Hi everyone :)  Just wanting to say hi.  My daughter's with 03/113 as well.  So now we know that there are at least 4 SR's in 03/113 lol.  4 more weeks to go!!  Oh, and I know of one SR in particular that would curl up and die if we showed up in pink feather boas! LOL  Love the idea though...

 

Yeah you made it. Ok so I will wear a pink boa if everyone else does! If you agree say AYE! Then I will start my search for one. Maybe at a party store?

hello snow cat welcome aboard!

aye!

I'm sorry Katze90210...I removed your post with your personal info.

It's best not to post your personal info publicly...anyone can access the site...they do not have to be a member. This is for your own personal security. You may send that out privately through the private messaging system to your "friends" on here.  :-)

Also, last names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on the N4M's site as per the Community Guidelines...if you share the same last name. If you do not, still not a good idea. TY.

 

Sorry FTLW just figured since its my info is public knowledge it wouldnt be a problem. But you have a good point and I will respect that. If anyone does want my if please PM me and I will get it to you. I want to make sure we are able to meet up.

03/113 is calling!!!!!  On the phone with my SR now :)

 

Ok so lets talk identifying our proud 3/113. I don't think we should go with the neon pink boas as this might tarnish a very dignified event. So instead a couple of other options:

                                                      1) We go to dollar store and get bright pink felt scarf

                                                      2) We hit up Layla the ribbon lady and have her make scarves for our 3/113

                                                      3) We have Layla make ribbons to put on our dollar store pink felt scarf

Open to ideas

scarves!!!!!

What if we wore pink and had ribbons made?  Then again, we may not make that much of a "statement" for our division unless more moms join the site here to know the "dress code" lol.  Regardless, our huge smiles and tear soaked faces (i KNOW mine will be!) will be a statement enough right? Lol.

 

The whole place will be filled with tear soaked smiling faces, who you kidding? LOL That's why we need to set us apart. It will be me, my husband, and 17 year old son. Who are you guys bringing?   

I wish I could say that our whole clan was coming, but it will be just me I'm afraid.  Not that the rest of the family doesn't want to come!  Her Dad can't come due to his wife being on bed rest until their baby is born (early July), my dad and step mom refuse to fly and it'd be at least an 18 hour drive. Not sure if her grandmother would want to travel....will make that call and ask today actually!  So, that being said, I will have video recorder in hand and lots of pics...provided that's allowed!  I have lots of research to do today apparently! Lol.
