Greeting Captain Thomas,
My name is SN Laster, I graduated out of company Yankee 179 back in August 2008 and was sent to Key West Florida to be part of USCGC Mohawks crew. I wanted to let you know that almost a year after I graduated from Cape May I still love the Coast Guard as much as the first day I arrived at my first unit. The work is hard and the hours are long but I still put our core values to practice everyday. Times in the past have been difficult but we carry on with the work that needs to be done.
Thank you so much for the training that I have received and for the time and effort our company commanders put into us. YN1 Durrant, YN2 Garcia, MK1 Bailey, and MK1 Wagner, were my company commanders -- to this day they and my mother are the only people that scare me. Thank you again.
SN LASTER

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.

It is so nice to hear from someone who has "been there, done that" and is still LOVING what you are doing. I am very proud to have a son who has decided to be a Guardian in the Coast Guard. It's the best decision I think as a parent, he has made. In today's world, and especially with the economy, it makes me happy to know he will be taken care of along with his wife. My heart is full of pride for all who have joined the Military and are protecting our shores everyday. We truly appreciate YOU! THANK YOU! And for writing your journal entry for us to read. You will be in my daily prayers. A Happy Mom of a Coastie.
