Patty, you can request friend with Lala Ribbon Queen and send her a message, she may be able to make something for you real quick. I just received my scarf and ribbons today. They are awesome! and a wonderful keepsake. If not, just buy any purple scarf at a store, or just wear something purple :) See you on the 10th.

Hi ladies! I am not sure how many of us are here in this group. With Darcie not being around, it has been very quiet here. I just want to stir something up and keep our group connected. Now that, most of us received "I am a sailor!" call (I haven't yet, but being very positive) we are onto the next thing, getting ready for our PIR trip (this time, next week, most of us will be in Great Lakes) How exciting!!! I am hoping to meet all you ladies at meet and greet (I am going to Sarge's) and getting to know everyone a little better. But before that, let's do a little introduction so we know what to call each other when we meet in person. Let me start.

My SR is: Chase (first name)
My SR's job at RTC: Mail Petty Officer (yes, he is the second MPO for Div 062, along with Darcie's husband)
