Hello families and friends of Papa 183! Welcome! My son is a Whiskey 182 graduate and is now preparing to graduate from MLE "A" school. Many familes get through the weeks by a facebook page for their recruits' company. It's a great way to "meet" others with recruits in the same company, ask questions and get answers, share info and thoughts and just survive the 8 weeks. For an idea you can search "USCG Oscar 183" or any previous company on the search line of facebook to see what it's like and then you can start a group page for USCG Papa 183. Joining facebook is easy, too, if you haven't done so yet.
Be sure to check out the parents, families and friends facebook page for the USCG: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=300455634868&ref=ts
Thanks for the suggestion CG Jenkins Mom - I created a Papa 183 facebook group. It should be open to everyone.
Jorgito! estoy loca por saber de ti! Demuestren porque Puerto Rico lo hace mejor!! exitoo!!
Ya hay un grupo en facebook: USCG Papa 183... únanse para darnos support jeje ;)

Keep on keeping on Robbie, a.k.a. Papa Smurf.
You look great in blue.

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative drug on the same night.
2. Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.
3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.
4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.
6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.
8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.
10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
Becca,
We sure are glad to here that you made it to Cape May. Everyone here is extremely proud of you and your goals that you have set for yourself. The only real thing different around here is that the lawn grew an inch and it is hot as you know what around here. Aurora and Joseph miss you and can not wait to be able to call you a "Coastie". Joseph says that he does not have anyone to swim with, but you know JoJo;that is always the case. Your Mom has not hit the ground yet; she is so proud of you. Your courage is admirable.
We all hope that you are in the best of health and that your training is going well.
Hugs and kisses from Mom, Dad, Aurora and Joe.
We Love You and God willing we will see you 07/30/2010 .
Jess,
We are so proud of you and know you are strong enough to meet the challenge. now that you are officially part of PAPA 183 be the best that you can be.
Love,
Mom & Dad
Does anyone know the name of the company and hall that just arrived this past Tuesday? Also, approximately how long is it usually before this information is received? In addition, if I send mail without that information will it still reach my husband?
Tiffany I still haven't heard anything either. If I do I will let you know. I am hoping sometime soon as it has been a few days.
I'm guessing that the company formed on 6/15 will be Quebec 183 (Q 183)
I figured that but did not want to get her in trouble. Would they just hold the mail until the rest comes or should I wait to receive "official" word of the address?.
Good Luck Eda, I know you can make it. When it gets tough, just tough it out. It's all in your mind so if you believe you can make it then you can totally do it!
Ok thanks john! Email me at ladyperris_06@yahoo.com and I will let you know if I hear of anything either!!!
I have been sending mail without the company or hall info just the name address and grad date, do you think this mail will still reach them? And if anyone knows the company and hall formed 6/15/2010 please let me know asap!!!
A letter will come in mail next few days telling you the mailing information.The company name suppose to be in it.
Go Becca !!!!
A friend, driving home from a fishing trip in northern Michigan with his boat in tow, had engine trouble a few miles inland from Lake Huron. He didn't have a CB radio in his car, so he decided to use his marine radio to get help. Climbing into his boat, he broadcast his call letters and asked for assistance.
A Coast Guard officer responded, "Please give your location."
"I'm on Interstate-75, two miles south of Standish."
The officer paused, "Could you repeat that?"
"I-75, two miles south of Standish."
A longer pause. Then an incredulous voice asked, "How fast were you going when you hit shore?"
Robbie I know your doing great and making a great impression. Keep up the hard work it will pay off. I can't wait to see you again. I will right soon.
Your brother,
Alex
Shandeya,
I'm very proud of you! I hope you are doing well, and I look forward to seeing you at the end. Be strong and remember that I am praying for you always.

Robbie,
Stay strong, remember teamwork is the name of the game. You make your dad very proud on this Father's Day.
Sam the cat misses hanging around with you. I wish the best to all the members of Papa 183.
Only 6 weeks to go. Semper Paratus!
Love,
Mom
Pedrito: I love you so much! Happy Father's Day to a special "Dad-to-be"! I wish you were here with me to celebrate this special day for both of us.
Hello Papa 183 families, welcome to the USCG family! My son was in Papa 182 last year and now serves in Hilo, Hawaii. The next few weeks of not communicating with your coastie is the hardest. Use the blogs and facebook page to support each other and you will get through it. You are not alone!
Hi Jantz Hope you are doing ok we love you and miss you a bunch. We are very proud of you. Keep up the good work
Just wanted to let you know we are thinking about you. You make us so proud to be your grandparents. Two weeks of basic training over. Graduation will be here before you know it. Hope it is as sunny over your Atlantic as it is over our Pacific. Love you.
Becca,
Your doing great and we are all so proud of you and the courage that you have displayed. Hip-Hip-Hooray !!!, Hip-Hip-Hooray !!!
Go Papa 183 !
Robbie,
Proud of you and all in Papa 183. Great to see Papa 183 marching at graduation on 6/18. You look good.
We might wear out the video clip.
Stay focused and strong.
Love,
Mom, Dad and the cat(Sam)
HI JANTZ HOPE YOU ARE DOING OK. WE MISS YOU ALOT HERE AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YA. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.........
Families of Papa 183. As of Tuesday June 22, your letters, having been received at TRACEN Cape May, have not been distributed to the recruits per the Company leadership's decision. There may be some logic behind this with-holding of critical family and friend support in the name of some bizarre sense of motivation, but even prisoners of war are entitled to their mail in a timely fashion. This is barbaric and not the same smart, morale focused Coast Guard I served in.
wavepony... this is really upsetting to hear. Can you tell me how you got this news? I know myself and other for PAPA 183 have been chatting a lot about it on FB.
Ryan...
Graduation will be here before you know it (COME ON JULY 30th :) Keep doing a great job and know that I'm always thinking of you. I miss and love you to pieces babe.
love
Tiff
Tiffany
Heard this directly from a Papa 183 member. Slight correction needed for absolute accuracy. The letters have been distributed to the company recruits -- they are not allowed to open them.
I am not on FB and so cannot join in your chat, but my report is accurate as of yesterday evening. I have two recruits from my family at Cape May right now.
No doubt there is some kind of military-minded discipline logic behind it, but it is misguided and it leaves recruits who may be struggling without a crucial support system that could be the difference in their success.
Wavepony,
Thanks for the clarification. At least they know we are sending letters.
Recruits have been receiving mail and sending mail. Parents posting on Facebook are all reporting have received mail.
Luis A.E
Sigue adelante se que tu puedes, te extranamos mucho y estamos orgullozo de ti. we love you so much. GOD BLESS YOU!!! see you soon. Mami y papi
JANTZ IM NOT SURE WHY YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED MAIL BUT I KNOW WE ARE ALL WRITING TO YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SON, WE LOVE YOU
Hey everyone - I hope you can meet us on the Facebook page USCG Papa 183. It is much easier to converse back and forth and you can also see all of the pictures and videos that are posted.
As for the mail - in the first few weeks the recruits are extremely busy and exhausted. Many times the CC's will not let them open their mail until Sundays during divine hours. The recruits have very little free time, espcially in the beginning. The CC's are really good people. They don't do anything without a purpose. When the recruits are exhausted at night, the CC's don't want them spending time reading letters and then being upset because they are so homesick. But they DO want the recruits to know you are writing. So they let them have the mail and tell them they can read them on Sunday's during divine hours. The recruits don't understand a lot in the beginning and typically feel frustrated and homesick and often wonder if they really wanted to sign up for this. But it does get better!
Our Coast Guard is an amazing service to join. I am sorry someone hear is telling you discouraging things. Please trust that the CC's know what they are doing.
You can write to your recruits anytime and don't have to have the hall's name. There is only one Papa 183 and only one Quebec 183, etc.
Keep writing and keep encourating. They will be fine and by week 4 they will sound much happier and excited! No worries!
Robbie, I am so so proud of you!! I know you are becoming such an amazing man and I am lucky to be your sister! Keep strong and know we are all thinking of you!! You look so handsome and grown, it's crazy! I love you and am so proud!!
Megan!!
I want you to know that we are all thinking (and talking) about you everyday. We miss you so much! Keep working hard...I know you can do anything you put your mind to. I can't wait to see you back in the Lou! (Oh yeah, Jada misses you too...she's hungry)
I Love You!

I used to eat a lot of natural foods,
until I learned
that most
people die of natural causes.
The easiest way to find
something lost around the house is to buy
a replacement.
**
Health nuts are
going to feel stupid someday,
lying in
hospitals dying of nothing.
**
Have you noticed since
everyone has
a camcorder
these days no one
talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?
**
Whenever I
feel blue, I start breathing again.
**
All of us could
take a lesson from the weather.
It pays no attention
to criticism.
**
In the 60's,
people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the
world is weird and
people take Prozac to make it
normal.
**
How is it one
careless match can start a forest fire,
but it takes a
whole box to start a campfire?
**
Who was the first person
to look at a cow
and say,
"I think I'll squeeze these dangly thingies here,
and drink whatever comes out?:
Who was the first person
to say,
"See that chicken over there?
I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta
its butt.
If Jimmy cracks corn
and no one cares,
why is there a song about him?
**
Why do people point
to their wrist
when asking for the time,
but
don't point to their crotch
when they ask where the
bathroom is?
**
If quizzes are quizzical,
what are tests?
**
If electricity comes
from electrons,
does morality come
from morons?
**
Do illiterate people get
the full effect
of Alphabet Soup?
**
Did you ever notice
that when you blow in a dog's face,
he gets mad
at you,
but when you take him on a car ride,
he sticks his head
out the
window?
**
Why doesn't glue
stick to
the inside of the bottle?
Jorgito, baby we know you are doing great! I can't wait to see you! Miss you so much! ♥besos mi amor♥

Only this, to act justly,

Keep going...I a praying for you....for all of YOU!
Hey Jantz, hope you are still doing ok. We love you and miss you here in LA.........

Megan, I speak about you every day to anyone who will stop and listen. I am so excited reading all the information. I hope you are getting enough mail. I can't wait to hear my phone ring and the ID is yours. More than half over by the time you will see this. Hang in there. Love Mom
Megan, Dr. Fern wanted you to know he is excited for you. Because he owns a boat and is always out in the water, he did not want to get stopped and detained for 2 hours to have his boat inspected. So he called the Coast Guard himself and did a volunteer inspection. He now has the sticker for 2010. He is excited. He says hang in there, 8 weeks go very fast.
Mom says today is 3 weeks, on Tuesday and Friday will be the end of 4 weeks. Almost time to talk.
Hang in there!
LOVE MOM
