KY'smom~ I have no idea about that??? What i can tell you is that my son went in as an E3 & is going to be traing for MAA (master at arms). How about your daughter? I have been wondering why some are graduating on 4/1 & some on 4/8 that went in on the same day.

Overtheedge- My daughter is training for MAA as well so maybe the division does have something to do with the job...???

Wow, only four in your group so far... ask your SR's to write how many are in their divisions. Lets try and get more in each divisions on N4M... wouldn't it be great if we all were! bayleystars I like the pink scarf idea.

Quiltblue- Good idea, I will definitely ask how many in the division I'm very curious how the divisions are split.

Bayleystars- I would be interested in wearing the same color scarf; just let me know what color (doesn't matter to me whatever majority wants)
:-)

My favorite color is turquoise, but I'm open to any color. Are we going to wear the scarfs around our necks, on our purses???

I love purple but will go with the majority :)

Hello! Just wanted to give an update about wearing scarves to PIR 4/01/11... each division is picking a color of scarf to wear (we might encourage other family members to wear the color as well), and that will make us very identifiable in the stands to our division! Think about your color (it looks like 115 has already chosen yellow). and get involved in the comment section on PIR 4/01/11. Thanks. I am keeping a spreadsheet of who is is what division, etc. and looked for people in other groups this afternoon. In your letters, ask your SR to ask their Moms, Dads, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc. to join N4Ms!

Hello ladies,
My middle daughter had her ninth birthday this weekend so I have not been on since Friday morning! I love the scarf idea. I am happy with any color. I am hoping we get letters in the next day or two! Can't wait to see what they have to say.
