Wear A Pink Scarf to PIR 2/18/2011

Hey everyone, we've decided as a group to wear a pink scarf to PIR to indicate our group and for our Sailors to find us :)

 

Wear a bright pink/hot pink is scarf, its a very common scarf color, but if for some reason your shopping area doesn't carry that shade pink but they carry light pink, pick that so you wont have to go out of your way for a scarf  :)

 

This is going to be a blast!

I was at the Mall Sunday afternoon and saw all kinds of beautiful scarve. I didn't buy on yet though as I was on a mission to buy a couple of new support bras.  (Let's face it, gravity is not our friend ladies).  However, I did buy a pair of high heel boots.  I haven't worn high heel boots in years.  It will be easy to pick me out in the crowd.  I will be the one with the pink scarf falling all over the place!

There could be 1,000+ moms at graduation, but there are only 140 or so of us in this PIR 2/18/11 group on Navy for Moms, so the pink scarf idea will help us find each other.  I guess most families of recruits don't even know about the site...I just stumbled on it 2.5 weeks after our recruit left. So glad I did!
