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.

I am really looking forward to the graduation of "Victor 181". Mike is coming. I am trying to make him wear his uniform. Hey Woody Has a place about 5 miles from where your at and he is coming down too. He works for a three star in charge of NCIS. He said he will wear his uniform too. He said we can stay at his place and relax. He said he will make you some corn beef hash like on the dolphin... then on to atlantic city.

Congratulations on two weeks (almost 3)!

SR Paiva:
JOSHIE! I addressed this to your formal name thing in hopes that it'd increase the chances of it being relayed to you. Mom and Dad and I were all really excited when we got your letter yesterday, and I just found the Victor 181 weekly journal thing. I am expecting that come July 31, my big brother's going to be this war-hardened, muscular old man, with this quiet demeanor that is incredibly intimidating in a weird way. But I'm hoping you'll be the same old Joshie, with just a few extra pounds of muscle and fancy-pants "sir, ma'am" manners. I love you a whoooole lot, and I can't wait to see you! I hope everything keeps going well for you, and you end up kicking ass on those push-ups!
-Yer little sister
hey bubba'

Your mom & dad shared your last letter with us. I know it's no walk in the park and it sure is no picnic. Hang in there, be strong and remain tough. Sorry to hear the flu bug has hit hard.

Almost another week completed and before you know it, graduation will be here. You remain in our thoughts as always. Love Granpa

Third week almost over and onward to your 4th. I read your 2nd company journal and I was very impressed. To all recruits in VICTOR 181, way to go!!! I encourage you all to keep up the good work, stick to core values, teamwork and close up ranks. Less incentive training will allow you to get down to the training most important and high lite the reason you are there which will be with you for a life time. Kyle, stay healthy, strong, tough, hang in there and know we are thinking about you. Good luck on the many important events coming up during your 4th week. Be proud as we sure are proud of you and wish you the very best. Love Granpa
