I, for one, won't be waving my scarf. I will sit there quietly, crying I'm sure, and proudly watch my son the the other Sailors. I hope my scarf will help my son locate me in the audience and see the pride in my face. A white scarf is very understated and I don't think we will in any way be detracting from the graduatin ceremony. And, if it helps me locate the ladies who have helped educate me in Navy ways, cried with me after receiving a call and cheered my son and the others on from afar, then I will be overjoyed.

believe me none of you are going to be a distraction. I have been there and it is awesome. In the winter I am sure most people especially females will be wearing scarves and hats and gloves and whatever else they can to stay warm. Wearing a scarf and/or a ribbon will not be a distraction. Now if you had seen the way some of the women dressed for PIR in the summer you would definitely call that a distraction. Leopard print mini skirt, black clingy top with way too much cleavage and fishnet stockings, it was awful and very much a distraction. My 16yr old boys eyes just about popped out of his head and there were several like that. I could not believe the way some people dressed.

Someone had asked how we would wear the scarves, so I put the image from Google together with a picture of one of Ribbon Queens superimposed on it. I meant it as an example of what we might do. It helped me to visualize it better.

MommyErin,
I don't know the color of any of the divisions. To be honest, this division color thing is a bit confusing. Some have told me that moms of a particular PIR group choose their colors. Others refer to the division colors assigned at RTC. I have asked my son what his division color is, but have not received a response. You could try the company that makes the division t-shirts, Here's their contact info:
Poseidon Sportswear 972-347-6655. Ask for Caryle. Leave a message if they don't answer. Their email address os navytees@gmail.com.
Let us know what you find out. Thanks!

I am going to tally up the "votes" when I get home from work this afternoon and post the results. At this point, it looks like "white scarves" will win.
