That's great news. I am so glad to hear that. I have not heard yet from my son, but will not hold my breath. But I am relieved that inspection went well. That's awesome news!! I feel much better now.

@LisaS and britefuture I sure hope so! I wish I could have spoke to him. I have so many questions. It's hard being a mom and having your children in close relationships. My son's girlfriend is a doll and contacts me after every communication she has from my son but I still wish I could have spoken to him.

Hi moms! I wish there was some way for our soon to be Sailors to see us at PIR...maybe by wearing the same color scarf or something to let Ship 03 Div 091 & 092 recognize where we are sitting, also would help us to identify one another. Ideas??

I think that would be a great idea.....I wear a houndstooth one all the time with my black coat. I have a bright red scarf also, but I will get whatever color we agree on!

Just wanted to make sure you saw all5roc's reply...there will be signs there and each division will line up in front of their div number.

I bought an Amercan Fag scarf in the beginning of this, "roller coaster ride". Butt, I'm sure there will be a lot of those. We could be really crazy and wear Preakness style hats. JUST KIDDING

Hello Ladies! I love the idea of us sitting together and wearing common colors shows unity for our Recruits. Does anyone know what their flag looks like, what colors? This would be a good start on choosing a color of scarf. I will write my Son and ask if he can give me some info. If anyone speaks to their recruit try and find out.
Love the idea

DNmom, the sailors will see us and know where we are at during PIR because they line up in front of us. They have signs of where each div's family will sit. That way we can see them. I have daughter that PIR last year and she spotted us immediately!! She carried flag so was so much easier to see her-front & center!! So any flag carriers-be prepared for good photo shots!
