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.

Graduation Info
Dear Friends and Family Members of Graduating Recruits,
In a very short time, your recruit will complete basic training and graduate as a proud Maritime Guardian, morally, mentally and physically fit to execute Coast Guard missions around the world. Welcome to the Coast Guard family! The graduation ceremony is an occasion that most will remember forever. I hope that you will be able to attend for this special event.
First, we invite you to join us for breakfast at the Harborview Club from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on graduation day for a minimal fee of $5.00. Our gates do not open for graduation visitors until 8:30 a.m. sharp, so please do not arrive before then. We will have a “Parent’s Brief” in the Ida Lewis Auditorium beginning at 10:00 a.m., where we will provide you with an overview of the morning’s activities and a short video presentation about recruit training. There are several information booths staffed with spouses, family programs personnel and Tricare medical representatives to answer any questions you might have about your transition into the Coast Guard family.
Graduation is a formal military ceremony that begins promptly at 11:00 a.m. and lasts for about 45 minutes. At the ceremony’s conclusion, your newly minted Guardian is free to depart on five days of well-deserved leave before reporting to their new duty station. The first opportunity you will get to see your graduate will be at the ceremony. Graduation will be on the parade field from late spring until early fall and in the gymnasium during the colder months or inclement weather. The Training Center is located on the ocean, and outdoor graduations in spring and fall can be breezy and chilly. The auditorium, parade field and gymnasium are all handicapped accessible. Commercially produced videos of the graduation may be purchased from a vendor who will be in a clearly marked location at the ceremony.
After the ceremony, graduates must pick up their personal belongings from the barracks. Before departing, I invite you to take a short tour of the Training Center so that your graduate can point out areas of interest and share stories of recruit training. The statue of Douglas Munro, the Coast Guard’s only recipient of the Medal of Honor, is across the street from the Command and Mission Support Building. Signalman First Class Munro was killed in action while protecting U.S. Marines at Guadalcanal during World War II. The memorial serves to remind us that the Coast Guard is one of our nation’s five armed services.
The Coast Guard Exchange, is a small department store that will have a variety of items for sale. Unless you are currently serving on active duty or are retired from the military, you must be with your graduate in order to make a purchase.
I look forward to meeting you at the nation’s only Coast Guard Recruit Training Center where we will collectively honor our newest Maritime Guardians.
Sincerely,
Cari Thomas
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard
Commanding Officer,
U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Cape May
