RECRUIT JOURNALS
Journals are posted to USCGBOOTCAMP by close of business every Tuesday. The first journal for each company is posted in week three of training.
If a journal entry is not posted, it means one of two things, the company is in week one or two of training or the Web master did not receive a submission.
The journals were created to provide family and friends with a peek into the lives of their recruits. The recruit historians try to document the experiences of the company not individual recruits.
We hope you enjoy reading the journals and experiencing Coast Guard Recruit Training through the eyes of our Guardians in the making.
This is an official United States Coast Guard posting for the Public's information.

We are proud of the new recruits that are going to form Delta 181. Our daughter makes us proud that she is serving our country this way. Strive to be the greatest Delta-181.
Well this has been the longest week I have endured. Technology has spoiled us and when we can't talk to a loved one via text, email or cell phone we go through withdrawls. Oh well, journals should be posted soon. Hope to see the first one from Delta this week if there was time to do one in week one.
Once you get your first letter you will feel better about everything
Got the letter with her address on it yesterday. This week maybe a real letter if she had time on Sunday to write one. If not that is ok. The most important thing is for her to work on her knowledge and help the company achieve thier goals. Dad can take 2nd place for this.
that one thing mike you will always be #1 in her heart and I truly know that cuz she told me so
Quinn is doing great but misses you! Letters are on the way to you, and dad and I will try to write often. WE are proud of you and I am sure Delta 181 is forming a unity and trust that will last a lifetime. Can't way to see the daily updates starting in the 3rd week and hopefully there will be a picture or two that we may glimpse a daughter or son.
We all miss you.Can`t wait to hear your voice. Hope you and your team Delta 181 are doing well.When you have the time write me a line or two.Love Mom

I got a call from my son today. It was so great to from him. {He has never been away from home for more than a week before now. He has now been gone 4 weeks.} Yet, he was calling with bad news. He was reverted back one week to Delta 181. Hopefully this will be a good thing. Even though it was bad news, it was wonderful to hear his voice. I look forward to graduation. Lots of luck and love to all of Delta 181.

I am extremely impressed with the way the USCG provides this site for Family members. I wish I had this when I went through. Keep chargeing D181 "stay hard"
I am so Proud of my son "Will Cumbie" and all of the recruits in Delta 181. I know this is going to be one of the toughest things that any of you have ever done, just remember you are a TEAM! Work as one! You cannot do it by yourself, so pull together and "Get er Done"!!!! HOO RAH!
And to all of the parents, with children up there in Cape May, know that my heart is with you all, this is one of the toughest things I have ever endured. My son "Will" is my only child and I miss him deeply. But I know he and his shipmates have a bond that will never be broken! I know...I was a Navy UDT Diver.
I LOVE YOU SON! DO GOOD!
I am so proud of my Son Joseph S and everyone in Delta 181.. I know you will all do great. Joe is my only child and I really miss him, but I am glad he choose the Coast Guard as a career. Can't wait to see you all at graduation.
Delta 181 - Hang tough Lerin! Accept the challenge so that you may feel the exhileration of victory!
<> Jay <>
I didn't realise how hard it was gonna be once your child goes to boot. Now all I can do is wait by the mailbox and hope he had time to write. Can't wait to see all of Delta 181 at Graduation.
Marylee
I am proud to be an American and to watch the forming of a team in Delta 181. Our Daughter Lerin makes us proud that she is serving her country. We look forward to graduation and to see Delta 181 stand proud as the newest members of the U.S. Coast Guard. We love and miss you Lerin. GO DELTA 181
Michael we saw your pictures on the website.
I was happy to hear from you.
Stay strong and focused, you all can do this.
To the parents, friends, and family of Delta 181 who have posted comments, I feel like we are also a family. Together let us pray for the security and accomplishments of these young adults.
Can't wait to meet all of you at the graduation.
Love, Mom Dad and Keriann and Kuddles

Hey Colin - looks like all those knot tying contests in Troop 1 are about to pay off. Hope you have gotten our letters and we hope you and your fellow seamen recruits are staying safe and strong.
Love you,
Mom, Dad & Jake
Hello to Harry, Parent of Will. My son just joined Company Delta 181 this week. We will, also, be flying up from Florida for the graduation. We look forward to meeting you. Hopefully being with someone else from Florida will be a help to my son.
Heyy Soccermom,
We are in Titusville/Mims area and will be flying out of Orlando of course...Yes, having a "Homeboy" in there always helps. I remember in my Navy boot camp and B.U.D.S.Training there were a couple of guys from Florida and we were like Brothers!
So I'm sure Will and your son will be fast friends!
Look for me at the Graduation, I am a big goofy guy, 6'3" Shaved head and I will be with a younger guy that is 6'7" so we wont be hard to spot! Introduce yourself if you see us!
I can't wait!!! i miss him so much!
Thanks for the words!
Harry
I am Charli Folden, and I am actually a wife of a seaman recruit in Delta 181. I guess not many of the other recruits are married but we are and our 10 month old son misses his Daddy very much! I will be coming from Idaho to see Anthony Folden Graduate. Go Delta 181 and congrats on making it as far as you have!
I was really excited to see the posts and pictures, I even saw my son Joe looking very studious along with the other recruits from Delta 181. It is exciting to read what they are doing. I am so proud of my son and all of the recruits. Anyone from Ca. have a son/daughter out there????
We miss You Anthony L but We know your accepting this challenge. Very proud of you and Delta 181. Letter on the way to You. We love You Uncle Dean and Aunt Linda/Florida

I'm sure it makes it a little easier.

PS: Hello parents of Delta 181.
Hello Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Friends (and children) of DELTA 181. We're almost finished with bootcamp. Yes, 'we are'! I've often stated during this time that my son has been away, that we (his parents/family) are also in some form of bootcamp. Having to adjust mentally, spiritually and physically during son/daughter's time away. For many of us, this is the longest our 'baby' has been away from home. Not to return a 'baby' - but hey, they'll always be our 'baby'. Anyway, I look forward to meeting and greeting you all on that glorious graduation date - April 3rd. God bless YOU and our DELTA's 181.
Oh Anita,

And to Hy Davis, You are Right as Rain my Friend, They truly will ALWAYS be our Babies! (Shhhh, dont tell Will that! heh heh)
