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.

LOOKING GOOD YANKEE 181~~
Sounds like you are all doing GREAT!!! keep up the good work!!!
"go yankee 181"
!good work!
I love Baby
your mom
Joey Zylberman...Hi We were so glad to finally see that you guys had some journals up. I must say that as a mom it's not so easy to read this stuff. When you come home you will TRULY deserve some r and r. We still can't figure out where you are in the pictures. You guys all look alike! We are all proud of you, None of us would be able to do what you are doing. Keep up the good work and keep your chin up. You should be mighty proud!! We love you...Us xoxo
Kaleb - love the video....can't pick you out of the group, but y'all look sharp! Walk that tightrope! - Love, Mom
SR Mills,
Half way there guys!! Sounds like there are still some learning curve issues. That's o.k. as long as you are all trying as a team and helping those that need the extra help. As much as I hate to quote old addages, "you are only as strong as your weakest link". Don't think of it as a weak link though, just think of it as someone who needs your help. Someone who might be the one to help you later on and someone who might be the one to save your backside down the road.
Looks like this week will be pretty busy with mid terms and fitness testing. Good luck 181. Study hard and give it your all!!
Not much has changed around here. Steady work grind and hot weather. Leo misses you and so do a lot of other folks. Everyone asks about you and your training. They all look forward to seeing you after graduation.
Good luck this week!! We'll be checkin in on the blog. Maybe you'll be able to read a few when time permits.
Mom and Dad
I LOVE THE VIDEO, IT IS JUST LIKE I RUN THINGS AROUND HOME!! I WONDER IF WE ARE THE ONLY PARENTS WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS TRYING TO FIND OUR RECRUIT?
YOU ALL LOOK FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROBIN,
I DID THE SAME THING!!! DID YOU HAVE ANY LUCK?
Good morning Joe,(at least it's morning when I'm writing this. Last night Sophie was naughty and up at 3:50 a.m.!! Oh well, she's napping now. I hope you are all well. I keep looking at the newest piture and I think I did find you! Anysay, I love you. Keep up the gtreat work. How impressive it is that you are doing what you are! You are on my mind ALWAYS! Love, Mom
Joe, Sorry for all the typos! I'm exhausted! Love, Mom
Hi Jay, just a short note to let you know that everything is well at home. I'm resting your Dad & BabaLooey are taking good care of me. I hope you're getting my letters. Both Grandma's send their Love they are very proud of you... I look at the picture searching for you but no luck yet. I know that you will do well because you are totally committed.

Hi Brandon,
Hope this goes through - way too old to "blog," but I miss you, so I'm going to give it a try. Sounds like you are in an awesome unit and you are all working hard. I'm so proud of you and can't wait to see you at graduation. P.S. Got my flag last week and I'm ready to go, and working hard to get in shape to do it! Miss you lots. Hang in there. Love, Grammy
SR Mills,
Got two letters today. Sounds like you are doing great! Glad to hear that you guys are starting to work well with each other. Sorry to hear about your glasses. Maybe it's just an adjustment that needs to be done. You'll have to inquire about it if you get time. Good luck the rest of the week!! We'll be thinking about you. We love and miss you!
Mom and Dad

Haha wow! This is the best! Now you know what I had to go through! And to think, you made fun of me back in the day for being in ROTC! ;b but you guys look so good...I know it's hard and all of the commands are hard to get down but you'll pick it up quickly. Hudy and I watched the video a million times and we both swear you're exactly where I jokingly asked you to be...near the front and to the outside.
Keep up the hard work and know that we all love you very much. I can't wait to see my baby again...I miss you so much! But I love you more than you'll ever know...
With all my heart,

SR Hunt and Y-181,
Today I attended the local area Coast Guard Picnic. As I look around I saw you each there in the family. I don't know when I have been so proud. You are the next brick in the bulwark of defense and life saving tradition that is known around the world for over 200 years ~ You are Coast Guardsman!
I read your journal. Please indulge me as I offer this advise. Great men and women in the past have fallen due to arrogance, complacency, and mental exhaustion. Let him who stands tall take heed, lest he falls.
Be humble! Be a team! Be Always Ready! You are the only YANKEE 181: there is no other. You are making history. Make it good.
Do this!!
I love you,
dad
SR: FRY, Corey
Hi Sunshine

Love You Bunches
Gram
SR Meade - Roscoe, Yankee 181's journal and your letter sounded like you guys have had a really rough week and are a little bit discouraged. Keep your chins up and your eyes on the goal - GRADUATION - only 13 more days! We know you can do it.....I hope the H1N1 virus and all other sickness has skipped Yankee and that you are all doing well.
Roscoe - You're almost there...you are a leader and a winner and a team player - at all these things you excel. Do your very, very best and then help all the rest.
We love you the most! Mom, Dad, Kaitlyn, Mamaw and Papa
sr: Scott Webster
Just wanted to say hang in there you don't have much longer to go!!
SR Fernandez
baby only 9 more days!!!! you are almost done!!! I'm sooooooo proud of you ... every body ask about and you cant imagine how good I feel talking about you!!
I love you!!!
Erik Rocha
Hi Brandon,
Grammy checking in (for the LAST time - yay!) I really, really love you, but I hope I NEVER have to blog again - still takes me half the day to figure out how to do it. Last week's journal was really great; sounds like you guys/gals are on the same page and fully focused on your goal. It must have been an awesome feeling when people where cheering you all on as you passed their houses - wish I could have been there to see that. I can't wait to see you (and Sabreena) in ONLY FIVE DAYS!!!
Love,
Grammy :)
