<p>When my twins were 2 y.o. my DH was commissioned as an AF medical officer, a year later I was commissioned as well. For the next seven years they saw their parents in uniforms almost daily. During the three years we spent at Spangdahlem AB in Germany both girls loved to watch the F-15s and F-16s fly around. At Travis AFB they saw a different side of the AF and politics became a big influence with all of the Clinton controversy in the media everyday.
Both of them came away from those early experiences with a very real appreciation for the military. As they got older the differences in their personalities became more apparent. One is very, very socially outgoing and the other is very focused on academics and goals. Their grandparents have been very generous over the years and have sent them to summer camps that interested them. One went to Aviation Challenge in Huntsville, AL, the other went to youth political camps.<br>
Buckaroo, the AFA bound twin, became very interested in the Academy by the time she was in Jr H. She has remained very focused on that goal and did not even apply to any other university until we insisted. Her twin sister is planning on going into politics.<br>
Same life, same passion (our country), different tracks.</p>
