PIR is getting closer and closer for this PIR group. I still can't believe September is half over, Here is just a heads up, I am working on the ribbons for your PIR group, I have several that I haven't received the payment for so if you ordered and forgot to send your payment please remember to do that :-) I will begin mailing ribbons for this PIR group in just a few days. If you have any questions at all send me a message or a friend request. Thanks so much!!! Lala

lisab4, yours will be included in the ribbons going out tomorrow or Monday :-) I know you are excited to see them.

Thanks, I will go ahead and make your order and have them ready to ship when your payment arrives.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get an extra ticket for the PIR graduation on Oct. 7th?

Permalink Reply by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 16, 2011 at 11:21pm

You can really get tickets at all. They just have a list and your Sailor can put 4 names on the list not including children under 12. They don't need to be on the list. Sometimes you can find a friend on here to add a name to their Sailors list or your Sailor can add a name to one of his friends who has a spot on his list. Even if you can't get everyone on a list there is still a good chance that everyone who goes will still get into PIR. We had 13 DIV graduating and we took 4 extra guests and they all got in with no problem. If they don't get on the list just go as early as you can. The extra places are first come first serve.

I got another letter today!! Out of order though. Found out that she did call on the 7th, but got no answer. So now I have to figure out why. Guess I'm waiting to hear from her after Battle Stations. Sounds like that will be the only time that they will call again. Let's keep giving our recruits encouragement. Sounds like they are not working as a team (as of the 7th). If anyone saw Lala's discussion about the questionaire, I think we should all send one to our SR's and hopefully they will remember there is no "I" in team. Getting off my little soapbox now....

Yes my daughter said the same thing. There is not a lot of team work and this is the time when it is crucial. I have sent my SR several questionaire's hopefully others will as well. They need to be a team to get through battle stations. Hopefully one of us will get the date of when that is so that we can all light our blue candles and pray on that day!

Hey mooselover, let's have a chat on facebook if not this evening sometime tomorrow.

Sounds good!!

I did not see that...can you tell me more?

Where all the discussions are here on the PIR page is a discussion titled encouraging questionnaire (I think). It is great.

Permalink Reply by Mary...Brittsmom on September 16, 2011 at 8:13pm

Yes, keep scrolling down past all of the groups and there is a title for encouraging questionaire.
