Ship 11 Division 252 & 251
I'm very crafty and have pay pal and was thinking of making ribbons for everyone if you send me like a dollar per ribbon you needed. I'd need to start pretty soon, and if their PIR changes, I'm willing to mail them.
My boyfriend is Ship 11 Division 252. I already have my airplane tickets, and have yet to get a hotel room. His recruiter told me it's safe to buy the tickets now because there is as much chance now of failing as week 8 when they hit battle station's.
So if you want one, get in contact with me and I'll get it rolling.

Woo! I'll message you in the morning when I'm over the shock of buying my plane tickets.
I wonder if they know each other yet? I'm curious as to who Josh's bunk mate is.

I seriously want to know who his bunk mate is now? I send him a letter every day, other than Sunday (but it makes Monday's SUPER long), and I asked him today who his bunk mate is to see if it's one of your son's. I'll probably keep asking until I get an answer. (:

Hi everyone! My sweetheart is Ship 11 Div 251. I'm excited to be a part of the group and even more excited that the PIR was much sooner than he was guestimating. I noted that the post said 252 & 251 and was just informed that they are brother divisions. I would definitely be interested in some ribbons for myself and his parents for the graduation, though I'm not overly computer savvy when it comes to paypal lol. I will get with his parents and see about this though and let you know asap! So, hello everyone and I'm glad to meet others who have loved ones my sweetheart is training with or potentially bunking with!

Oh wonderful! I must not have gotten all the replies in my emails to have missed that you're same Div. Have you heard from your son yet? My boyfriend has told me some interesting stories about what's been happening with them. Maybe they know each other too. Sorry, its just so exciting to know someone else has a loved one in with him. Sorry I missed you too, its not the same only seeing the site via email on my tiny phone. Wonderful meeting you Roxanne, best of luck to all of us while we cheer on our men and eagerly wait to hear from, and see them!
