Only five more days,
and I see my baby
in his US Navy Dress Blues,
for his graduation from Boot Camp!
The Navy calls it PIR (Pass in Review)
Only 4 guests per recruit (now full fledge sailors)
are allowed on base to see this event.
He is leader of his unit and will be carrying the flag,
for his division.
I am so, so pumped!
I've got my ribbons for all of us to wear
to honor our Sailor.
I also have my embellishments from Lora McIntosh
to decorate our hotel room door.
I have my Challenge Coin
to give our Sailor
after the graduation ceremony.
And now, I'm in the process of making
the banner,
for our hotel door decoration,
using these:
I'll post more pics of the door,
all decorated when I'm done.
I'm also decorating it
with a ribbon wreath
that I'm finishing up.
(I just have to run to Hobby Lobby for one more item
before I can complete it. And they are closed
on Sundays...so you know where I'll be tomorrow)
In addition, Old Sarge is hosting
a Meet & Greet for all the Navy families.
He holds this event every week, on Thursday
before each PIR.
I'm putting together a raffle basket
to help defer the cost of all of the food
that Sarge puts out for this Meet & Greet.
More posts on the basket, as well, later.
So, it's back to work getting all of this done.
I haven't crafted in quite awhile,
and am a little rusty.
Check back for more posts about these.
