Wow Whiskey 181! Many great accomplishments in week 04. Way to go! Lots of support from WA State!

The G's said...

Whiskey 181 - I'm speechless! You are really moving in the right direction! Keep at it, you're more than half-way done! Looking forward to seeing all of you graduate in three 1/2 weeks! Stay Strong!!!

MomDecolores said...

Whiskey 181 - Way to go! You are on the down hill run but keep on your toes! SR DeColores we are thinking of driving out with M.O. You have hometown friends in NYC too (C.R. and A.H.) that want you to visit. Maybe we can all stay there until you ship out? Consider that when you make travel plans - but we will go with whatever direction you need and want. Keep focused and disciplined!
Your home team is cheering you on!
Oh, and hey Whiskey - where's the photos?

CAL's Mom said...

With each passsing week, you continue to accomplish more and more. We are so proud of every member of Whiskey 181. Keep up the good work. You're past the half way mark and there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Don't lose sight of that final goal. Continue to give it your all.

Peacemaker said...

W-181 - Sure feels good when your company really begins to function as a team. There is much work ahead recruits. The time has come to really demonstrate your best. The sprint to victory is upon you. You have all made us very proud and earned our respect with your sweat and hard work. Now finish these final weeks as only the U. S. Coast Guard's finest can. Peacemaker's son: I can't put into words my feelings for you and your accomplishments. Semper Paratus

SR Martinez - I've been checking up on you via texts and calls with your Family. I am very proud of you. Constantly remind yourself and your TEAM mates that "We Survive on Adversity and Perish in Ease and Comfort". You are all being tested to prove yourself worthy of acceptance into the World's Premier Maritime Service. On graduation day you will join the "Long Blue Line" of those like myself who have gone before you. You will be guided by Honor, Respect, and Devotion to duty. Most importantly you will be prepared to serve our great nation with honor and distinction. So finish strong W-181 because this is just the beginning of your storied Coast Guard careers.
Will Callihan LCDR, USCG (Ret.)

MerrellMom said...

Whiskey-181

Sounds as though many exciting things have been happening there! Stay strong and focused, as that is what makes your job so important to our country...losing sight of your purpose will only hinder your progress! It is hard to believe that in a few short weeks we will all get to bask in the pride we will feel as we watch you graduate: the end result of weeks of dedication, devotion, and I'm sure some sweat and tears as well. Hang in there, enjoy your rise to the top, and don't forget-you've all got what it takes to make this the best thing you've ever done!

AVM- I am truly proud of you!

mikegum said...

Whiskey 181 - Read your blog. Wow! What an improvement from last weeks blog. You are amazing. Everything sounded so exciting except for the part where you had to get your small pox shots (OUCH) But y'all are tough. Be the outstanding example for Alpha 182 to follow.

SR GILL - I am so excited for you. I miss you and I love ya.
Aunt Cindy

Peacemaker said...

W181 - You are finally getting a sense of purpose about all that you have been learning in these past weeks. You now have your orders and your directions are set. Demonstrate to A182 what teamwork has done to make W181 a senior company to be proud of. You all part of this Country's finest. We are in debt to your service. You received your confirmation of this from the cheering citizens during your off base run. Finish strong, finish proud, finish with the honor you have earned. Peacemakers son: Your flag proudly flies in front of your home. Semper Paratus
