DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Good morning everyone, RIBBON info:
Division 821 black ribbons with gold letters
Division 946 Red ribbons with gold letters
The other divisions have not made a decision yet. We can do them all Navy with gold or silver letters or we can do each division different. There are so few in each division I would stick to Navy with gold or silver letters. Someone from each division can post it or send me a friend request and let me know. Thanks

Lala ribbon queen - I like the navy with gold letters. Can do for all the divisions or my son is div 329. Do you give them out to us, or if not, I like you to send to me. I can cover the cost. I a "newbe" so just am not sure. I know there are 10 divisions in the 10-1 PRI but how many are in each division.

How do you send a "friend request"?

Just click on my name above and it will take you to my page and on the left side click on send a message then it will ask you to add me as a friend. I also sent you a friend request and you can accept that and then send me a message. There are usually 70 to 80 recruits in each division but only a small percent of them are members on this web site. It is sad that so many families don't know about this site. I could not survive without it.

OK so how about 821 Black with gold letters, 946 Red with gold letters and the 300's Navy with gold letters?
Permalink Reply by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 21, 2010 at 7:43pm
okay that works, now everyone just needs to send me their info in a message. Name of recruit, division number, how many ribbons you want, your name and mailing address to send the ribbons to, and put your PIR date so I can keep this group separate from any others who send in orders. You may need to add me as a friend if we are not already friends.

Okay Lala , this is Elaine. I guess I am back to Navy ribbon with gold lettering. I still want 3. If you no longer have my info, let me know. You are awesome to do this for us.

Hi Elaine, I still have all your info. I think you will be happy with the navy colored ribbons. They look very good. They are my favorite :) And thanks, I really enjoy doing it.

Okay, I think I have this down. All 300 divisions will be getting Navy with gold letters, 800 divisions black with gold letters and 900 divisions red with gold letters. This should make it easier for Lala Ribbon Queen as far as the letters go. If you are in the 900 divisions and have a child in the band, she could put something musical on it. Let her know. We will all look so great at PIR and the other parents, who don't know about us, will be wondering where we got them. I am going to contact my sons recruiter and see if they can't do something about letting all families know about the Navyformoms web-site. It appears so many are left in the dark about what is happening with their child once they are PUSHED from the nest.
