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.

X-ray 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)
SR Angela Petralia,
Remember your goals. When its tough remember its for a reason. You wont understand the lessons learned until you first unit but a that point it will click. All of the constant attention to detail is for a reason. See the big picture, take it 1 day at a time, but at the same time think about graduation day and the feeling of confidence and accomplishment you will have is like no other feeling. Many things boot camp will teach you will use for the rest of your life. Be confident, learn as much as you can and, you will succeed. I love you , your brother.
BM3 Petralia
Sean Hill...

SR Brian Botelho...We are happy to hear that you arrived safely at Cape May. We are so proud of your decision to join the Coast Guard. It suits you well. You have the talents. strength, and determination to accomplish anything you set your mind to. We look forward to the day that you graduate. Keep focused on your goal and you will succeed. Press on when times get tough and it will pay off in the end. We love you, Mom,Dad and Brett.
Good luck to all in X-Ray 182 from a Whiskey 182 mom.
Jonathan-We are so proud of you! We love you so very much! Always remember "The task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you." "Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10" Good luck to everyone in X-Ray 182. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Can't wait to see you on graduation day! We Love you, Momma, daddy, Josh, Sarah, Beth, Chad & Ben.
Congratulations X-Ray 182!!! Be strong and never give up. Remember "What Does Not Kill Us Makes Us Stronger". Eric, your family is so proud of your decision to become a Guardian for your Country.

I read this quote and thought of you; you have always strived to be your best no matter what it is your doing. You always remain focused, and direct all your efforts to whatever it is your involved in. You have always pushed yourself to be better.I am so proud of you and hope you keep up the great work! I really liked this quote by Kelly Slater:
“Well I'm always working on constantly everything. I never take the approach that I'm doing as well as I possibly can... I always think there's more and I think if you don't have that, you are not driven to be better.”
Kelly Slater
love you!

Eric Pedroso, We had all the family over last night for dinner and Andrea joined us as well. We all read company X-Ray 182's first journal posting. I have a feeling "Sniper Position Take" is not a phrase of endearment. You guys keep pushing, be strong, have faith as all your families have faith in each and everyone of you. Eric I love you with all my heart and miss you terribly. Can't wait to see you at graduation. Love Mom, Tom, Junior and Jenny.
SR Angela Petralia, Dad and I read the response "Sniper Position Take" Remember the saying" survival of the fittest". I can't imagine how tough it is for you and your company X-ray 182. I pray every night that you will be strong and work together as a team. My angel keeps me strong and my trips to Burger King for the coke and fries.Two weeks down and six to go! Tony came by today and asked me if we got a letter yet, I now know why,it sounds like they are pushing you to become a team. We love you very much and miss you. Can't wait to hear from you. Stay strong. Love Mom and Dad
SR Robert Gilmore its been two (2) weeks now and I miss you a ton. I think of you every day and wonder how difficult things are in the CG. I know great things are worth working for and that is exactly what you and XRAY-182 are doing. By now I hope you all realize it's about the group as a team. I pray for you to stay strong, stay the course an be our Guardian.
Love Dad, Kay, the Goose and the Queen
Matt Salisbury,

We are looking forward to seeing you at graduation at the end of March. I just spoke to Jennifer and she sounds fine - she was on her way to get your car washed - it's a beautiful sunny day for a change. I wanted to let her know how lovely the shawl she made went with my Colonial costume which I wore for our Fat Tuesday Colonial Follies. We love you. Mom

I'm proud of the way you are sticking to your commitments, trying your best. We knew this would be difficult at times, but you're rising to the challenge and proving what I have known all along...You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Keep with it, try your best at all times. We love you and miss you.

Bryant Williams,
3 weeks to go!! We are missing you so much and cannot wait for the end of March! I'm really curious to see where your first destination will be.
A quick question...On the company log it mentions Captain Crunch. Is it the cereal or a term for something else? Why would they ban cereal?
We love you sooo much! Keep up the good work! Stay strong!!

AWESOME...."Oo-Rah" X-Ray 182! Great Journal Posting today. I am so very proud of all of X-Ray 182 and only 15 days till graduation. To my son Eric Pedroso, it was wonderful hearing from you on Sunday night, and to all the other moms, he did sound different, Mom has now changed to Mam, this is going to take some getting used to. But all kidding aside, I am so very proud of you Eric as is the rest of the family and we can't wait to see you at graduation!!!! Keep it going strong X-Ray 182.
Love, Mom
What a fantastic journal this week! Most of us reading it were in tears just imagining what it was all like. We are all so very, very proud of X-ray 182 and the way you have come together - encouraging and supporting each other's efforts. We all wish we could have been on the sidewalks of Cape May to see you running proud and strong with newly awarded colors flying. Congratulations! Love to all of you.
Great to speak to you Sr Gonzalez..count down to graduation. Can't wait. God bless you & all members of X-ray 182. You guys ROCK! We, all miss you, all send their love, Mima, Chicho, Denise, Carlos, "All" your friends, Gil & Proud MOM! PS. Really happy with your assignment!
I am so proud of all the young men and women of X-Ray 182. Keep up the great work! Only 15 more days to go....you can do it! Can't wait to see you all (especially SR Shores) at Graduation.

Way to Go X-RAY 182. Down to 13 more days before graduation! Sounds like you all are putting everything you have into this new adventure of becoming a Maritime Guardian. Real happy to hear about your new assignments. When we see you next I'm sure we will see changed people, holding your head high. SR Rob Wagner, your family is SUPER PROUD of you!! Thanks for serving our Country!! "Go get um" X-ray 182!
SR Robert Gilmore can it be that you are only 10 days away from finishing boot camp. It's hard to believe you have been there nearly 7 weeks. We all miss you very much and looking forward to your graduation. We will all be there and we will all be sooo proud of you as we are now. Keep up the good work and you and X-182 stay strong. More letters on the way to make sure you know you are in our thoughts every day.
- Dad -
May God grant always a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you. Happy St. Patrick's Day to our X-ray 182 recruits.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY X-Ray 182! So proud to hear you all passed your Manuel of Arms Test, we all knew you would. It must of been great to have some R&R, I cant' imagine the sugar high you guys must of had from all those snickers and gummy bears!!! Eric, bet you had at least 2 snickers! To my son Eric Pedroso, I am so very proud of you, although your assignment is a difficult one I know with all my heart you will persevere and grow character from your experiences. I love you with all my heart and can't wait to see you at graduation!!!! 10 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!!!! Oo Rah X-ray 182!!!!
