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.

DC1 Wingate was instrumental in my son's success in Mike 182.
You are honored to have him as were the recruits of Mike 182.

Thanks for putting out the address for all of us parents and family so that we can follow the Company's progress. I hope Sam and all the recruits are doing well. Boot Camp is tough, but you will all come out with a new found sense of pride in yourself and your country.
Yankee 182, be the best you can be!
Hey Bryan R, I hope you are doing well. This is just to let you know that I'm proud of you. Can't way to see you. You are going to be just fine, stay strong, and think in your graduation. My admiration goes to you and your teammates. Take care yourself.

An earlier post suggested that the kids may get to read these posts during their
7th week of training or whenever they earn their 8 hrs of free time.
I like coming on here and reading all the encouraging comments family and friends are leaving. It helps to know that there are parents out there dealing with the same issues as we are. (not hearing- not knowing) If anything, I think this site offers just as much moral support to family and friends as it does to the recruits!
Go Yankee 182~ we are all rooting for you!
Got home anticipating a letter..none...Has anyone rec'd any mail from their recruit yet?
Is there a specific week in which they are allowed to write,and I just missed out on that info?
Anxious Mom
Go Yankee 182!
Tanya,
Usually you get the "I'm here" postcard. Then a quick, I'm still here letter. About week 3 they actually earn time to write. Usually only on Sunday. I always stalked the Post Office Thursday/Friday, I'm in Florida and that is how long it took to get to me. Keep sending mail to your recruit. It is instrumental in getting them through. My son said mail day was the best. They all share with each other news from all over the US. Good luck to Yankee 182. Mom of Mike182 graduate. Hang in there everyone. It really will start to fly by. After the 1st phone call you'll be at graduation before you know it!
This is wonderful to have communication from TRACEN.
Go Yankee 182!
Got our first postcard today.
Mailed 16 Feb. Short but boy was it good to hear from our son!
Darn proud of them all!!
Hi,
This is great!
I received a postcard last week. Thats probably because I live in NJ, around 1 hour away. It was so good to hear Lex and I look forward to getting a letter.
Go Yankee 182.
We received a postcard too. Our son said he LOVED it there. Said the CCs were awesome. Looking forward to graduation. Sure hope the snow is all melted by then! :)
Did get a postcard last week...was glad to hear that my daughter was doing fine. She said she was sore but otherwise doing good.
Michelle if you can read this in your last week of training, know that we love you and that we are proud of you...love Mom, Dad and Shannon
Katrina the whole family and i Want u to know u are making us proud and i love you so much and cant wait till we both are out
love Nathan i miss u sweetheart
They have to earn privileges and more than likely they won't be on this blog. Writing letters is the best for them to communicate. Phone calls come later & are short.
We recieved a postcard yesterday 2/22 written on their 1st Sunday. It was great to hear that everything is going well! It is exciting to get the mail! Josh we know you are doing great and loving it! We are so anxious for graduation. Proud of you and love you so much. The entire family is proud and always asking about you.
JT's mom and Dad......Did your son fly from Boise also? 3 recruits from Boise had tough weather to make it through and thank god they made it!!!!
Thanks to all the parents and family who are blogging it really is fun to read and know we are all in the same Boat!!!

We miss ya
Love Mom ,Rob. Brian, and Pam
Hey Dustin! We all miss you and can't wait to see you. We got the postcard and your "brief" message. Do your best and stay strong. We already mowed the lawn this weekend because it was 60 and sunny here in Oregon - go figure! Your the best son - we never doubt that. You worked long and hard for this - hang in there and graduation will be before you know it.
We love you - Mom, Dad, Dakota & Tanner
Shaun...two weeks down! This is the hard part ...remember to hang tough and see the end goal! We are rooting for you out here in Cali!
Love you lots!
Korina, Bailey, Garrett, and Gavin
This is such an exciting time for you and your recruits. You may want to start a Facebook page for your Yankee 182 group so that you can share pics and stories about your recruits. It's very helpful. There is also a Parents, Families & Friends facebook page for everyone with a Coastie. Good luck, Yankee 182!
Howdy, Yankee 182 folks! My son is in Uniform 182 and I wanted to second the mom from the last post in encouraging you to start a FB page for your families to bond. It has been an INCREDIBLE experience on the U182 page!
Here is the link for the general "Families" page...Julie Love has done a fabulous job of logging all the new recruit companies...all the current company links are under "links" in the Families group: http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=300455634868#!/group.php?v=wall&gid=300455634868
We welcome you all and look forward to "meeting" you on the Families group page! :)
Just got a letter from my daughter..said its still a lot of snow on the ground and that the food is bad..lol( not mom's cooking)Company comanders are not so bad. She has to iron and shine her shoes (something I never got her to do). She said she gets only about 4 hrs of sleep, because they started doing watches...
Michelle, you and everyone else stray strong...we love you Mom, Dad and Shannon

"Pisser"

Bryant,
It sounds like you've joined a good group of people. I like the way they keep their journals, lot's of daily info for the families. It's nice to see what you've accomplished together as a unit. Let the guy/girl writing know what an awesome job they're doing! Thinking of you all the time. Oh, Archer is in danger of becoming a blanket again. That fat furball misses you and isn't letting me sleep again! :)
Love, Mom (and Dad & C & G)
My Luv Joseph I am so proud of you honey. You're almost done, can't wait to see you graduate. I knew you could do it. Keep your head up and stay strong. Your family loves you very much and supports you til the end. I Miss You & I Love You.

Love you, Chris! Glad to hear that you are doing well!
Hello PJ and the rest of Yankee182

Pat
Well, Ben, only two more weeks to go. From your letters it seems you are in with a very good Company. I am happy for you that you have such a good group of guys and gals as your fellow recruits. I have to tell you, though you were very mature when you left, you have grown up quite a bit since I last saw you. Take care of yourself these last two weeks and we look forward to seeing you at graduation. We love you,
Dad
Congratulations DC1 Wingate and Yankee 182!!!!!
