Hi All - so this PIR group is wanting all of us to wear scarves so we can quickly identify each other. They are doing colors by division. Are any of you in? Purple, green and pink are taken. any suggestions on colors if you guys are interested/
I'm in. Any other color.....blue? yellow? brown? black?
just an fyi...I believe another group is talking blue...but I think they are not doing scarves...not sure.
I guess one of us should hurry and claim lol
How about yellow? They would probably stand out really well so we can see each other!! Got the first call today from my SR! I was dancing around in my hallway from excitement.. he sounds good. Said it has been a long four weeks! :-) Hugs to everyone! ~Betsy
ok we are yellow- Krissy please put yellow after out DIV
Hey y'all! If you're connected on FB request yourself to be in this group I made! ;-) So we can post pictures, get to know each other & also keep in touch after PIR! :-) It's so easy on this group page too!
If you haven't checked out the new encouragement questionnaire in the discussions be sure and check it out. It is funny and has a great paragraph of encouragement for battle stations. This is the one I made for my daughter, you may have to tweak it a little since my Sailor is a girl. I hope you all like it :-)
where is it?
look above the PIR group page and it is toward the top of the Discussion entitled Encouragement Questionnaire :-)
