Hope all is going well and you are realizing why you have to do things that on the surface seem crazy. I assure you it will help you be a better Coastguardsman when you get out in the fleet. Michael & I think of you often everyday and pray you are having
a good time, eating well and sleeping well. Keep your nose in your manual - you will be glad on test day!
It Gets Better Each Day/Each Week- Promise!
Tons of love,
XOXOXOXOXO

1 Weeek down, 7 to go. I hope all is going well with you and your shipmates :) No matter how close anyone comes to "not passing" an inspection, test, etc. you will be suprised if you don't give up! Good luck in your memorization, inspections and tests! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Thousands of people did it before you and will do it after you. Can't wait to hear from you but use your personal time wisely! I understand. There will always be plenty of time for war stories after graduation :)

I am SN Arnesen and I just graduated with Foxtrot 181 having both of them as my company commanders and they do everything possible to teach the recruits what it means to be a Guardian and how to deal with stress. I speak this from experience, they are in the best of hands. God Bless

Thank you for the letter... your Mom and I were very happy to hear that you are doing good... although sorry to hear you are not feeling 100%... Eat healthy, you'll bounce back in no time... been looking at the weather for Cape May, talk about changes in the weather... from rain to heat in a matter of hours... Oh well, you can't do much about the weather but you can do alot for yourself and N 181... Continue the hard work, pay attention to the smallest details... there could come a time when the little things help out the most...

We are so proud of you Seaman Recruit Bergman....

love you Buddy....

c monster said...: SR J. Bergman and N 181...

Here's a little joke to hopefully make you all smile...

A whole family was caught in a small boat during a sudden storm off the shores of Florida, but towed to safety in Fort Lauderdale by the ever alert U.S. Coast Guard.

"I always knew God would take care of us," said the composed five year old daughter of the boat owner after the family got home.

"I like to hear you say that," beamed the mother. "Always remember that God is in His heaven watching over us."

"Oh, I wasn't talking about THAT God," the five year old interrupted. "I was talking about the COAST God."

Hope you are having a good time Justin and learning the "ropes"...

We are all so proud of you and your unit, the great N 181...

May you all have fair weather and following seas...

Love Ya Justin..

Hope your getting letters everyday!

You can pass everything - I know! Just like I knew you would do good on the ASVAB and get into the USCG!

Hey Bobby,
Just read the last journey from N181 and it's sounds like things are getting tuff for N181. Sorry to hear that you guys lost a few men but I know that with the 80 you have you guys will be strong and make it through boot camp. Keep your faith with God and pray!
It's tuff when everyone is getting sick and you guys get NO break to rest. That is when prayer is need most. We are thinking about you daily and praying for you daily. Keep up the good work.

Nice reading the newest post from N 181. Hope everyone feeling ill is getting or already better. The history of any military unit runs deep through the years… You and your fellow seaman recruits should feel a great deal of pride being able to associate yourselves with November 181. You carry on a proud tradition, be strong, train hard, make all those who you follow proud to know that the tradition of November 181 lives in your heart’s and soul’s…

MK2TZ said...: Joe.....I'm so sorry I missed your call. I was at the gorge at a Dead concert. The Doobie Brothers and the Allman Brothers opened. It was fun but I got sunburned. I have never seen so many VW buses in my life. Congrats on the midterm! If I had known you might be calling I would have gladly stayed home. It was good to hear your voice, again, I'm sorry you got the machine. I love you man.; May 17, 2009 at 9:57 PM
c monster said...: SR Bergman,

Got e-mail from Hayley, said you were feeling better… that is great news…Hopefully you will get the duty station you requested…as you read this, you will be in week 5 with only 3 more weeks of training…Remember, focus on the moment, graduation will be here soon, yet there is still much more you must learn and remember…pay attention each and every day, every moment of every day…these weeks at Cape May are your core foundation on which the rest of your career in the Coast Guard will be built…observe, learn and remember…

All the best to you Justin and N 181…

How goes the battle? I hope you and your compnay are winning. I hope all of your buds realize how important it is to set differences aside and work together/help each other to graduation. It is the only thing that counts right now. So stay focused - this marks 4 WEEKS LEFT!!! 2 for this month & 2 for next month. YEESSS! I know you have alot of tests this week. Take one at a time- you are smart- you can knock this out of the park. You will pass all the tests. Mommy & look forward to hearing from you sometime!!!

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.
