According to Arwen, former Navy who has given advice on this site, when there is a holiday like today, they lose a day of traninig. So if Monday was the first training day of the week for your SRs (1-1), it would now slip to Tuesday. So, marmee, if that is true, then tomormrow (Tues) would be 3-1 for your SRs division according to your 1-1- date.

Marmee clay mentioned in my letter that the blizzard hit after he got there but before the rest of the division could so they "held" a week and are actually working a week less cause they are keeping the original PIR date so maybe that affected it??

Just booked our stay at the Navy Lodge for PIR! We will be on the base and can walk to PIR graduation! Two queen beds and a kitchenette. Maybe our son will have me cook something for him. I see that 117 has chosen Navy Blue. Great idea to post it in the title of their discussion! LOL, we are all so smart!

If we are not friends just send me a friend request and I will accept it and then send the info in a message. You can also see pictures of the ribbons on my page by clicking on my name.
