The ribbons are a keepsake to wear to PIR. They have the name of the sailor and their division number on them with stars and an anchor. If your recruit is in the band or choir let me know and I can also put a music note on it. Here is a pic. I am going to put a pic of the red with gold for the 946 div and the black with gold for the 800's divisions. They also help the families in this PIR group recognize each other at PIR. You don't have to get them, and you can even make your own if you want or you can order them from me. I have been making them since my daughters PIR July 23rd. I only charge enough to pay for the supplies. Not trying to make a profit just trying to keep busy while I am missing my daughter :)
