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.
Our posting does not endorse this site or anything on it, including links to other sites,

Whiskey 182 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)
To our favorite grandson. We love you and miss you. We know you will do great. We are very proud of you. Love Nanu and Fred.
SR Joiner.
Forgot to put your name on our comment. I'm sure you will recognize it though. Not many nanu's around. Take care and give it your all. Fred.

I get up and try to imagine what you are going through. I try to send you strength. I tell myself over and over that everything will be OK. I try to get you to hear me. I know you are not happy with me right know, but you need to know I love you. No matter what happens, you are my son. I am so, so proud of you. I have March 19th circled on the calander. I am praying for you everyday.

Hi Roy & Whiskey 182 families. Our son, Aaron Jenkins, is a member of the unit. He's wanted to do this since middle school, got sidetracked a little bit, but he's right back to the plan. He was a high school football, shotput, discus athlete, an Ohio State Buckeye & USA Jr. Eagle rugby player. He loves life, loves adventure and making new friends. From all I've read this bunch is well loved and have made their families proud. It's great!!

A question for the USCG in CM:
In the information letter on page 2 re: allowances: "most recruits will receive a $500 pay advance prior to graduation to assist with travel arrangements to their leave address and travel to their first duty assignment" Does that mean they have to pay and make arrangements to get to their first assignment?
Hi SR J.E. Waters family! My son is Aaron Jenkins. We are very proud of our kids! We have a Whiskey 182 page on facebook. There are many photos, thoughts and concerns shared there. Please join us! Peggy
Kim, Thank you for writing to Amanda she will love hearing from you. I can't wait to hear from her myself. It has been a whole week today I can't say that it flew by but I made it through and am counting down the days till she calls. I hope to hear from you again soon, and thank you again for supporting our recruits.
Candy

Your inner strength comes from God. Keep Him close in your daily walk. No one can take that away from you. He hears you every time you talk to him.
Love and Prayers,
Grandmother, Juanita
we got a facebook group. it is called whiskey 182. come check it out.
Just a question for everyone. Is the address your child sent home from the company commander the same as the one on the website? If not, which one should we be using?
SR Deborah Roy
I just wanted to share some info about my daughter with everyone since we are a part of W182. Deborah graduated last year from a small town in northern Michigan (so yes she is use to the cold). She is an avid volleyball player and loves to drive me crazy which i am finding I am missing (surprised me too). She is very independant and is looking forward to being part of a team. Miss ya girl. Make us proud. Your brother misses you too.
Romye, The two addresses were pretty much the same. Maybe use the one on this site if you're not sure? Whiskey 182 families are on facebook if you would like to check it out.
SR Shannon Uncapher
Hope your receiving my letters. Miss ya buddy. Continue making us proud! Love you!
Dad
SR SHANNON UNCAPHER

SR Garret Hafer,
It's snowing here! The temps have been pretty mild :)... OK I did not write to talk about the weather LOL.
I was able to go to see your sister this week, I was there for Elias 1 month day! He is doing good and so is everyone else!
After you left I went to AZ. My Uncle Bob is in the hospital, not sure if he will make it. It does not look good but I am glad I was able to go down and see him.
Megan came and ate dinner with dad and me, then we watched a movie and she stayed the night. it is always good to have her around! :) ... I am thinking maybe this week I can get Adam and Caryn (along with Megan) over for dinner... Maybe even have the girls help me cook! Sounds like fun!!!
We are all pretty much doing the same thing, Everyone misses you, even the cats! Since you left they have been sneeking in and sleeping with dad and me., Speaking of the cats, I broke down and bought some wieght control food for Sugar! I hope to get her to a healthy size :)
We are all so proud of you! We have ALWAYS been PROUD of you! I know you will have had some trying moments by the time you get this,,, but I hope you were able to look at all the positive things, to know you are serving a purpose and your country! I can't tell you how much comfort I get knowing that you and MANY others like you are serving. I feel HONORED!!!
Everyone has asked me to send you their love. I will try to get an address to them soon!
I love you very much,,, stand tall and remember to lean on our Lord. He will always be there whether you feel you need him or not. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU!
Love Mom <3
SR Michael Jones,
Well, you have been at it for a couple of weeks now, so I am certain that you have come to the realization that; (1)you really didn't know the proper way to spread up your bunk; (2)you can press a razor sharp crease into your shirts and pants;(3) you eat your meals when you are told and not when you wish; (4)most importantly, how to properly address the Master Chief! Keep plugging away, things only get better in the coming weeks! Nana send her love and respect for what you have decided to become.
SR THATCHER

Hang in there kiddo...Time will pass and you will have learned so much from this experience. Their goal is to make sure they have quality people on their team. You are there for a reason. You are a strong, determined person. I am so very proud of you. Some things will be for you to learn, others will be for you to teach. Right now just focus on the learning side. Absorb as much as you can. When all is said and done you will be standing there as a graduate, proud and accomplished.
Love, Mom
SR Tara Wilson,

Hope your test are going well this week. The weather web site said the Mosquito Index was LOW so glad you don't have to worry about them biting....Looks like the chow is good gained a little weight please tell them I did feed you at home!!!!
Getting the marching down would think that would be a lot of team work there...Just not to hit someone in the head with the rifle or color (flag)..Know Whiskey 182 will be the best...
Love Mom & Dad L&B
SR Williams, B.
Bryant - today is one of those days that is huge for our family :), I would give anything to be there with you and let you know just how special it is. When you get back there will be so much more to celebrate as well.
I hope your day is going well and that you have a chance to see this...
I am so proud of the man you are...
Love, Mom (Dad, Casey & Garrett)

SR Andrew Stokes,
Hang tough my son. I know you are going through tremendous tests of character and strength. If you come across a task that seems impossible to do, remember you have the strength within you to accomplish anything you put your mind to. You may have to dig way down in the depths of your being, but there you will find what you are looking for. Please know that you mom, dad, and brother and sister love you and we are so very proud of you. Go SR Andrew STokes!! Go Whiskey 182!!
SR THANE BEATTIE:
Honey I miss you so much but I am so proud of you! The count down has officially begun until March 19 and though it feels like a lifetime away I know this will go by fast because all I can think about is seeing you and hugging you and never letting you go!
I am so very proud of you and so proud to be marrying you :) I tell everyone that my fiance is in the COast Guard! You are so strong and brave! It amazes me :)
I love you more than words could ever explain and I look forward to getting another letter or call from you!
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
Your girl :)
SR THATCHER

Love you and miss you.
SR Esteban Belvedere: Hey no tuvimos noticias tuyas todavia :( Esperamos que estes bien y te haya ido bien en los tests.. Estamos orando mucho por vos. Bendiciones, llama al telefono de Papi para darnos la noticia.
Te amamos mama y papi
One more day until we read about Whiskey 182 week Hope you all are becoming friends as well as a team. We know you'll do great.. We have snail mail just can't wait to talk to you...Love Mom & Dad
Well, you young men and women have been at this for 4 weeks, so I am certain that you have learned quite a bit about each other. I feel certain that one very important issue you have come to realize is that to succeed, you must rely heavily on the strengths of each other. I would believe that a small few, who do not share this concept of teamwork, have eliminated themselves, although many other of you made vane attempts to bring them back to this reality. The most difficult portion of your basic training, adjustment to military regimentation, is almost behind you, however, due to the nature of the career path you have chosen, your lives will be changed forever. Always remember this-"there is no I in team"! Irregardless of where your future takes you, you will never forget your basic training experiences or those who endured the pain and misery with you! May God bless each and every one of you, and your families, for the sacrifice and committment you have made to yourselves and to Country! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
SR Esteban Belvedere.
A big hug from your Argentinian Family. From the South and from the North, everybody is wishing and praying for your tests and for your present and future.
Very Proud,
Mama Papi and sisters, and your precious dog Kimmy.
God bless you all Whiskey 182, now Seniors at Cape May, Good job and keep it up!
SR Michael Jones,
Just can't wait to see you. Brent and I are very excited about coming to Cape May for the big day. Hang in there Michael! Your Aunt Kathy Loves You, that is all that matters! HA
SR Prescott, C.D. Hello Chris from your Florida family. We are all so proud of you. Sending you positive energy and warmth from Florida. Write when you can. Love you!
SR Garret Hafer

When the phone rang tonight and the 609 area code came up on my phone, I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I have been waiting for that phone call for what seems like a lifetime. It was absolutely wonderful to hear your voice. Even though we only got to talk briefly, it was great. Me and Daddy Love you very much and can't wait to see you in just 20 more days. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself, and we will see you very soon.
Love
Mom,Dad,Justin, and Tyler

Pray for you every night.
Love always,

SR Garret Hafer,
I will get a letter out today! It has been a busy time and we have had a GOOD visit with your sister and Elias! It will be sad for them to return home, but I sit here and feel blessed!
We had our March snowfall, it dropped about 9 inches. It was SOO pretty outside! To bad the temp has to go along with the snow. It is definitly not feeling like Spring!
You only have 9 days till graduation!!!! I am so proud of you for getting through this! I never doubted you and find it hard to imagine how much you could improve! You know I think your AWESOME,I know you will have so much to take from the last 8 weeks! Stand tall and proud, YOU DESERVE IT!
I love you very much Mom
SR Joel Washbond,
I'm Getting so excited for your graduation! Only 5 more days!!!I can't tell you how proud I am of you babe!! I love you Always and Forever!!!
Your Fiance,
Kim
SR Justin E. Waters
Words cannot describe how proud we are of you. Your departure from Cape May is drawing near and You will soon be on to bigger and better adventures. Serving your country is not easy. If it were, everyone would do it. You have joined the fraternity of Waters men who have served their country in every military conflict since the Civil War. You will soon make your mark on this world. It will be far greater than I ever could. It will be a priviledge and an honor to present you with your Graduation Certificate on Friday. We love and miss you very much. Love Dad,Mindy,Tiffany and Lauren
SR SHANNON UNCAPHER
In just one more day your dad, sister, mimi, and I will board a plane and fly to watch, and your shipmates, graduate. I can't express the pride that I feel inside. I am so excited to see you; talk to you face to face; look in your eyes! I know, as I am sure all the other Whiskey 182 parents do as well, that our Country will truly be protected in your capable hands. I know you have suffered, sweated, been tested, and tried, home sick and just plain sick but you and your company have started the beginning of a very challenging and rewarding career. I stand proud to call my son a Guardian. May God continue to keep you strong and safe (mentally, physically, spirtually, emotionally) I will see you in two days, and I will be proud of you FOREVER!
I love you son;
Mom, Dad & Samantha
p.s. whomever is the voice for Whiskey 182 weekly has done a fabulous job in keeping the families very updated with what has happened daily with the company. I applaud him/her and say thank you! Thank you for allowing me to feel just a little bit closer to my son during basics. During the weeks that we felt "muted" there was a voice that gave us a daily idea of life for our loved one. Thank you for such a wonderful job!
SR Garret Hafer,
Hey there, it's Cindy. Michael had surgery on his detached hamstrings (3 of them) today and is home recovering. I don't know if Megan told you he injured them playing hockey. He'll be in recovery and PT for a while. I'm in a hand cast from falling going into the Sitzmark at Alyeska. Tore a ligament in my hand and we look like a Motley crew. Megan is chomping at the bit to get on the plane. We are so proud of you and miss you a bunch. Saw a white ford pickup today and got a little sad. Love you!
Sr Bradley Nicolini
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
We are almost on our way just 1 more day..really enjoyed your journal this week as most, thank the person that has written so we are more in touch with what is going on.. We are so proud of you and your fellow Guardians. Looking forward to seeing you. Miss and Love you Mom & Dad
