This is one of the things we did on our PIR date.We also did beads and division numbers.Each division had its own color.I wasn't sure if yall were gonna do something like this or not.I made lots of friends working on the projects.It had given us something to do to pass the time until graduation.

Thanks Diannep, I do make ribbons for anyone who would like to order them. They are a great way to show support for your Sailor, a really good way to recognize other members of N4M's especially at the meet and greet, waiting in line at PIR and even in the mall and airport. It was so cool when my daughter had PIR because I saw everyone wearing the ribbons I made and I could walk up to them and say Hi I am Lala from Navy for Moms. I wish I could go to every PIR and meet all my new friends :-) The ribbons also make a great keepsake for framing or a scrapbook. Here are a couple of pictures, if you want more info send me a friend request on here or send me an email to: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com

Remember, ladies. There are 2 PIR 8/26 groups for the time being. Please join both so that if one is deleted, you won't be "lost."
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir82611
Click on this link to join the other one.
balsuz(Suzanne): Lala makes gorgeous ribbons for you all to wear at PIR. Go to her page and look at them. I bet you will want to order some! Great price and she ships priority mail to you.
Phone calls are random...be ready at any time for them. Also, "scheduled" calls that you may be made aware of through a letter from your SR could be cancelled if the division doesn't perform, etc. So just keep that cell handy all of the time, even in the bathroom and going out to get the mail (calls have been missed in both instances by ladies on this site!).

Lala: Please know that right now, we have 2 groups going for PIR 8/26. Hasn't been resolved yet. So all need to be joining both so that if one deletes, they are still on the other one.

Good morning everyone :-) I am Lala, PIR ribbon Queen, I am here like Diannep and some others to help make this boot camp journey easier for you. My daughter and son-in-law are both in the Navy and based in VA Beach. My daughter had PIR last summer on July 23rd so I have been here over a year already. She was in the Choir/936 DIV and was a Grad and Go (or whatever they are calling it today lol) and she left on a chartered flight for Pensacola. We drove to PIR from NC and stayed at the Navy Lodge. If you have any questions at all feel free to ask. I love this site and I am happy to help in any way I can. Again, Welcome!!!
