Participated in sports in H.S., loves to hunt and fish. Our area is famous for its recreation so he grew up doing all these things. Spent a couple of years in College, but could not decide what he wanted to do. It's wonderful that he has taken a new direction that will help him become even stronger and more committed to life. Would like to here from others. Look forward to possibly meeting some at graduation.; February 10, 2009 at 9:52 AM

Big deal for all my patients that my daughter is going Coastie.
Nice picture in the Record Bee! I thought Tina should have used your graduation photo but she picked out a pic from the cruise that showed what I thought was too much skin.
Do you get yelled at a lot? How's the food? Are you sore?

Linda said...: To Sabrina Ferris Mom, sometimes there is comfort in knowing you are not alone. My son, SR Sisti, was notified on 2/21 he was being held back 7 days which moves him from Alfa Company to Bravo Company. Keep up the prayers and letters. The USCG has been doing this for a long time. I have every confidence they know what they're doing and why they're doing it.; February 25, 2009 at 10:28 AM
Sabrina Ferris - Proud CG Mom said...: To Linda,

Thanks so much for your kind words...I too believe that things happen for a reason and have no doubt that the CG has a grand plan!
Best of luck to you and your son.; February 25, 2009 at 10:47 AM
southwind said...: Geoff, Great to get your letter. Sorry to hear you were ill. Glad you're feeling better. To all you at B181 keep up the hard work it WILL pay off at the end.; February 25, 2009 at 6:55 PM
Anonymous said...: Linda,

Welcome to the Bravo family! I know it is disheartening to be away from your son an extra week, but it will make him stronger. The Bravo men and women will be there for him. I know it must be tough for him right now, but they will all get through it together.

Stay strong, we don't have that much longer either!!; February 25, 2009 at 8:29 PM

Sounds like they had a pretty tough row, but I'm certain it has made each one of them that much stronger. Can't wait to see the stands full of family and friends all with eye's full of pride for all the young people from Bravo 181. See you there.; February 26, 2009 at 3:21 PM
CactusBlossomsMom said...: Well - It's my daughters 19th birthday today. First Birthday away. Does anyone know if they do anything special or is it better if no one knows so they won't give her a hard time? Since I can't wish her the happy birthday, I thought I could at least post it here so when she gets out she knows I was thinking of her.; February 26, 2009 at 7:21 PM
Proud CG Wife- Rollins said...: Yesterday I received my first phone call! It was so good to hear his voice. He called to tell me that his duty station is Dulac, LA! Apparently housing is very limited there so he had to give me the information so we could set it up. Hope you all get to find out your places soon!; February 27, 2009 at 9:42 AM
EastCounty said...: Proud CG Wife- Rollins ...Got your assignment congrats ... below is a link to that area with some demographics too.

http://www.city-data.com/city/Dulac-Louisiana.html; February 27, 2009 at 1:04 PM
Proud CG Wife- Rollins said...: NAK- Thanks so much for the information, every little bit helps. They are in quite a hurry for me to get us a place there. They had my husband call me at 11am today to find out if I had housing set up already. So I've been rushing around all day trying to set every thing.; February 27, 2009 at 2:45 PM
CactusBlossomsMom said...: I have a question. My daughter is going straight to A School from Boot Camp. Will she still get an assigment before A school or will they wait until after she finishes to give her an assignment? This is a bit frusterating trying to make travel arrangements from Hawaii not know what is going on til the last minute.; February 27, 2009 at 2:53 PM
IT2 Godfrey said...: Cactus-This depends on the A School. What rate is she going?; February 27, 2009 at 2:57 PM
CactusBlossomsMom said...: She is going to FS (Food Specialist) A School as an e3 at Tracen Petaluma.; February 27, 2009 at 3:09 PM
IT2 Godfrey said...: FS "A" School is approximately 11 weeks long. She'll most likely receive orders to her first unit within the last four weeks of school. With the FS rate being a "critical rate" in the CG, she may know sooner, but not while in boot camp.; February 27, 2009 at 3:19 PM
CactusBlossomsMom said...: Thanks a million!! That is a big help. It also helps me to narrow down the questions I need to be able to ask her when she calls. Aloha.; February 27, 2009 at 3:41 PM
Proud Coastie Parents - Michael/Teri Witherington said...: What about OS (Operation Specialist) will they find out their orders before leaving boot camp? His school will be in Petaluma California.; February 27, 2009 at 7:00 PM
IT2 Godfrey said...: For those recruits being ordered to "A" Schools either in Petaluma, CA or Yorktown, VA, they will only receive orders to those schools. Those schools are their first units. No "post-A-school" orders will be cut while they're in boot camp. Reason being is that it is assumed the students will graduate A school as 3rd Class Petty Officers. E4 and above billets are very different from E3 and below billets. As such, orders to future units can not be issued until they're in school (usually within the last third of the school). There are a great deal of factors that affect assignments and things can change quickly. Some schools can last up to 7 months. Hope this clears up any confusion!; February 27, 2009 at 7:31 PM
CactusBlossomsMom said...: YEAHHHH- I just got "the call'! OMG it was so great to hear her voice. You were right, her orders are to Petaluma for A school and she will get her permanent orders after that. I am on cloud 9!!!; February 27, 2009 at 7:33 PM

r&phallgreen said...: USCG Mom...I'm not sure about this, but Ive been reading "Blogs" form all the units and I think we may get another call this weekend, but again I'm not sure. I was totally shocked last night by our call, she could only talk for 90 sec. and it was to tell us where she'll be stationed, but I've read where others got longer calls and it should be this week end for Bravo 181...but I'm not definate. Try not to feel bad, though...just keep writin' letters!; February 28, 2009 at 2:51 PM

I'm just wondering if we go and do this or if the C.G. places them, like in a dorm...appreciate any feedback...Go Bravo!!!; March 4, 2009 at 8:38 PM
Northern Ca. SARDOG said...: r&pmallgreen
If your comfortable you can contact me at jcollins254@sbcglobal.net with the assignment(station/cutter) and I can send you the unit info sheet. For instance my recruit is heading to a small boat station she will be put up at the duty section while making arrangements for living in the economy. This is a good deal as they get a chance to be at their assignment around the clock & get acclimated. The info sheet will let you know what the deal is at that assignment.; March 4, 2009 at 9:23 PM
IT2 Godfrey said...: I'll try to generalize your recruit's housing arrangements at their first units. Let me assure you that they'll be taken care of by their units. That's what we do. We'll start with single members with no dependents. Those assigned to cutters will most likely live on the cutter for a short time and then be transferred to barracks (like a dorm, usually shared 2-3 per room). Those assigned to stations or other land units will most likely be assigned to barracks. A release from government quarters to live "on the economy" is generally not granted to junior members unless of course no quarters are available. Married members or those with dependents will generally be offered government housing (not barracks...actual homes, apartments, etc.) depending on availability. Major factors influencing the type or size of housing include paygrade and number of dependents. If gov't housing is not available or there is a waiting list, members are authorized to collect BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing, non-taxable amount which is based on unit location) and live on the economy. Please keep in mind that this is a generalization. Every unit is unique and each command may have its own policies. As SARDOG mentioned the Unit Data Sheets usually offer very detailed info on the unit and include specific info on the type of housing afforded to newcomers to the fleet. You can usually find the Data Sheets using Google. Feel free to email me with questions at Patrick.J.Godfrey@uscg.mil

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.
