Most of the divisions for our PIR picked colors. Some of us are wearing scarves with the colors. A co-worker is knitting me 3. My SR is going to South Carolina. He will leave sometime on Saturday. We are planning on meeting him at the airport.

Of course, the scrapbook won't really mean much to him until about ten years from now. I'm going to get him to send me pictures and I'm going to make this for him. My husband has pictures from when he was in the Navy and they were just all in a box. I put them into an album the best I could after we were married.I thought if I kept up with pictures for my son he would have a great memento of his Navy years.
I made a ribbon with my son's last name and division,like I've seen on here, super easy. The letters are already sticky. I made mine with dark navy and glittery letters(last name and division)
Finally, I need to pick a meet and greet. I'm bringing my husband, and 17 year old son. Which would be best for families? I'm staying at Navy Lodge with a rental car.

I think the scrapbook sounds super cool! And he will love it, even if its 10 yrs down the line. I also have a ribbon, I ordered mine tho. Yellow with Navy Mom and ship/Div..
Im not sure about the meet/greet.. To me it looks like the Ramada is more family friendly. Thats the one I am going to attend. Im new at all this so its just a guess.
I think we are staying at the sleep inn (or comfort inn). It will be me, my husband and my sons best friend. His dad, step mom and two 1/2 brothers are going but not sure they will be going to the meet/greet. I didnt tell them about it. I figure his step mom should see something about it if she is on any of the web pages. I gave her the info but have not seen her anywhere.
