Hello All!
I'm so glad I found this site!
My son is in division 070 and we just booked our flight for PIR! We are so excited!
He briefly mentioned "hell week"... does anyone know if it's this week or the beginning of next week.? he is very vague in his letters!
also, i just read about ribbons (what a great idea!)....do the different colors stand for different career paths or is it just a preference?

I believe it is just a preference as to which one you want to get, I ordered the proud navy mom and I believe it was red but cant remember cause so much is going through my head right now, also ordered a challenge coin for my SR

High my son is in div 069. He is my only son and I am very proud he is doing this for himself. I get scared for him and myself as well but also know that this is a growing experience for all involved. Have our room booked at the navy lodge.
