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.

Thank you so much for the photos of N-180! We are so proud of all the companies and look forward to graduation on November 21st.
This blog/website, giving us a glimpse of what our sons and daughters are experiencing while they prepare for what will be the most rewarding experience of their lifetime while serving as, and with the best our country has to offer, has been a pleasure for me over the past several weeks. I look forward to all entries and comments of all the companies training at this time, especially November Company of which my son is a member. I am extremely proud of him as I am of all the outstanding young men and women who have decided to dedicate the next four years of their lives in service to our country. I salute you all, wish you the best of luck and pray for your safety while you protect and serve.
I would also like to express my concern with what I feel is a very negative tone expressed by the writer of November Company's weekly journal. I understand the need for incentive training as well as the struggles a recruit deals with as they are molded into members of the United States Coast Guard. I think that we as parents would like to hear more of what recruits are learning, what the accomplishments and successes are as opposed to emphasizing the negatives.
I think the author of N-180 journal may have their head in the "dark place.”
I greatly appreciate the insight and certainly appreciate the time and effort that you all put into this website.
Please keep up the great work. I look forward to the chance to visit the training center, meet with N-180 and their families on Nov 21.
lund113...please take a look at the family forum on uscg.org for some interesting comments on the Nov 180 blog. Some folks are seeing things a little differently.
It might help to see a different perspective.
Great continuing work with this blog. This is, indeed, a best practice.
And, thanks for the pics; there are, however, some things I'd rather not remember. Puda (sic) being one of them. ;-)
@lund113: I read the November 180 posts; I'm going to have to weigh in with @gonov180!. It is what it is, and it is basic military training. No dark place, I think, but rather a desire to be better than they are as a team. Frustration, perhaps. But no dark place, at least from where I sit.
