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 Alfa 182. I am Zane's mom. You guys and girls have been there 10 days! Almost 2 weeks. I am praying for you every day. Remember, just when you think you are out of strength, reach deep inside and find a little more, nothing is impossible. You all can do it. Work hard and encourage each other. Now is a time to look to each other for support. You'll be finished before you know it.
Good luck!

Hello Alfa 182, We have been waiting for your blog to start. Just a little over six weeks to go and you will be done! Encourage each other and work hard, it will be over before you know it. I made it through Army basic in the 70's, you can do it.
Keep after it,
Steve

To all of Alpha 182:
Congratulation on accepting the challenge of becoming a Coast Guard recruit.
I would like to share a factual story:
I was on a 140ft stern trawler in 1984 aprox 200mi south of Pascagoula, Ms and aprox 200mi West of Clearwater, Fl when I became seasick and ruptured my esophagus. This condition is fatal if not treated and presents a 50-50 chance of survival if treated within 12 hrs.
The Coast Guard dispatched a chopper from Clearwater and took me to a hospital where I was operated on.
I would not be here today if not for the grace of God and the dedication of our Coast Guard.
The other branches of our military may get the publicity, but OUR Coast Guard is the one that's there when we need them.
I pray that all of Alpha 182 will live up to the tradition and dedication of the brave men and women that have gone before them.
Zane's paw-paw

Hello ALFA 182. You all stay strong and keep after it. Somethings are easy and you can breeze right through, enjoy those times. When the difficult tasks come about, you may have to slow down and take it inch by inch, step by step. The main thing is to work together, help each other and make it to the end. Your at the half way point, you can , and will finish.
Zane, like your Mom said, not a day goes by without someone asking about you. GW, Georgia, Kevin, Brad, the Longs and Goins all inquired about you at Church yesterday. You are an amazing young man, surrounded by what sounds like some pretty amazing people.
Rudy, Alice and Ed say "woof" and "meow".
ALFA 182, keep it up.
Zane, I love you son,
Dad
Bri,
Half-Way! All your family and friends are asking about you and wishing you the best. One month we will see you and your classmates in Cape May, we are counting the days.

Well Alfa 182, another week down. I think your historian said how it feels best...the days go slow sometimes, but the weeks seem to fly! Your journal says so much about how you are all growing and changing..coming together more at every challenge & task that is placed before you. You should all be proud. We are.~~Daniel, my sweet son. You're one outstanding young man. I struggle to put into words the pride I have for you. As I've been saying (in your many letters) keep strong, keep focused, and remember that God's got your six! He's your answer to every struggle, and request for help. I Love You!!~~~GO ALFA 182!

On graduation day, they'll all be so loud!
Hat's off to you, Alpha 182!!!

Michael we are all so proud of you! Your dad actually sat at the computer and read the notes from your historian, and being an ole navy man he got a big kick out of them, and would chuckle now and then. Alfa 182 keep up the good work, work as a team and continue to strive to be the best guardians in the world. Just 4 more weeks...
SR Freeman's mom and dad.

love from grandma and grandpa Hernandez.
Hi Alpha 182! It's the weekend and we can't wait until Tuesday when you post more news of what you have all been learning. You are half way through your training. We hope it is getting somewhat easier for those of you that are finding this to be one of the toughest challenges you have ever faced. We just want you ALL to know we are thinking of you. We pray your whole group stays together as a team and helps those that need a little something extra. For some of you this is easy, for others it is more difficult. I may have already said this in a previous comment, but remember, you are only as strong as your weakest link.
Take care of yourselves and of each other. "Keep on Keep'in on"
You CAN do this!
Mom and Dad Mills, parents of SR Jessica Mills
Hi Alfa 182,
Finishing week 4! You have passed the half-way mark. Congratulations! You all have a lot to be proud of. Your loved ones are all proud of you and cheering you on. I pray for blessing to you all, strength to you when you feel week, and mutual respect to each other always but especially in the trying times. Remember this is about team work, stick together and help each other when you can. Remember you may be the one needing help at some point.
May God continue to watch over you all.
All my love to you Zane.
Mom
Greetings all:
You have come a long way and some of you may be a little discouraged, tired, distressed, homesick or not feeling as excited as when you started boot camp.
Don't slow down now, you are close to becoming the kind of man the whole world looks up to. Its only a short few weeks to graduation and then you will walk tall, proud and full of self confidence knowing that you can handle any thing that comes your way.
Believe me, its worth the extra effort to become a member of one of the greatest and most respected forces this nation has.
I am proud of you Zane.

Alfa-182 only 17 days and a wake up until graduation! Keep up the great job and remember, if you work as a team everything is possible. Hopefully your company earns an on-base liberty and you'll be able to call this Saturday.
Daniel & Alfa 182, the days to your new beginning are getting closer. SO hard to believe the time is almost here to put another graduating class of new Guardians into the Fleet. Every day you show your CC's how much you have grown and come together as a team. We all continue to be so proud of you. Every time we read an update from your Historian, our hearts swell even more. Keep your heads clear, and your bodies strong as you strive toward your goals.~ Daniel, I love you My Son, My Heart, My Hero! XOXO Momma XOXO
Job 8:7 Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.

Wow, can you believe it Alfa 182 you're at Week 7! This week won't be easy with taking all your final exams, close order drill test, and the obstable course. Don't worry, your company commanders have given you the tools for a successful Coastie career. The most important tool is teamwork. Hold you heads up high for you are Alfa-182!
ALFA 182 You are so close now, just 10 more days ! We are still behind you all the way with our thoughts and prayers.Can't wait to see all of you as ALFA 182 graces the spotlight on your graduation day. You have all reached deep within yourselves to become our guardians and we are so grateful for your service.Thanks to each and every one of you ! May God be with you all as you embark on this honorable journey.Chris we love you and we are all so proud of you!See you very soon.SR Marchant's mom
SR Kasey Olson, MY SON (and all of ALFA 182)
the reservations are made and confirmed--I cannot wait to begin the road trip up to see you.
Saying that I am proud of you seems to fall short of how I truly feel, but for the lack of a better words I am, PROUD OF You and what you are doing. Grandpa sends you and ALFA 182 a BOO YAH....Keep it up folks...work together and together you will do it righteous.
Alfa-182~~SINGLE DIGITS RECRUITS!! Nine days as I type, and you will be on that Parade Deck as the newest Guardians of the Sea. Your time at the Cape will forever be ingrained as, believe it or not, a memory that always brings a smile to your lips as well as your hearts. You will be thankful for the trials, and challenges you faced there, for without them, you would not have become part of the Elite Shield of Freedom.
Continue to fight to the finish Alfa-182. End your time there as THE BEST, THE STRONGEST, THE ALFA!
Give your CC's a really good reason for all the I.T.they supplied you with. :o)
Daniel, again, your determination, your strength, and your faith has made me (how we say it here) 'wicked, pain in your chest proud'. I love you my son, my heart, my hero.
2 Chronicles 15:7~ But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded
xoxo Momma xoxo

Jack
Hi Jack,
Here it is: gregzilberfarb@gmail.com
Thanks again,
Greg
I want to say hi to all the family and friends of Alfa 182 and hope that your child, spouse, and friends are doing well in their new duty assignments. Jack thank you for bringing us all together, in the pictures you took at graduation. Especially for those of us who didn't make it to the ceremony. I'm sure we were not the only ones whose child or loved one had to go far away and opted to meet him or her to spend days with them instead. We cherish those days before they left for thier tours. Your photos brought the graduation we missed to us. Good Luck to all we will always be connected by the summer of 2009 Boot Camp. God Bless to all
SA Fadeley's Family
