Good morning!! Here I am! I purchased some yellow fleece fabric for my scarf last night and ordered an anchor applique online yesterday. Let's hope it looks okay when I finish my scarf!! :) I was not able to find #'s for the Div at the fabric store. Does anyone have ideas?

Once you get a color decided for your division, another good idea is to add the color to the title of the Division discussion. The member that started the discussion is the only one who can edit it. So contact them. You just click the "Options"button...too right... and edit the discussion...make sure to click "Save" when done...bottom right.

Quick question - need scarf colors to post for divs: 82, 84, & 917 and I'm working and can't check all the discussion threads. Could someone check in for me and post to the "All Division" thread, above?? THANKS : )

**GATE PASSES @ AIRPORTS**

Jenny asked a good question, so I'm posting the answer here. To spend time at the airport with your SR, you need one of two things.

(1) If you are departing from the same airport on the same day, your own BOARDING PASS will get you in. Life usually isn't that simple, though, so you'll likely need to use #2.

(2) Air Carriers (American, Delta, etc.) have long issued GATE PASSES for a family member to spend time at the gate for special circumstances. For example, a parent taking an "unaccompanied minor" to a flight, or when a senior (like my grandmother) flies. Military departures fall under this category.

You obtain your GATE PASS from the ticket counter of the Carrier your SR is flying on, and YOU NEED the Carrier and Flight info, along with your SRs name, in order to obtain the pass(es).You will also need to show photo ID.

The easiest way to get your gate pass is to MEET the group of Sailors at the terminal BEFORE they "check in" for their flights and obtain their boarding passes. The Navy transports whole groups of Sailors to the airport by bus. (Be aware, this could be at 2 am!!) In my case, the bus was scheduled to depart GL at 6, so we estimated they'd be at Midway around 7. It just so happened, a USO volunteer was assisting the group through the process of checking in. I don't know if this always occurs, but if you can be there during this time, as soon as all the Sailors got their boarding passes, all the family members were put through the check in line to obtain their gate passes. Another advantage of going at the same time as your sailor is that Midway put the military members and the family through a shorter security line.

If you miss this "mass check in," simply go to the ticket counter and request the gate pass for your sailor and provide the flight info. You will need to go through security, just as if you were boarding a flight. Off come the shoes, empty your pockets, take laptops out of computer bags, etc.

IF YOU DRIVE to the airport (personal or rental car), here's another hint. The parking structure at the airport charges a higher "per hour" rate. Elect to park at one of the "long term" parking lots just down the street. The daily rates there are cheaper than four hours at the airport lot. They will drive you to the airport and pick you back up, and if you tell them you're visiting your SR, they keep your vehicle at the front of the lot for your convenience,

crimltn:  Your SR will know when Battlestations is for that division.  Be asking in a letter or phone call and post on here "I have a BattleStations date for Division 086" when you have one.  Others can private message you for that date (not dates on the board are allowed).  They should be last to go (with 085) since they go numerically (900 division goes randomly but usually by Tues of PIR week so they can practice for their PIR performance).
