My daughter is in Ship 12 Division 167. I was wondering if anyone has details to what should wear, can we order the photos ahead of time? Have heard that some parents where scarves or shirts that have their childs division on it. Have not found any information about where to get this. Did not get any call this weekend:(

We suggest that you wear dressy or business casual clothing...although you will see a bit of everything there! But your sailors will be in their finest, so keep that in mind, but also remember that you have a good amount of walking that day, so comfortable shoes are a must...plus you will be sitting in bleachers so keep that in mind too.
No, you can't order the photos early. Your SR will be the one to order the photos. He/she can pay for them, and then either keep them to give to you after PIR....or pay to mail them home. If you need to be the one to pay for them, then you can do that in the NEX after PIR and pick up the pictures then.
You can order your SR's division tshirt (has the flag on it that the SRs designed) from the following website:
Just remember that some of the SRs will order these for family members as a surprise!
