Hi friends of 03/070! We are on a countdown of 13 days to PIR! Lets rally here as often as possible to share and support, I sure need it! I am still trying to sort out the scarf color for our division, have a message in to lala's ribbons, she had a list of colors for my last division before we were rolled back, so I want to see WHAT color of green, and/or white we are wearing to show our unity and show up in the crowd at graduation for our SR's to spot! We are staying at the Navy Lodge and I am thinking about Sarges "Meet and Greet" for Thursday night :) Don't forget to get your blue candles ready to burn during Battle Stations!

I have not heard much discussion about scarves? In my last PIR group, every division had a color of scarf they decided on (With lala's help!) to unite us at graduation, as well as our SR's being able to pick us out in that HUGE crown at graduation! So far I have heard in this 03/070 our scarves are going to be green, and or white, so I may make a fleece reversible if I can't get it figured out soon! I have a message in to lala in case she has the big list of division colors that have been picked for these scarves. Just a long piece of cut fleece from a fabric store works fine, and some may sew or glue anchors on them, lala also makes them, but maybe not enough time?... I just want to get an idea of what color of green! Bright, dark, kelly? Ha ha!

I ordered the same ribbons. :) On the facebook page for our DIV is where they were talking about scarves and came up with green and white. After I had not gotten a response to questions about scarf colors I ordered white with blue anchors from Lala as that is what the teen girls going with me liked most. (We thought it would look nice with the ribbons and his uniform.) Since I had already ordered and a couple liked the look of white but several wanted green as we thought nobody else would choose it, we decded to go with both. (I am planning on attempting to incorperate green after I get the scarves. Iknow someone from Michigan State Univ. was saying her school color, That may help with the shade of green.
I am working nights this week and have hit 56 hours already with ver little sleep, I appologize if this is rambling without making sense.-:) I will be so glad when my version of hell week is over.

The blue candle thing was commented on the general PIR 02/17/12 page just a bit ago... a tradition to light it and keep it burning through the night during Battle Stations in support of the SRs! Those of us who pray will be praying! We love those SR's! (Check out Battle Station links) they go from 8 p.m. at night to 8 a.m. and have a capping ceremony in the morning where they are congratulated by their commander (He may smile for the first time and say he is proud while he shakes their hand?!) and then they call home to say "I'M A SAILOR"!!!!! I want to find a link to post here I saw of a capping ceremony... stay tuned! If you know this already, thanks for letting me write it out, it did my heart good!
