (Whitney, 22 and Donald 24) myself while living through my disability. I taught my children to cook small meals on the nights I had my treatments. My son blossomed in the kitchen. My hobbies are cooking, crafting, reading, and surfing the net.
