Keep your head up and maintain your focus; you will stay motivated if you remind yourself daily of the reason for enlisting.

Remember you are a child of God and no harm can come to you.

Angels just swept boston. It was awesome- they were down by 2 in the 9th with 2 outs, and they came back to win- 7-6. (I'll let somebody who knows how to describe what happened, do so- [: ) Anyways, just wanted to let you know the exciting news! Wish you were here to watch with me!
Miss you so much,
I LOVE YOU

sometimes i talk out loud to you thinking that you're here- but you're not. ( I guess after all the protesting, I am crazy after all) I never realized how much I really enjoy and look forward to talking about the everyday things of everyday life with you- i miss the "how was your day" and "how are you doing" and "guess what i did today" conversations. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and when we go out to see you graduate-I think i might just stare at you for a while- i miss getting to see you! Thinking about you always- I know your doing well. Stay strong and stay focused.
You are going to succeed- and I can't wait to see your future unfold-i love you.
I guess i miss you too.

Hi Justin. Hope you're doing good with your swimming,, I'm sure you are. Have you received any of our letters yet? We haven't received any from you just yet,, waiting patiently,,, After this week you're half way there!!! Hope you received our flight information so you can give it to your travel plan coordinator.. would be great to be coming home together!! It's been raining real hard here today.. the wind is also bad. Should continue tomorrow but will be sunny & in the 70's again after that. Cody had his first flag football yesterday (Mon). It was a close game but they lost by a touchdown. Dad was headed to Antioch this morning on Byron Highway when a tree fell in the road in front of him. Had to slam on his brakes, the trailer was sliding sideways and bumped into the tree.. all is good. Uncle Billy was asking about you today. He's ready to give you your tattoo when you get home. He's thinking about trucking part time and tattooing part time.. Kendall was asking about you too. Gave him your address so hopefully you'll be getting lots of mail. K, keep your head up and stay strong. We believe in you and are very proud of you!!

Hi Brett we got you letter today and I called Keith. Although he said the guard is not bad idea but at this point in your career he would not suggest it and to stick with district 1. Wants to know what units they have open. I will write you but it took awhile for your letter to come it is 9/16 and you wrote it on the 9th. Well as you coming to the end of you fourth week you are now half way through can you believe it. The angels play tonight. Dodgers are tied with philly. 1-1. Go Angels.
Hang in there we think about you all the time. Stay strong.

I loved your letter and thank you for answering all my questions. I'm so proud that you joined the band, I just wish I could see perform but I guess you don't perform at your own graduation. Anyway, Alameda sounds awesome and I would be proud to have two sons guarding the west coast. All is well here. I couldn't be prouder of the soldier you are becoming. Counting the days till 11/13

Was reading comments from MIKE 182 and noticed a very interesting piece of info. If you go to Oct. 9 and read a paticular comment, and then keep reading the ones further down the page you will see that our recruits don't get to read these blogs. They are meant more for us to communicate with eachother. Interesting! Our son is fresh out of the Secret Service and decided to join the USCG and is probably one of the older young men there and are very proud of him. How about the rest of you?; October 17, 2009 at 3:58 PM

Anonymous said...: Hi parents and spouses of Kilo/182, Our daughter graduated from college, in May 2008 with a bachelors degree in Criminology and Justice Studies. She says she is looking to do something "Not Boring" Ha Ha, I hope this met her expectations. She also is probably one of the older females there. We are very proud of her and supportive of her decision. Please let everyone know about your loved ones.; October 17, 2009 at 6:17 PM

Hey babe! I hope your days are going better. I have a laugh for you, I locked myself and Ruger out of the house today...haha. Sam came to save the day. I talked to John Long today and he posted a blog too. So things have been pretty good here. Yesterday at work I got to talk to Dr. Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve Chairman, so that was pretty cool. I am starting the count down. Less than a month till I see you again. I can't wait. I love you and miss you very much.
Always and forever,

Uncle Jimmie said...: Hey Amanda,
This your Uncle Jimmie. I have finally rented Twilight. That was an awesome movie! I have the other movie on order and waiting for them to arrive. I should be caught up with the sequels by the time you are home and ready for the new release when you get home and go spend some time with you. I am really looking forward to that; spending time with you before you go to your new duty station. All is well your Uncle Mark is still attached to the Sate Dept. and should be home just before Christmas for a couple of weeks; can't wait for that! I hope all is well with you and with all your shipmates. I still haven't heard from you. have you recieved my letter yet? Once I know you are getting them I will write you more. I love you Amanda and miss you. Keep staying strong as I know you are doing. I will see you at graduation. Love you, Uncle Jimmie; October 18, 2009 at 3:14 AM
Anonymous said...: Hi! Just wanted to share some info I got from my recruit. She thinks they get to read the blog around week 5. They are working very hard in classes right now. They will know around the end of week 6 if they earn off base liberty at week 7. She tells me the food is good and they do get a good variety daily. They are in the process of choosing 12 locations that they would like to serve at first. They are having pictures (composite style) in uniform taken. Things are coming at them so fast that some recruits have to study more therefore not much time to write. They do keep up with sports scores, weather around the country etc with the chaplain. Hope to meet all the families at graduation on November 13th. If anyone has more information to share, please write on blog.; October 18, 2009 at 10:56 AM
kim said...: SR Robbins
Thank you for the information from your recruits. My son informed me that a mentor came in and read some of the blog comments but they left out names and specifics. Some of the recruits cried thinking that the comments were meant for them. They will be different men and woman by week 7 so they wlll read the comments with pride and accomplishment. Looking forward to November 13th to witness Kilo-182 as an entity.; October 18, 2009 at 11:12 AM
kim said...: I think that a phone call might be coming in on Monday (tomorrow) to inform us of their first Unit. Stay near the phone.; October 18, 2009 at 11:16 AM

Our daughter is a high school graduate & just celebrated her 19th birthday at boot camp. They had her do 19 push ups while they sang happy birthday to her and she enjoyed it! She also mentioned that the food is good, they started their seamanship, they are picking their stations and that the girls are pulling together as a team. Looking forward to our phone call this week and graduation. See you all in 4 weeks.; October 18, 2009 at 9:39 PM

After reading Hotel 182 journal (which is very informative) it sounds like they don't get to call home until after they receive their orders which is at the end of week five. It also sounds like they can't call home until they earn their "liberty" which didn't come until week six for Hotel 182. Let's hope our coastie recruits in KILO 182 do it sooner. :); October 19, 2009 at 7:48 PM

I read some of the Juliet 182 blogs to see if I could tell when they made their calls last week. It sounded like they were made on Thursday & Friday according to some of the blogs posted on 10/15/09, 10/16/09 & 10/17/09.; October 19, 2009 at 9:13 PM

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.
