danagagirl - you got the one in black right? Are they really made that much smaller than regular sizes. Is it for you or your sailor?
-

Yes I got a black one and they are sized small, I got an extra large and it is very form fitting :) My son said he had got his own, so this one was for me. Not sure if son #2 is ordering one of his but I will. I finally got son #1's Navy Keel Yearbook from boot camp. So funny trying to find him in all the pictures. At least I knew he was the mail guy and they have a picture of him holding up letters for mail call! LOL

Is there a way to see what these look like? I don't know anything about division Tshirts, what do we need them for?

MomAnt, you can order these after PIR at the NEX store. You can probably see them there. You don't need them for anything. Some just like to wear them when they get there, and others buy them for thier sailors.

Ok thank you. Sorry about the silly question. Thought I had missed something!

Not silly at all....I didn't know anything about them until another mom told me. There are never any silly questions!

MomAnt - I ordered one, just because...for a memento. The front has US then NAVY (going down on the right side). On the back is their division flag design.

I cannot get the order form to print out right... It comes out lik super huge and cut off. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know, that's strange. Did you try and print it directly from the link above? If so, try copying and pasting it into a separate document and then print it from there. Otherwise you might have to change the settings somehow.

Division T shirts have the logo on the back that was designed by your SR"s division so they are all unique. I ordered 2 in advance for my SA and my hubby and took one to PIR for my son to take to A school when I met him in the airport. Many families had the t shirts and wore LaLa's ribbons on the day of PIR. It was easy to spot other Moms in the same division. BTW,There are sections marked off for all divisions for the PIR ceremony too.
