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.

Hello Brendon, I really do miss you son and I’m so very proud that you have chosen to serve your country by joining the US Coast Guard. They will teach you many things that I could not, and will provide you with many great opportunities, and adventures.
So have fun with it, hit the beaches of Cape May running, with a positive attitude and take advantage of this opportunity.
Learn all that you can, and remember to never give up no matter how many obstacles that are thrown at you over the next 8 weeks.
I’m looking forward to seeing you rise up to this occasion, and meeting all the challenges that the moto “Semper Paratus” brings with it on graduation day, July 3rd.
See you soon Son.
With Much Love Dad

Hey Daniel. It's your sister. Ive been home all weekend and its awefully quiet without you here. Im still getting used to it. The dogs walk in your room and are confused. Plus with Mom not here as well, they are super confused. Im trying to give them lots of attention.
Ive got 3 more weeks of school and then finals and then Im done for the summer. We are gonna book our tickets soon to come out for your graduation.
We just had an earthquake about an hour ago. It was a 5.0. The dogs barked and the house shook but I didnt feel anything. I just thought Dad was doing something in your room.
Keep your head up. I know you'll do great. Hopefully your anxiousness subsided and your enjoying your new life & all the new friends your making. Know that I support you 110%!
Gotta go study!
Moe says HI.

P.S. Just mailed you another letter tonight.
Caleb,
I'm praying for you every day. God has blessed me with a special son and I know He has led you to the Coast Guard for a great purpose. Look to Him every day and He will see you through.
You already have some days behind you and I know it won't be long until we see you at graduation. Levi has already reserved our tickets. How was Chapel? I encourage you to go to the services. Honor God and He will bless you. Love, Proud Dad
...Because my son Caleb has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it. Numbers 14:6
Hi Steve...I just read your first letter. A bit different from the Journal posting that was written. Hang in there, I know it's hard to see the bigger picture right now.

greetings from monterey and laguna seca. hope you are having as much fun as i did when i was in new jersey. learn more than i did and we will both sleep easier. keep your head up and take as much as they can dish out. sleep when you can, study and absorb, and don't let the mosquitos carry you away. just like they told me: you wouldn't be there if they didn't think you could make it. uncle jer
Hi Caleb! Two weeks are already down and your working on the third! Take courage in that. I know you are being all that you can be - and keep asking God for strength. You are right where He placed you. Can't wait to see you on July 2nd. Love and miss you, Mom
