I have only found a couple of people in this group.  Please let me know if you are, as the different groups are planning on wearing certain colors of scarves to PIR.  Dana

my daughter is in Ship 03 Div 146. What color are we wearing?

Any ideas?  The only color that I have heard about that is taken is pink.  Do you have any idea what time they leave for grad n go?

Dana

no she didn't say. She is going to school there so I was hoping she had the weekend off, oh well. Color wise I don't care, what do you think?

Hi Ladies....I think we should wear something bright that can be seen...Yellow?  lime green?  Also, juliea243 where is your SR off too?  My daughter said something about being a grad n go also.  Is this true for everyone in div 146?  Trying to get an idea as to whether I can spend the weekend with her.  Gosh, I hope so...I miss her!

 

My daughter is staying in great lakes, but I've heard that the all od div 146 is a grad and go, bummer. Yellow or lime green sounds good to me

Either color is good with me.  The problem is going to be to try and find scarves this time of year.  I just got a call from my son.  He sounds tired, but seems to be coping really well. 

I just spoke to my son and asked him when exactly they leave if they are grad n go.  He said he didn't know yet.
I spoke with my daughter yesterday also!  Yippee!   She sounds good.  She also stated that she didn't have much information but their division was a grad n go.  It was so good to hear from her.  This is the first time she hasn't cried when it was time to go. 
I talked to my daughter today!!! They sell those scarves people wear made of cotton all year just for the looks. also silk ones for the spring
Ok, how's yellow?

sounds good

So have we settled on yellow?  A bright yellow as opposed to a pale yellow, yes?
