Good Morning Family and Friends of D184, E184, F184, and G184 -
Your recruits will have the opportunity to participate in a community program, called Operation Fireside, this Thanksgiving.
Operation Fireside began in 1981 and is sponsored by the American Red Cross in Cape May and the training center. This event provides members of the community an opportunity to spend time with our newest Guardians and brings a sense of fellowship and caring to these young men and women, many of whom are away from home for the first time.
We would like to thank our Operation Fireside hosts in advance for opening their homes to our Guardians during the holidays.

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.

Thank you so much Operation Fireside for taking my special recruit and daughter Allyson Feller in. I know she is looking forward to it. She said it makes being away from home so much easier and going with 2 of her newest friends will be like being with her sisters too. :)
I know God will bless you for this special service you are providing these special young men and women. Again, thank you so much!

Thank you so much to the families that are hosting the recruits. My son is in Foxtrot 184, and we miss him so much. Thank you for making their Thanksgiving so much better! I appreciate so much what you are doing for them, and Austin we miss you so much, Thanksgiving will not be the same without you.

My family and I enjoyed participating in this program for many years. It was always such a blessing to have those that were dedicating themselves to our country share a meal and love on a holiday. We have been fortunate enough to stay in touch with a few of the men who passed through our lives, and have become very close with them as a "family". I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless to all, and I hope that every recruit finds a warm home to go to for the day! Relax and Enjoy!
I would like to thank Operation Fireside for taking in my husband on Thanksgiving Day. It is very hard for us to be apart being that we just got married 3 months ago. I know this means the world to him. This is his first Thanksgiving away from home and I know, thanks to Operation Fireside it will be a memorable one. I hope that one day him and I can return the favor to a new recruit near us.
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thank you so very much to all those opening their hearts and homes to all the recruits away from home. It is a blessing to know my son, Jacob Davis is being blest by you. We will (& do) miss him so much, but are comforted by your giving. Happy Thanksgiving to all in G184 and all the other company's!
Debbie (& Jessica, Julia too)
Thank you so much to the host family of Echo-184. We really appreciate you being their for our son when we could not be. Thanks for opening your home and hearts. Julie and Stephen Glenn
Thank you so much for participating in Operation Fireside. Hearing my son's voice and receiving a picture of him in his uniform was the greatest gift I could have ever gotten. I am so thankful. He got to be connected with his family on this special day through the efforts of his adopted family. I will be checking with Fort Benning to see if they need sponsors for any Army recruits.
I would like to say THANKS A LOT to the family who share such a special day like Thanksgiving with my cousin Luis... We are a very close family and it was hard to spend that day without him, but even though he wasn't with us physically he was mentally and spiritually... We can't wait until see you SR LUIS E ROSADO again and enjoy all the adventures that your new life will put in your way... We are very proud of you!!! GO ECHO 184!!! Love you!!! Attn: Your family: Ely, Mom, Dad, Nino & Jay :)
Thank you so much for the family who shared Thanksgiving with my daughter, Shauna Rafferty. Shauna is part of Golf 184. It was such a blessing to be able to talk to her all day long. I am very proud of you Shauna and pray for you daily. You are strong and you can do this. Take care and can't wait to talk again.
Love
Mom
