OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by Diana Ross on February 16, 2012 at 2:37am: We're going to Sarge's, and also ordering ribbons and scarf from LaLa in the DIV color.

Comment by Micki (Yokosuka Japan~ USS GW) on February 16, 2012 at 12:35am: Hi "A"

I found out about the calls from 03/095 from the RTC facebook page. A SR's wife got a call from her SR who needed banking info and while on the phone he told her the 3 week scheduled call was going to come on 2/14/12. I don't think anyone really knows other that something like the above happening. But on the facebook page, people are quick to say "hey I got my call and tell everyone what division is calling" Here is the website: https://www.facebook.com/#!/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand

I don't know about the color of the division, but I would like to know :) as my daughter is in that division :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 15, 2012 at 11:42pm: So sorry you missed the call. I hope she was able to call another family member when she didn't reach you. It is good to have the voice mail so you can hear her anytime you want :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 15, 2012 at 9:27pm: proud mom 93 I sent you the info you requested let me know if you have any questions.

Comment by JoeyLynn85 on February 15, 2012 at 9:14pm: Everyone that has an SR in 04/807 I will be ordering Black and Gold Bandannas in bulk and bring them to Sarges Meet and Greet...I have not put in this order yet if you would like me to get some for your group as well please private message me and let me know how many you need. They are a $1 a piece and you can just pay me at the meet and greet. We are going with Black and Gold because those are the Division colors. Please let me know ASAP and if you know of other friends or families that are not on this site please pass along this message and just give me a number. The more people we have with them the easier it will be for our SR's to point us out in the crowd!! Cant wait to see everyone in 4 weeks!! 30 days everyone!!

Comment by navymom092 on February 15, 2012 at 8:36pm: Sorry I don't get on during day but get incoming messages at work. I also plan on going to Sarge's if we make it in early enough. We are driving from Alabama. Please let me know color for div 092 via email. I can't believe today is half way mark. Thanks to RTC for taking good care of our loved ones!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 15, 2012 at 7:42pm: proud mom 93 and Mary send me a friend request on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com and I will send you an explanation about choosing colors. be sure and include your DIV and PIR date with your message. Thanks :-)

Comment by Mary123 (ship 03 div. 090) on February 15, 2012 at 6:42pm: I have some questions: I was going to order a ribbon from Lala but am not sure what my son's division color is. How do I find that out? Also, my sister and her husband want to come to graduaton (which will make 4 of us) and I'm not sure if we'll be able to meet up before graduation. Does she need to go through the gate with me? And I'm planning on going to Sarge's Meet and Greet.
