Ship12div016mom,
Please don't feel like you have to bring anything or do anything extra for your SR's PIR!! All of you Navy families are there to celebrate your soon-to-be-Sailor sons and daughters!! The focus will be on them, for sure!!
The baskets and decorating hotel room doors are just an extra thing a few do. Definitely it is not a majority thing and totally voluntary in all ways~~
At my Sailor daughter's PIR, our group didn't do either and none of the groups before us did it (that I'm aware of). No one had pitched the idea to us...
Go to the Meet & Greet to get the information that Sarge has for all of you, eat together, and meet each other. If they have name tags, put your Navy for Moms username on the tag too. It is a little hard to meet if you're not looking for each other as there are families there who are not part of N4M~~
Did everyone get a chance to RSVP in the Events section? First put if you will attend, then you can go comment down on that page how many are going in your little group~~ Sarge needs to know to order enough food!

Excited!! Just got a phone call from my son. He's in Div 902. He called with graduation info. I watched the graduation yesterday & I saw him. I'm so proud of him.

Ship12Div016mom- please do not feel like you cant go to the meet and greet or that you have to have a poster for your door. It is not a competition nor should you feel like you HAVE to do these things to be included. I'm sorry if some of us overzealous moms made you feel that way. We are all in this together, we are all Navy Moms. No prerequisite, we all did our time together.

@ship12divmom, i understand exactly how you feel. Im working most of the weekend and long hours just to get out of town for a few days. No basket here, but we are going to attend and will make a donation. Please consider attending. Don't let the basket thing concern you.

I haven't decided if my husband and I will attend the Sarge event. We will be in the area in time but I can't bring a basket or do the door hanging thing. I feel like I'm surrounded by soccer moms( good thing), and I'm struggling just to get the time off work. I'm willing to buy tickets for baskets if I go but all of this basket talk has really made me apprehensive and I'm not sure if I want to be the one mom who opted out of the basket.

Anyone heard which Div won Captains Cup?

Hello All!
Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him."

I agree with everything said about the baskets. If you want to donate but the idea of a basket is daunting. ..you could always pick up a Christmas platter, or a cool picture frame. It doesn't have to be a big thing. Or you can help by just buying a few tickets for the raffle tickets there. Mist important, come and enjoy
