He said yesterday's PIR had 50 baskets!!! They had over 400 people !Let's see if we can beat their record !! He said that the baskets can be anything, i.e., the state you are from, wine/cheeses, etc and that some of them go to Walmart in Great Lakes and create them then instead of flying with your basket.…See More

The baskets are raffled off at the meet & greet and the money is used for future meet & greets. Raffle tickets are sold at the event --- $2 each, 5 for $3, 7 for $10 and 15 for $20. It's my understanding that Sarge pays for everything and with these baskets being raffled it helps with some of the cost.

FYI, I'm planning to bring a basket, too. Currently contemplating Navy-related items: challenge coin, blue candles, etc. It's a work in progress!
