WOW! Pretty impressive first couple of weeks! It's so great to get a little insight to what you and your G182 'family' have been doing each day! As parents & family, we can only imagine and hope and pray from a distance, so this is really, really great! We're all cheering you guys on... and as evidenced by all the comments, G182 has an awesome support system! Bri - you are loved more than words can convey! I miss you every minute of the day, and can't wait to hear from you! And at the same time, I'm so happy you're in the right place at the right time! Remember always that God holds you in the palm of His hand - and that's some good hands to be in! OXOXOX Mom, HH, Blake, Lo & Tay; September 9, 2009 at 4:45 PM

So sorry I haven't written in a few days been not feeling so great !!
I got your letter on September 11th and it made my day. I guess it's because that day is so hard for me to begin with that it made it a little bit more pleasant.
I hope you know that we are all missing you and can not wait to see you at your GRADUATION. I was glad to hear you passed your swim test I am sure that was a hard one. (good girl)
I am also glad to hear that you are eating well and healthy too, and just between you and me on the 21st which will be your 22nd birthday you should have that piece of cake...lol ahhhhhhh maybe even two.
:)
I miss you my BarbieDoll,I knew I would but could never have imagined how much !!
I am so proud of you my sweet girl and I want you to know that I always have been.
Keep up the GREAT work and You will make yourself proud !!!!
I have to tell you this but don't tell Dad I told you okay???
He actually lost it yesterday when we were talking about you, he said how much he misses you too. SHHHHHHHHH don't tell him I told you. (our secret) He is soooooooo proud of "HIS LITTLE GIRL"
Willie and Tom are too.
I actually think Tasha and Angel are missing you too Tasha was getting sick for a couple of days after you left and Angel hasn't been the same either.

Well today is the 17th and you have reached your half way mark...
How does it feel knowing that so many people are sooooo proud of you and are standing by your side waiting for your graduation day????
Pretty good I would imagine : )
We are all counting the days until we can see you again.
I hope you got my letter ~ there should be some more coming !!!
I bet you never expected to be celebrating your 22nd birthday in the U.S Coast Guard Boot Camp huh ??? Well that makes two of us because I never expected that I would not be there to ever celebrate ANY of your birthdays.
All I can say is that I also never expected to have a wonderful,brave,gorgeous & corageous daughter stand up with other REMARKABLE men and women who have chosen to fight for their country either. (but like " Forest Gump's Mamma" said " LIFE's LIKE A BOX OF CHOCLATES ~ YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YA GONNA GET) lol
I love ya my BarbieDoll and miss you terribly I pray for you and the rest of G/182 every night.
I pray that you are all staying strong and keeping the faith to know that with your hard work and determination anything is possible. Look how far you all have come already ; )
I can not wait to meet all of you at graduation and personally thank each and every one of you for the commitment you have all given for our country. You should all be so proud and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your families sure are......(I can attest to that myself)
Well I guess I rattled you ear enough for a little bit now get back to work....lmao
I LOVE YOU MY BABY GIRL !!!!!
I MISS YOU MY BABY GIRL !!!!!

He is so proud, he is getting his dress blues all ready for graduation day and he even got his hair cut. He looks like he did a year ago when he was in the military. He talks about you to everyone at work, they have been also waitting for the new up dates on the journal. You are on everyones minds, that's all we talk about, we all read each others letters. We are on the down side now, keep up your spirits, you are a very strong person. I love you and miss you so much.

Thought you could use a laugh. Love you see you soooooon. Gma; September 17, 2009 at 9:33 PM

I along with all the families from G/182 could not be prouder of all of you I'm sure of that.

Hope your SUNDAY is relaxing.
We went to Galveston camping this weekend already home the mosquitoes were horrible, could not stand to be there one minute more. Checked the mailbox in hopes for another letter.
We are as excited for mail as you are. Starting your 4th week must be exciting. Can't wait for your dream sheet to come out. Make a good choice. Corpus would look good for me!!!; September 20, 2009 at 12:18 PM

Our prayers are with you and the others daily. Love Gma and Gpa; September 20, 2009 at 1:38 PM

Debbie said...: Hey Barbie (my birthday girlie),

HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY TO YOU HONEY !!!

I wish we could be together as we have always been for your past birthdays, but this birthday is so much more special for you. Ya see this birthday is all about you and your turning point into achieving what you have dreamed of for a very long time.
It is about all your blood,sweat and tears to get the life you want and to succeed in all of your highest expectations for yourself.
You have grown into such a beautiful, intelligent and vivacious young woman who now has the world at her feet. Barbie you have proved to everyone but most importantly to yourself that you CAN and WILL do whatever it takes to make your dreams a reality.
I am so proud of the woman you have become. Our entire family is so proud of you , they tell me every time I speak to them.
Tomorrow will start your 5th week and you are more than half way done now kiddo !!!! Maybe I will actually get to hear your voice soon.... : )
I hope that you are keeping up your faith and using some of your "divine hours" to go to church.
God will pull you through the rest of the way all you have to do is ask him for the strength when you are feeling a little weak.
Barbie I don't know if you know this or not but you along with all of the other Coastie's from G/182 are our inspiration. You are the future and we hold all of you in such high regard for making this very important decision to protect our BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. We have some problems it's true but we also have faith in all of you to protect us and give us the chance to sleep a little more peacefully at night.
You are all courageous men and women and we all applaud your commitment you have shown to your COUNTRY.
WELL I GUESS I WILL GO FOR NOW ~ BUT JUST REMEMBER WE LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH AND WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THE PIECE OF CAKE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY HONEY "YOU DESERVE THAT AND MUCH MORE"
Love and Miss You Everday

chrissy said...: Hi Crystal,
I read your journals this week, and saw the pictures. They were great. Uncle Rick was wondering how you did with the shooting. Christy took pictures of Golf 182 marching last Sunday, and we got to see you. Your mom has asked her to take pictures whenever she sees you guys. It's kind of nice to know she is right there, even if she can't talk to you. We're all looking forward to your graduation, it's almost time. Tyler and Trevor are writing you a letter, so I'll send them tomorrow. I love you and miss you always.

Just a quick letter to let you know how lucky you are to have such a great group of CC's. Just remember that they are there to make sure you become the BEST COASTIE you can be. Make sure you listen to ALL of them and give them the respect they soooooooooo deserve, There job is probably no picnic for them every day either. Having to yell all the time can be exhausting.
anyway just wanted to give you that little piece of advice !!
Go easy on AMT1 Rosas, IT1 Resendez, BM1 Bailey ~ after all they have your BEST INTEREST AT HEART !!!

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.
