Good morning to you too and everyone. I'm sure we're all excited for PIR. It can't get here fast enough. Seeing our sons (and husband) graduate will be the best Christmas present ever. I've been thinking alot about all the recuits lateley. Aren't they in "Hell Week" right now? My son told me he probably wouldn't have time to write this week because they would be so busy. At least they've made it through the first half of BC it's down hill from here on out.

Just a heads up on the ribbons some of you guys have been ordering to wear to PIR. All the ribbons that I have received payments for were shipped today. Please let me know what you think of them when they arrive. I know you will all wear them with pride when you see your Sailors. If anyone else would like more info on ordering the ribbons just send me a friend request on this site or an email to uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Thanks so much :-)

Leilla I ordered some waiting to get them this week. I have heard such good things about them, check out her website there are pictures and prices. Does anyone know if our guys have a division flag, I read where others know what there division flags look like and the moms are wearing scarfs to match the color of the flag, thought that would be a good idea for us for graduation, but I have know clue what color their's is. Next letter ask your recruit maybe one of us will get a answer. Better yet if they call add the questions to your many others. i have a list of questions on my refrig.

In my sons last letter he made the comment that he thought their division flag would look "Bad Ass" when they got it done. What that means I don't know! Hopefully one of us will get a little more info from our recruits. I'm really hoping we all get to me each other at graduation. I plan on going to Sarge's Meet & Great too.

Most definitly we will have to find each other there, if we all have the same color scarf it would make it easier. I think their brother division is wearing red. Or we all just wear a bad ass scarf, if thats the only info we can get. I think we all will get to sit together at graduation, Families sit in their division section. Do they design it and make it, wondering if they sew it. I read where at the end of BC one division cut it up so everyone could have a piece of it. Off to do some Christmas shopping. 28 days left.

You can also reach me through my email at: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Let me know if you would like more info. Thanks so much, Lora
