SHIP 11 DIV 084
Heard from my son and he graduates March the 9th. I'm so excited to have heard from him. I am wondering if there are any others out there with the same SHIP/ DIV. Please post if you are of this SHIP 11/ DIV 084. I would sure like to hear from anyone else. Missing my son are you?

Ladies, I have a "tentative" date for BattleStations for 083/084. Can't post it on the site, but you can friend request me for it.

HI TrumbullCTmom: My son is 084. Keep your phone handy today, we might be getting a call :) Our scarves are gold, with navy numbers and anchor. I bought my fabric at Joann's. ($5.99 yd) then I cut it 65 inches long and 8 inches wide. I cut my fringe 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long. I used a ruler and a pencil to draw my lines so I could cut straight. Some of the pencil marks did not come out in the wash though. :( I took mine to a place that does monogramming because I was just too busy to run around town looking for a navy anchor and numbers. Good luck and safe travels to Great Lakes! :)

Hi, Trumbull! the Moms of each division pick a scarf color, and then wear them at the meet & greet and at PIR to help ID each other and show solidarity. You still have time to make a fleece scarf, or just buy a simple scarf in the color at Walmart or Target.
To make a fleece scarf, simply cut a strip (loooooooong rectangle) across the width of the fleece fabric (usually about 60" wide). When I made mine, I used a rotary cutter, but scissors will work fine and fleece is VERY easy and forgiving. Choose your width: 8, 10, or 12 inches. Then "square off" the ends and cut fringe. The "fingers" of the fringe are cuts, about 1/2 inch apart and approximately 1.5-2.5 inches deep. This is a fast, simple project. You can get your fleece at JoAnns or any fabric store. I'm going to find you a picture.
