Blessed Sunday!
"He makes the whole body fit together perfectly.
As each part does its own special work, it helps
the other parts grow, so that the whole body is
healthy and growing and full of love."

Good Morning! Yes, we encourage you to participate in your discussion groups above to get to know each other, but be sure to stay on this page too! Lots of info will be on here!
Good Morning to all! By the way, I am surprised that there is not more discussion going on in the discussion boards posted above specific to each division.

Where do you order the PIR ribbons from?
Hi Friends!
"You will seek Me and find Me when you
search for Me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:13
lakeview,
What a perfect song for a Sailor's journey!! Who knows? Maybe you can ask your SR when you see him at PIR if this song influenced his choice of the Navy in any way?! Here's the Styx version that I remember...
Come sail, come sail away with me.
Come sail out on the open sea.
Ready to go when the wind blows;
set for adventure we’ll be.
Come sail, come sail away with me.
Don’t know how long the journey will be
or when we will reach the shore.
But I know the sound of the wind and the sea,
and I have heard them call once more.
Come sail out on the open sea.
Ready to go when the wind blows,
set for adventure we’ll be:
Come sail, come sail away with me.
Come sail, come sail away with me.
These are lyrics to a song called "Come Sail Away with Me" by Mark Patterson. I am a vocal music teacher and my middle school students are working on songs for a contest. As I was going through songs with them, I came across this song and a thought hit me. When my son was in 7th grade, he sang this song at contest. Maybe it sparked something in him to want to join the Navy. It's a beautiful song.
Navymom: You can also just enclose a LITTLE moleskin in each letter (once you find it!) so as not to make the letters thick which would make them have to open them in front of the RDCs....they are allowed to have it, but of course would prefer NOT to open mail in front of the RDCs. I have seen many in the past ask families to send this, so thinking that whatever RTC may give them is not very much.
Good Morning All !
Navymom,
Your SR daughter should be able to just ask for the moleskin at Boot Camp and they will just give them to her~~
