Hey! I live in Florida too my bf is in div 369 he said he made a friend from Wyoming who he is closest with. And the boots gave him crazy blisters. But when he called me at the end of the convo I could here yelling in the background telling everyone to get off the phone! But he passed his PFA and from reading everyone's post it sounds like this Div is doing great all around :)

Okeemom... funny, My son is a boot wearing country boy misplaced in the city. He only wore sandals as a child, my daughter on the other hand loves her flippy floppies!! Yes the boots are hard to get use to. The dress shoes are worse. I will say this, to all moms that have kids not use to wearing dress shoes bring a large foot soaking bowl. Your kids will love you for it. They do not get to soak the feet. Showers only. Since we have no females in this division I can say "maybe" even a bubble bath is good for our kids to soak. It is almost a must for the girls, but the guys (well mine) likes to soak his back often in the tub. I make him add "Mr.Bubble" I know he is dirty after working and he wont scrubb that tub... lol

That is so funny!! My son is a transplanted city boy now country boy and loves to wear his jeans, boots or tennis shoes and drive his truck!! He would rent a tuxedo for Prom or whatever and the dress shoes that came with it was only for pictures. He always put his tennis shoes (do they still call them that?). He threw the dress shoes back in the truck. If you look at my pictures, you will see what I mean!! It is who he is and that is why people love him so!!

Kids are so funny, my son wanted to rent a camouflage Tux for his SR prom, like real tree camo for hunting... Had a lifted Dodge Ram, and is tats are all about who he is... English deer mount on his back and cowboy saying on his side. lol
We lived most of his young life in the country and as they way with the economy we had to move closer to his dads work... so we then became city folk. Well they all did I was raised in the city and my parents moved to the country when I was a freshman. Talk about city kid shock lol.... -

With us we live in the country...to go to a mall we travel about 50 min...depending on traffic could be longer. Our town has about 20,000 but in the winter we triple due to all the snow birds. We are 109 miles south of Orlando. But that is okay...great place for kids to grow up but after graduation they need to go and see what else is out in the world. Hence, he chose the Navy to see the world!! My really good boy is becoming a fine youg man!! SO very PROUD!!

Funny how they are all country boys...mine grew up on a farm. The Prom his parents got him a suit and I got him all the extras...and driving was only done on the farm he was never allowed to get his licence. His parents wouldn't allow it so hopefully he will get it in the future. They all seam like a great bunch... I love all the stories!!!! 369 ROCKS!!!! The blisters sound awful....

Hello Ladies,
Just a quick reminder that if you are interested in the PIR Ribbons to be-friend Lala Ribbon Queen so she can send you the information she needs in order to start on them and get them in time. It would be awesome if we could all place an order so we will know everyone. It is so exciting to know that we will be able to meet soon!!! -

Hello Everyone, we live on the North Coast of Ohio and they call my son "Buckeye" he is a city boy who spent a great deal of time on farm in central Ohio so the weather and boots aren't the problem. Making the bed not so much fun. I don't know much about the PIR ribbons? Is there something I need to do?
