SHIP 03 DIV 089
So the form letter FINALLY came today and now we know that our loved ones have a PIR date of 3/16. Anyone else out there? I need to start looking at hotels and plane tickets. I was trying to hold off until we had the actual date.

Welcome, Jenn! Our hotel is right next to Sarge's M&G so we may end up there unless this group decides differently in which case we will make an effort to find you all.

I think we are going to try to make it to the Meet & Greet; it sounds like fun. We are planning on taking the car over to base the night before and leaving it there. We will take the hotel shuttle to the PIR in the morning because they said the traffic is going to be so bad.

Attention Ship 089 Ribbon and scarf information to wear to PIR. I like this idea and think maybe our division should do this. Let me know your thoughts.. All the information is below. RIBBON INFO: (If you want to place a ribbon order please send the info below to me in a message so that I can get started on your ribbons). 1. Name of SR (first or last name, or what you want to be on the ribbon) 2. division number ... 3. PIR date 4. How many ribbons you want (suitable for men also, not frilly) 5. gold or silver letters (800 div's usually go with black ribbons and gold letters) 6. Your name and address for shipping 7. Your phone number in case I have any questions 8. Your email address 9. Is your sailor in bootcamp band or choir? (900 Div’s a music note added to ribbons) 10. Do you have another family member who is active duty/reserves/retired/veteran of the military? (flag added to each ribbon to honor them) 11. Will you be paying with PayPal or Mailing your payment? 12. How did you hear about my ribbons and other items? And have you “liked” my page on facebook? How to Pay for Ribbons: Your total order ships for $6.00. The ribbons are $6.50 each. If you buy 4 or more ribbons the price drops to $6.00 each. So you get 4 ribbons with Priority Shipping for $30.00. You can get window decals that will ship with your ribbon order for $5.00 each. And, you can add a scrapbook embellishment order with no added shipping cost that will also ship with your ribbons. When you send me your order I will send you a total. Scarf Info: If you would like to order scarves let me know. The plain solid color scarves come in pretty much any color you want. The plain ones are $8.00 each. If you want the ones with a machine appliquéd anchor on them they are $13.00 each. And if you want the anchor and DIV number they are $20.00. They also come in a US Navy Print, Blue and White Star Print, Zebra Print, Tiger print, Breast Cancer Ribbon Print, and your choice of two or three colored fringed scarves. I can send you a pic of whatever you would like to see or you can see them on my facebook pages. The scarves and any other items you order will ship free with your ribbon order. If you are not ordering ribbons the most you will pay for shipping everything you order will be $6.00. Thanks so much and let me know if you have any questions,

I just had a very brief phone call from my SR. He sounded very tired and hoarse but otherwise ok. I am so happy

So all is well in the division? Were they all getting to call? We have some wives in this div that still have not spoken to their husbands so I thought I'd ask.

Very cool. We haven't heard from ours tonight, but did get a call last week. We have had several letters this week. What surprised me was that they trickled in over the days instead of all coming on the same day like the previous weeks. I was hoping that it meant that they weren't limited to only mailing letters on Sunday. Not really sure.

This was my first call and it was very brief. He said that they were supposed to get to call last Sunday but something happened and they all did not get to call. He said he may get another call next week. He only had 10 minutes and he wanted to call the girlfriend too so it was pretty short. He said last week was pretty busy and he did not have time to write.
