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.

Yankee 181--
Well.... I guess Yankee 181 may be having more incentive training... No phone call tonight with orders for a new duty station. Hopefully we will hear something tomorrow. Or maybe we won't hear anything at all....
Joey Zylberman and all of Yankee 181. We were so sad to hear of the H1N1 virus on the base. Please do what you can to take care of yourselves and know that we are all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. We love you very much!! Dad, Mom and Amy
Hi Jay: Hopping that you and your shipmates (Yankee 181) where not affected by the H1N1 virus... But it seem like some had, please keep your hands clean and try to eat the right things.
I receive your letter on Wednesday which like you makes me very happy. By now you probably received the one I sent you early in week. I'm so very proud of you I knew that you where going to do great. Maintain the positive attitude and stay focus. I Love you Mom
OH NATHAN! IT WAS WONDERFUL TO HEAR FROM YOU! WASHINGTON? THAT IS ALMOST CANADA!! IT LOOKS EXCITING, I HAVE CHECKED IT OUT ON THE INTERNET.
I HOPE YOU GET THROUGH THAT SMALL POX VACCINATION SOON. TELL EM TO QUIT STICKING YOU!! OUCH!
I LOVE YOUR LETTERS, AND I ACTUALLY LET THE GIRLS AT THE SURGERY CENTER READ ONE, AND THEY WERE CRYING AND ALL PROUD OF YOU TOO. YOU ARE DOING AMAZING NATE, KEEP STRONG, YOU SOUNDED A BIT TIRED DURING YOUR CALL.
WE ARE ALL CHEERING YOU ON, YOU ARE ALMOST THROUGH IT, AND LOOK HOW YOU HAVE GROWN AND WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.
GO 181
BUT ESPECIALLY NATE
Joey Z. Oh Yay!! Kittery Maine!! My favorite place in the world!! Bermuda too??? What could be better? Congrats and we love you!!! Keep up the great work!!! Mom, Dad, Amy, Otis and Sophie!!
NATE, I WANT TO GO WHALE WATCHING!!!
SR Mills--
It was so exciting to hear your voice!! Daddy and I looked into your duty station the rest of the day. Can't wait to talk to you in person, I know you're going to have so many stories. Just twenty days until we see you!! Stay strong and healthy all of y'all are in our prayers that you get through this without getting sick. Drink your OJ!!

Hi Jay, it was so nice to hear your voice this morning. You did sound a little under the weather... Please drink lots of OJ & lots of fluids. I Can't wait to see you on the 21st.
I'm booking your flight for your trip home the saturday morning after graduation. Your Dad & I will be flying back with you. Your aunt & uncle are driving to the Cape for your graduation this will give you a little time to spend with them before coming home.
Everyone is really proud of you!
We Love you and Miss you Mom & Dad.
God Bless you, God Bless Yankee 181
SR Spence-
Happy birthday baby!!! Your mom and I were talking about how you were born on a Sunday, and what a blessing your life is! I'm so thankful to have you in my life, but most of all, to have your life in the palm of His hand. I'm so proud of all you've accomplished and to hear about your station! I know that God has an amazing plan for you and it's only beginning to unfold. I'm counting the days, minutes, hours until I get to see you again...
With all my heart,

SR GARSIK - How AWESOME to hear your voice! ..even if there wasn't much voice to hear! Definetly sounded like you've been working yourself SO hard, but just think..in only 17 days we'll be starting a whole new adventure, a whole new life.. and be on our way to MAINE! it's crazy to think that in only a month from now we will be living in a whole new place & you will truly be fulfilling your dreams & your purpose :) (although it really did start june 30th there in Cape May..). Keep that head held high & keep those Yankees motivated! Can't wait to see you standing proud on that field ;) I love you with all my heart.. and i am SO proud of you..beyond what any words can say. God is using you in mighty ways, and I can't wait to see what lies ahead :)

SR Hunt and Y181,
Your Company Commanders sound like very patient folks. Do well and encourage with all patience those who either choose to or are unable to do well. These are the folks you will sail with. You need each other to reach those places you are intended to reach. It was a hard week last week, but I hope you learned, endured, and persevered.
I pray for you daily and am so very anxious to attend your graduation. Everyone here asks about you. You are almost done with this phase. Run with endurance, this race that is set before you. It's now a sprint to the end. I'm proud of you in your trials. I love you,
dad
