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.

We are so glad to see that we are able to follow the progress of these fine recruits. We are very proud that are son has chosen to defend this great country. We look forward to seeing all the recruits become confident young Men and Women. Good luck and become the best TEAM you can.
To be able to see the progress of our son is a great gift. There isn't a day that goes by that many prayers are lifted up for him and the people he is serving with. Now it will be a pleasure to put faces to those prayers.
We are so very proud that our son has chosen to serve and protect our homeland.
Okay, Zulu 180, be the best recruits that Cape May has ever seen! Know that there are many thinking of you and praying for your every day! Make each day a step forward into your new adventure in the Coast Guard. We are so proud of you ALL!
We are so proud of our son for joining the Coast Guard.
Good luck to all recruits, see you all at Graduation
This is a great way for families to feel connected with the recruites and be able to witness each step of their success. We are so proud of our son and everyone in his company. we pray for them daily. Thank you for this site.
I'm curious to find out how many 'empty nesters' there are now since Zulu 180 formed.
My husband and I now join that club. We have 4 children with our youngest now a Coastie.
It has been hard to have him gone, but we know he is doing the right thing.
Anyone received letters yet?
Blessing on our Coasties and all of their families!
I agree with everyone here. It is great to have this website to track their progress. I check it everyday. We can't wait to see pictures of ZULU 180. We received mail today,we were so glad to hear from our son. We are very proud of him in his decision to join the USCG. Looking forward to reading other comments.
Received a letter on Saturday! Hurray!
He sounds great!
I'm looking forward to seeing Zulu 180 journals!
God bless our gals & guys & their families!
Cannot wait to read the Journals tomorrow, graduation gets closer every day, our thoughts are with you all.
Was hoping the journals would be up by now, cannot wait to read them
We are anxious to read the journal as well! We are so glad to be able to follow the progress of the recruits and looking forward to the post. We are praying daily for our son and all of ZULU 180! We received a letter on Saturday, too. His letter was upbeat and things seem to be going well. So great to hear from him. Looking forward to graduation day!
Great to read the Journal, we are so proud of all of the young men and women in Zulu 180.
So great to see pictures of ZULU 180! Work hard as a team and keep up the good work. We are so proud of you all!
Nearly another week over, hang in there. Letters have been very positive, thinking of and praying for all the recruits.
We can't wait 'til Bravo 181 has some posts & pics...we fully support all of the wonderful cadets and their CO's for all their hard work!!!
I see that it has been a bit tough. Anything that you work hard at and earn is going to be tough.It also becomes that much more rewarding. Hold your heads up and encourage each other and you will be able to find yourselves becoming a great team. To phrase the late Jimmy V; Don't give up, Don't ever give up. GO ZULU 180!
HEY ZULU 180 WERE SO PROUD OF YOU. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK. YOUR MORE THAN HALFWAY THERE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE JOURNALS AND THE PICTURES.KEEP YOUR SPIRITS HIGH! OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL EVERYDAY!!!
anyone know when they find out where they are posted and when they can make a call home...
Our thoughts and prayers are with our son and all the recruits in Zulu 180. We are grateful that you have this opportunity to grow and to learn and to be proud of who you are and to serve your country wherever you wind up. We are proud of your efforts to be the best. Hang tough. Take it one day at a time and look to your future. Graduation day will be the best day of your lives so far.
I have been reading the BLOGS from other companies and if i am not mistaken i believe we should be getting calls starting next Friday.What a great Valentine's Day it would be if we could hear our sons voice. We booked our flight today. Does anyone know of Hotels to stay at in Cape May?
ZULU 180-just 3 more weeks!!
End of another week, I hope they are hanging tough.
We have been following Yankee 180's posts and they started getting phone calls this past Saturday. Some are still waiting for their phone call. Others got calls today. So...we're thinking we may start hearing from ZULU 180 on Valentine's Day or at least on that weekend!! We are so excited to find out where our son is going to be stationed. We got another letter yesterday and he was very upbeat about everything. He said they are coming together as a unit. Roll Tide Family...we are staying at the Congress Hall Hotel. We got a good deal there.
HI THERE TO ALL THE COASTIES. YOU ARE ALL IN OUR PRAYERS. WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK. WE MISS YOU SO MUCH CUZ AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU SOON! YOU ARE A STRONG PERSON AND WILL DO GREAT! OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR TEAM. LOTS OF LOVE...:)
Sounds like its rough for them at the moment,hopefully they will come together
has anyone made flight plans yet?
ZULU 180, we are so proud of all of you and all you have accomplished so far. Stay focused and realize you have come a long way! Graduation is only 24 days away! You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers daily.
We made our flight plans Sunday. Now we need a hotel and rental car.I believe ZULU 180 will get it together this week. They need to stay strong and support each other.SEMPER PARATUS!!!!
If a recruit was not graduating on time would you be informed?
Proud Mom...we made our flight arrangements and sent the info to our son a week or more ago. I think i read you would get a call if they were reverted. We're wondering if our son had to get his wisdom teeth out!! Can't wait for the weekend to find out where he is stationed!
No...we haven't heard from our son, yet! Hoping to hear soon! : D
Got the phone call today, he sounded great, brief call but great to hear his voice
Oh.... Good for you!! How exciting!!! I'm jealous!! Haha. Maybe we'll get a call today, too. Where did yours get stationed?
He is going to be stationed in Galveston, TX,
We got our phone call!! Our son will be stationed in Kenosha, Wisconsin!
SO GLAD TO HEAR WE'RE GETTING PHONE CALLS . CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR FROM OUR SON. ARE THEY HAPPY WITH THEIR STATIONS?
Our son seemed content with his station. He said it was the last one listed on his dream sheet. Hope you hear soon from your son! Let us know where he got stationed!
Anybody else out there??? Love to hear from more of you!
My sons station was his fourth choice also,he was excited, cannot wait for Graduation

HES GOING TO SAN PADRO CALIFORNIA AND SEEMS VERY HAPPY WITH THAT, ALTHOUGH ITS FAR FROM HOME (FLORIDA)HOPE YOU ALL GET THE CALLS TODAY ITS GREAT TO HEAR THEIR VOICE.
We received our call today.He sounded really good. He will be stationed in Portsmouth, Va. On the 270' Cutter "Forward". We live in Mobile and he was hoping to get stationed along the Gulf Coast. He is excited now, he found out it goes to the Carribean. I hope everyone else receives their call today. "Keep In Touch"
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!
Our son had to get 2 of his widom teeth out this week. Does anyone else know if their son/daughter had to get theirs out? He also said he has been sick with sinus trouble since he has been there.
He received our flight information and is meeting with the SATO next week about flying back with us. We are so excited and can't wait for graduation.
GO ZULU 180!!!!!
Does anyone know if each graduate is limited to the number of people that may attend his/her graduation ceremony at Cape May?
So happy to hear you got your call about your son's station in California! I asked my son if he had gotten his wisdom teeth out and he said he had not yet but maybe in the next few days. He also mentioned in his letter that he was sick but thought he might be getting better. I read there was no limit to the number of people that you bring. It is open to the public as well. We are really looking forward to graduation!!! Go Zulu 180!!!!
Ooops... Roll tide family, I meant to say I was happy to hear of your son getting stationed in VA, not Califonia! : ). Was that on his dream sheet?
Way to go ZULU 180 for coming together as a team and earning your Colors!!! We are so proud of you!
Zulu seems to be getting it together, way to go, we are proud of all of you
We finally heard from our son on Saturday. What a great Valentine's gift!
He had his wisdom teeth out the day before and he had been pretty sick. I guess there was a lot of that going around!
He will be going back to Cape May to be on a 87' Cutter. That wasn't his first choice, but he was pretty excited about it. He is coming home for a few days and flying back to Cape May. It sure was good to hear his voice. It will be even better to see them all graduate.
And we were finally able to see him in a photo.
Congrats Zulu 180! You are all doing great! We are certainly proud of you all!
ZULU 180- Way to go!!!! Everyone is so proud of you, we knew you could do it. Stay strong and be your best. You only have 2 more weeks. We can't wait to see you all together at Graduation.
SEMPER PARATUS!

Did they have the intensive training, i see the weather is bleak
I'M PRETTY SURE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WEATHER BUT I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING TODAY. HOPE IT WASN'T TOO BAD FOR THEM THEY'RE TOUGH! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TITLE IS AFTER BOOT CAMP IS IT STILL S.R OR DOES IT CHANGE?
They do receive their frist advancement this Friday at graduation. They will not be referred to as SR, but instead will be referred to as either Seaman (SN), Seaman Apprentice (SA), Fireman, (FN), or Fireman Apprentice (FA).
Leaving early in the morning to fly out to Cape May! Thanks to everyone writing and sharing and especially to the USCG for allowing us to keep in touch with our recruits through this website. Safe travels everyone...see you in Cape May! Congrats ZULU 180...see you all soon.
this will be the last post from me as we are flying out early.
Good luck to all
Good luck @ graduation and your futures with the Coast Guard!!
