Identical does not always mean the same. Just ask sophomore twins Katie and Kylie Davis

“We’re totally different,” said Katie.

Katie and Kylie both participate in ROTC, although they are in different platoons. Katie is on the drill team.

“Drill team is the platoon made up of 14 different people including your commander who has to memorize between 50-60 commands and you go to different drill meets and see – “

” – Who can perform the best,” chimed in Kylie.

While Kylie is not on the drill team, she is an assistant squad leader and is also a Public Affairs Petty Officer. This position means that she gets to go to all the public appearances of her platoon and take pictures and videos to help update the website.

Despite their different interests in ROTC, both Katie and Kylie said they have trouble being seen as individuals rather than part of a set.

“It’s frustrating because they think that since you look the same you should act the same,” said Kylie.

No matter how different their personalities are, however, physically Katie and Kylie are nearly the same in every way.

“Everyone gets us confused. Our two best guy friends still get us confused,” said Kylie.

Although having an identical twin can be hard – such as sharing everything – both agree that it can be a good thing.

“[The best thing about having a twin is] having the extra best friend,” said Kylie.
