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.

Uniform 182, have someone in your group start your Facebook page. It will be a great way for you to communicate with each other. Follow the format from one of the other groups. See Tango 182, Sierra 182, Romeo 182. We are all on there. Good Luck to all. A tango 182 mom!

SR LEVY,
We got your voicemail that you arrived safely. Every day we cover you with prayer and know without a doubt that God is giving you the strength to endure and persevere through all of this. This is your dream son. Stay focused, trust your abilities and trust your commanding officers. They have your best interest at hand. You will do well in the Coast Guard. We are so very proud of you. We got the info on where to write to you on Tuesday. Everybody will be writing to you. Dad's letter is already on it's way to you. We love you. Stay strong.
Love You Son,
Mom
I have decided that I will start the Facebook page, under: USCG Uniform 182, I would really like to get to know the families of all the men and women that are in the company together with my son. Keep the faith and stay strong.
Love Always.....
SR Craven,
Hello Ronnie! I know you are doing a great job and we think about you every day. I call mom to check on her alot and she misses you too. Dad goes and takes care of the dogs as usual. I am so proud of you! I really miss the navy since Kevin retired almost three years ago and can't wait to see you when you finish at the top of your class! You Rock!
Love you,
Sally
Hey Bub.....Just wanted to send you a big HUG from your sister. Thinking of you daily! Stay Strong! Love you always, Beth. P.S. Faith, JR and Tim are sending happy thoughts your way!
Just checked the 10-day forecast for Cape May...Brrrr! I wonder if you are outside at "o-dark-thirty" for PT? If you are I bet you can't get the shower hot enough afterward. I see some of your shipmates are from CA as well. I trust you are getting along well with your training and hope you have at least a little chance for some fun along the way. I'll send you a letter with some stamps, that will make it a little easier to write some letters. Inquiring minds are interested. Laura misses you and wants to write, so now that we have your address I'll help her to get a letter off to you. "Baravo Zulu" on your hard work so far and take care. Love Dad.
SR Irish,
It was great to receive your contact info, several letters are already on their way. We can't wait to read the company journals and receive a letter to know how you are doing. We are all so proud and excited for you. Stay strong and focused.
We love you,
Dad and Deb
SR Austin Echols,
I just realized today that we can post a note. A letter is on its way. I'm sure you are working hard and getting it your best. Keep it up. Everyong says "hi." We are very proud of you. You're missing a fishing trip to grandpa's today, so I'll tell dad to catch a few fish for you.
Love mom.

SR Levy,
Here's a weather report from Hawaii. It's Sunday, 8:43am and the vog is thick. It's been that way for three days now. Having no tradewinds blowing doesn't help. We're not used to seeing all this gray skies. Normally it's sunny, blue skies with tradewinds blowing. It's not even a good day to go to the beach(catching the waves and all) which you would normally be doing at this time. Still, it sure beats the weather you're in RIGHT! Was it a cultural shock for you? (Seeing snow and all for the first time)Grams and Dad sent you a letter; Seth will be blogging you soon. All the family and friends have your address and should be writing/blogging you soon. You're in our prayers every day. Stay focused son. We're so proud of you. Love you, Mom.
SR CRAVEN,
Hello again Ronnie,
I have been thinking about you alot. In church today I prayed that God be with you and the entire U182 class...that you continue to do well and thrive. I know He is there with you and your new coast guard "family".
I'll bet you already have a ton of stories to tell! Can't wait to hear from you.
Love you,
Sis

Coastie Mom~
Thank you for watching out for the new company U182 and encouraging us to get a FB page up. Best Wishes to you and your Coastie as Tango182 Graduates Friday! Semper Paratus!
Hey Tyler! Colleen and I hope you are doing well and learning a lot.
It is so different without you at home...I like that the house stays cleaner, but I miss you a ton.
Colleen and I both sent you letters. Hope you received them and they brought a smile to your face. Take care! We love you sooo much!
Dad and Colleen
SR Neifert
Glad to "hear" from you - at least your writing on the envelope - LOL. Been checking in on this website waiting for your company to pop up. Watching your weather there too and, believe it or not, you're warmer there than we are. You're missing some rotten weather. However, we will get our revenge over the next few days as our temps rise and yours goes down ;-) Surf is huge, but the weather was too bad to call Mavericks. Critters are fine and enjoying your bed while you're gone. Miss you and looking forward to getting an envelope with your writing on the outside AND a letter from you on the inside....Sending big HUGS(and slurpy kisses from the dogs - they really miss you too)
Does Uniform 182 have a facebook page?
SR Daniel,
Just wanted to let you know that we miss you very much! You've had a teary-eyed daughter (and wife) a few days, but we are so PROUD of you! We love you so much and are praying that all of your training goes well! All of the family sends their love and support! We look forward to reading the blog next week! Hope that U182 is a strong and determined group!
We love you,
Stacy and Claire
SR Wolfen,
We are extremely proud of you. Keep up the great work, never give up and take one day at a time. I know you will do great and look forward to hearing from you. We have sent you many letters and cant wait to recieve one from you.
Love Mom,Dad, and Pepper
SR Flint (Kass),
I hope you got my first letter by now (it's Tues). Nobody is sure if the recruits can read these, but just in case.
I think everybody has your address now so you should be getting more letters soon. Hang in there, we've all passed basic in some branch of service. You'll be fine...
Thank you for your service to our nation, we all love you back at home.
Rob and Erin.
Sr Russell,
I am so very happy to have been able to start a group on facebook. I have met so many families, I posted the video of you being sworn in and a mom was very happy to see that because her son lived in New York and she did not get to experience any of that. Well, its the Colts and Saints in Superbowl. I would really like to see Drew Brees get a ring. Love you babe, there is not one day that I don't think of you. Hard to believe its already the beginning of week 3. Everyone is always asking how you are doing and I tell them "I don't know" but I can feel it in my heart that you are doing great! I hope you do get to read these blogs because I can not write yet.
Love you son, stay strong....
HURLEYGERL01
yes there is a facebook site, search for: USCG Uniform 182, join us, we would like to know you.
SR Williams, B.
It has been two weeks and you're a quarter of the way done! We're counting down on the calendar daily. I knew this would be hard on the recruits, but I never guessed how hard it would be on the families. The gaps between info is almost torture for us. But we know you are the one doing the hardest work. We are so very proud of you. I can't wait to see you in six weeks! Stay strong, be supportive for each other in there. You will be a part of an awesome team when this is done. (Calif. has had lot's of rain since you left - I'd say you took the sunshine with you except that I know how much colder it is out there!) I look forward to your letters and sent you one today too.
Love, Mom & Dad
Bruss:
For some reason I can't find the FB page ... could you send me an invite to hurleygerl01@yahoo.com. Thanks so much.
SR Lacy
We all want you to know that we are thinking of you and praying for you. We hope all is going well. We hope to hear from you soon.
Love Grammy, Poppop, Uncle Andy Aunt Stacy and Matthew
SR Wolfen,
I'm so glad to know that you've gotten through your first two weeks of training! I know you are doing an amazing job and hopefully all is going well. I hope you get my letters soon if you haven't already. I'm still waiting to get one from you. I miss you so much and I love you. I can't wait to see you in March! :)
-Jules
SR Cartey
Two weeks and counting! Trust you and all your Shipmates are pulling together to meet every opportunity to succede. You are the topic with the whole family - everyone is very proud of you and happy for you. Keep your head above water, support your fellow Coasties and be confident in their support for you. We are still looking for the first letter - Mom has worn out a pair of shoes going to the mail box - Major can make the trip with his eyes closed.
Love and Respect Always,
LT & Mom
Major, Jasper, Razz, Opal & Bella

SR Hand,
Lacy told me about this blog site today.Fortunately, Aunt TC bought Chris a computer so he doesn't have to travel to access the internet. Now Dad and I can keep up with your unit. I'm going to find the Facebook page that is being set up for U182 so I can meet other families in your unit. Your address has been put in the church newsletter and prayers are being lifted for you daily.I know the weather is a harsh change from Tx but you are strong and trust you are adjusting. Words can not express how proud we are of your decision to be the 2nd Coastie in our family. Get out of your shyness, get LOUD, work HARD and stay POSITIVE. You are going to be an outstanding Coastie and can't wait to see you in March. Looking forward to letters from you. I included stamps in my last one to you. We love you immensely and miss you terribly.
Love, Mom Dad and Chris
U182 families:
Welcome aboard! I am the Mom of a Mike182 graduate. (Nov 26-seems like yesterday) The recruits don;t get to see these comments until about week 6 or 7, and only if they take the initiative to look for it online when they get computer privileges. WRITE TO THEM EVERYDAY! My son said "mail" was the highlight of their days/nights/weeks. They all get very close and share news/stories with the entire company. Stay strong, be proud. Any questions, feel free to email me. coastiemombarker@comcast.net
(8 weeks really does fly by after about week 3)
SR Jones
We miss you like crazy, but are very proud of you. The whole family wishes you well and are keeping you in their prayers. We know your going to do great and come out a very strong young man. We cant wait to see you, Love Mom and Dad

Love, Mom
SR Wolfen,
We are all so proud of you here. We know you are doing the best you can and we can't wait to see you! Stay strong and keep the faith. God is right beside you. We love you!
Love, Aunt Ann & Uncle Jack
SR RUSSELL,
It was great to get your letters today, Bella and I were both at the mailbox waiting and there they were!!! It was almost as though you were standing before us. We lol(as you would text),cried and then got on the phone with everyone and told them that they need to write everyday. It's hard to believe but you are at the end of wk 3 and I was at ease to know that you and your company is doing fine. Keep being strong like the Nico you are, we will be there soon...
LOVE ALWAYS,
MOM
SR CRAVEN
Hey Ronnie!

SR Page,
I miss you more than words can say. I am so proud of everything you have accomplished so far.I can't wait to see you on graduation day. Stay strong and keep working hard.
Love always,
Kristen
Hi Sr Attzs,
I received the form letter they sent in the mail. I am glad that you arrived safely. We miss you terribly. Samantha sends her love and she had complained several times that she misses you. Stay strong and stay focussed. Know that we are thinking of you. Don't be discouraged if you have not received letters yet as I got back the first one I sent to you as it could not be delivered. The address on the form letter differs somewhat from that posted on this site. So I will resend the letter with the address from this site and I will do the same with the other four that will probably also come back. We love you and hope to hear from you soon.
Mom
SR CRAVEN
Hey Craven, Ronnie, Ron, bub! Just want you to know that I am thinking of you often. Praying that you are finding your nitch in the CG and finding some enjoyment in the neat things you are getting to do (like march in snow!).

Love you!

SR RUSSELL,
I was very happy to see your recruit journal today, it was very short and specific. I know I speak for all the families when I say that we want to hear more but I know that due to time it has to be that way. Everyone here misses you so much,Jeremy and Stephen call and/or stop by to check on us and to hear about you. I hope that you are getting all the letters that everyone is sending you and most importantly, that you get to read them. I love you son and I am the proudest mother in Oceanside, always have been, always will be!!!!!!!!

Hey Bub! We are so excited that mom, beth and me have all gotten letters from you. It sure does help when we get a little news from you and can almost hear your voice through your letters. I know you don't get lot's of time to write so we cherish what letters we do get. We all love and miss you. I know it has been a challenging journey but by the time you read this (if ever!) you will be on the down side! Hold your head high....you are serving your country and we are proud of you!

SR Brett Hughes,
What a thrill to talk with you!!!
Even though, you sounded terrible. We are so proud of you! You're a tough old bird! HA! HA! Your Dad and I knew you would do fine because you have the determination. You have always accomplished what you have set out to do and we were sure this wouldn't be any different. That is one of your great qualities! We miss you and can't wait to you our son as a graduated SR. Hope everyone in your company is feeling better. Our prayers are continuing that all will soon recover from all their illnesses, but especially our son!!! Only a week before we fly out to see Joanna and be with you!! We can't wait!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
Then, besides getting your call--we were surprised with a note from you. I have shared it with Lori and Joanna. Stay strong and please start feeling better.
LOVE and PRAYERS,
Mom and Dad

Oh, so very happy to hear your voice and your sisters were very excited to be here when you called. I know this journey has been long and trying but you did all this to save lives, and all this is just the beginning of a great career for you, you all all of U182 are our true "Guardians" You have made us all so very proud. You have become the men and women, that we always knew you could and will become. Nine more days and it will be the beginning of your whole life.
Love always,
Mom Russell

To all Uniform 182 GRADUATES...Congratulations!!What a celebration it will be!
I know this is probably a little past due, but I saw the receiving of colors video on this site...I don't know if you were aware that there was a longer version of this video where you can actually see the recruits faces on you tube. Try "U-tube_U182_short-QT-Master.mov"
My son was originally in U182, but after starting boot camp w/surgery, etc,he is now in X182 with 3 weeks left! Ouch! I know he's thinking of you on your graduation today. If you were lucky enough to get through without a reversion or medic., give yourself a pat on the back! Your hard work and dedication helped you to earn this.
A proud Coastie Mom!
