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.
This is an official United States Coast Guard posting for the Public's information.

SR Ferritto
Hey, Sweet Pea. Thought I'd embarrass you by letting strangers read my note of encouragement. At this stage in your training I think you should hang back and let the weaker ones get out in front to be cut down so you come in for a strong finish. Remember: Eagles may soar in the clouds, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines. I hope this is inspiring. You're my hero, Lee. Love, Your Favorite Aunt Laurie.
SR Fischer

SR Webb, Congrats to all the sons and daughters in J182 on their first assignments. Just wanted to leave you today with a quote from Carl Shurz; "Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides and following them you will reach your destiny." Semper Paratus: Maggie the Wonderdog
Hi, Emily:
It’s been a while since I’ve seen or heard from you, but I’d like to think that we still have that marvelous connection that goes with being a member of a family. I cannot say how proud I am of you and how much I care about you and the direction your life is going in. You are such a wise and courageous young woman to have made your choice of a military career. I strongly encourage you to be hopeful, dedicated, and sincere in your choice of careers, as I am sure you will be.
I recently took some photos out of “storage” and found one of my mother and you – at her 90th birthday party. I wonder if you might like to have it. Mom loved all of her (great) grandchildren so much, and thought of all of you quite often.
I wish I could be there for your graduation but can’t.
Please know that I love you very much and wish only the best for you.
Aunt Joan

I am personally very proud of the decisions you have made since high school graduation and the challenge you have accepted to make a difference not only in your life but the many others you will come across while serving. It may seem tough now but every day gets easier. Focus and have FAITH!!! I don't say it much because we Navy Sailors don't get emotional but I Love my favorite niece. One word of advice that I can give you from reading your companies journals: In the absence of Leadership - LEAD!!!
Love,
