Matthew Maurino and Spc. Joseph Maurino are deployed to Qatar together and they say that makes it easier to be away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou don\u2019t feel as far away from home when your brother\u2019s here. Especially your twin,\u201d Matthew, an infantryman with Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 114th Infantry Regiment, said in an Army release. \u201cIt feels like I got a cheat code for a deployment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both brothers serve as part of the security forces element for Area Support Group-Qatar. They found themselves filling up the last two open spots at Camp As Sayliyah,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2019\/03\/08\/defense-officials-received-some-weird-gifts-from-foreign-governments-in-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Qatar<\/a> after Matthew was placed into one of the two spots when he was attending<a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/03\/08\/lieutenants-appearing-soon-at-an-army-basic-training-platoon-near-you\/\" target=\"_blank\"> one-station unit training<\/a> at Fort Benning, Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the opportunity arose for the brothers to deploy together, they knew there was no doubt about it. \u201cBefore he (Matthew) even was finished with OSUT, I knew was going on the deployment,\u201d Joseph, an infantryman with the New Jersey Army National Guard\u2019s Bravo Company, 1-114th, said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While deployed, the natives of Manalapan, New Jersey spend time together, smoking cigars and going to the movies on their days off. The brothers, born less than three minutes apart, also make up for any lost time spent apart while working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUsually we\u2019ll just knock on each other\u2019s door at obscene hours of the day like 1 o\u2019clock in the morning. I\u2019ll get over there and he\u2019ll blast some music as he\u2019s telling me all these crazy stories he had. &#8230; Either me doing it or he\u2019s doing it,&#8221; Joseph said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou miss out on a lot, as a twin especially, when they\u2019re so far away and you don\u2019t have time to talk,\u201d he said. \u201cNow that he\u2019s here, I don\u2019t really lose that. I\u2019m not nearly as homesick as I would be.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joseph\u2019s start into the Army came somewhat unexpectedly, by needing something to write with for a class. \u201cI basically was at lunch one day and a recruiter was there and I needed a pen for class and I took it,\u201d Joseph said in the release. After that, Joseph spent time talking with the recruiter before making the Army his next step after graduating high school in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matthew knew he wanted to serve his country since he was a young boy, but didn\u2019t expect it would be before finishing up a college degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t plan on joining so soon, I planned on going to college first. But my brother came back and I saw him in his nice uniform and I said, you know what, I might as well join up now, get some excitement going and go to college when I get back,\u201d Matthew said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They still enjoy keeping connected with their family at home in New Jersey. They each strive to keep alive a plant in a small pot that their mother sent them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMe and Joe we make sure that this grass plant is in the best condition possible. We try to make this grass plant survive as long as possible,\u201d Matthew said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After their time in Qatar is up, Matthew and Jospeh plan to continue serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matthew has already set his sights on earning a college degree to become an officer, while Joseph is pursuing his college degree and plans to move back to New Jersey and join the New Jersey State Police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You could call it force
