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.

We hope the lack of sleep isn't too hard and you're adjusting.
We speak and think of you often.

Hey Nick - how's it going? Can you believe that you don't have to go back to school (well sort of...). We're so excited for you in your new adventure. Hope you're enjoying it ;).
Taylor and Kirstin started last week - they're in 10th grade (OMG!). Taylor has a boyfriend (who we, of course, hate). But, at least she seems to be happy (whatEVER).
Bobby's happy that the Cowboys look good in the preseason. Hope they have a good team this year. I'm looking forward to seeing Marion the Barbarian destroy everyone - that's always entertaining, even if I don't understand anything else about the game.
Hope you're doing well and having fun (well - as much fun as is practical. :D

Hello Kyleigh,
Got your letter dated 30AUG2009. Hang in there kid. Here are some tips someone told me on the boondockers. Shin your boots with polish and brush than do this:
Dab a teeshirt using the tip of your fin
ger in the shirt piece in a little water and use the lid of your polish can. Rub in circles(Spit Shin). Ask someone in your company for help if that does not work.
E-182 you are strong as a company and weak as an individual,always work as a team.
I love you and cannot wait to find out were your going.
Love Dad

rats!!!!!! dear shannon and april fieste I missed your call again. Im just stuck at work and not allowed to use my cell phone. Im so sorry - your probably frustrated with not being able to talk. Anyway i have to return home right after graduation. i wont have time to site-see , i have to catch my flight from atlantic city around, 7pm friday night on oct 2nd. we might have some time to go to eat out at a restuarant. I wonder if you want to try and get the same flight home with me? i wonder if you want to come home at all or just site-seein new jersey? just remember you only have 5 days til you must report to new duty station. ok i hope to catch your next call home .. love you both
