Comment by SailorBrittysMom on July 13, 2011 at 10:18am: How do I ad a photo to my comment box?

Comment by SailorBrittysMom on July 13, 2011 at 10:13am: Ok if I'm correct any ribbons or lanyards our just special made/ ordered by division?

Diannep I'm totally happy to make name tags with photos for meet&greet! What size are they so what I make can just slip into what the ramada gives out...
Thanks I do NEED some sort of project!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 13, 2011 at 9:38am: I have seen only one group do the lanyards. Not sure the cost but I am sure the more you order the cheaper the price. I know when you get them printed they all have to say the same thing so you could put The PIR Date on them and maybe put all the DIV numbers on there. I wonder if they charge per letter. I really have no clue, sorry. And, I am not sure how many DIV's will be in this group but the more Div's there are the more people who will want the lanyards or the personalized ribbons or both. I already have several orders for ribbons from this group and some of them are already finished and ready to ship. They do look great with each individual Sailors name on them. They look so much better in person and I wish I could get better pictures. I have had several people asking the size they are about the size of your hand or 4 to 6 inches from top to bottom depending on how long the name is.

One thing that will also make it easier to recognize everyone at the meet and greet is to change your icon picture to one of yourself. We did this a couple weeks before PIR so that everyone would be able to put faces with names. It is funny how you can picture someone in your head and then when you finally meet them they look nothing like you thought in your head lol.

Comment by diannep on July 13, 2011 at 7:45am: SailorBrittysMom: Are you talking about the ribbons that Lala makes for PIR? With the name and division number on them? I'm not familiar with lanyards.

But I CAN give you a project! It is nice at the MeetNGreet to have namestags that have the N4Mom picture icon/screen name of the person with their "real name" below. I know one group had a member do this for all, and it was a great "gift" to them. It could be an ongoing project since I feel sure other members will still be joining here.
The Ramada (where the MeetNGreet is) supplies blank nametags, but it is kind of fun to have the ones I mentioned above since all know each other by that. Think about it! Would be a nice project for you!

Comment by SailorBrittysMom on July 12, 2011 at 11:46pm: I saw some where on here the lanyards with pir dates. I talked to our screen printed & I think the min order was 25, I really want to order then & I'm willing to do the name tags...gives me a project to get my mind off missing my daughter, but I dont need 25, anyone know how those have been done in the past?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 12, 2011 at 7:28pm: Sharon-I am guessing that is why the old site is still up...for the 07/15 PIR until they fix the IE problem.

The certificate error...I have encountered it several times during my husbands deployment as I have handled some of his business. Same thing...I just "trust" the site.

Comment by Bev Ship 02/Div 941 on July 12, 2011 at 7:21pm: ProudGAMom... if it tells you to get me outof here, scroll down to where it says you want to trust this site.... click on it and it will get you there

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 12, 2011 at 7:10pm: Well poo...as if things aren't hard enough!

I'll leave it on 07/15 and let them know and I will delete the posts from the others.

Thanks Sharon!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 12, 2011 at 7:05pm: Well great...so they are running TWO websites...

I just posted to all the others...
