Inside U.S. Coast Guard Boot Camp

We took a trip to Cape May, New Jersey, to visit the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center where we had the opportunity to learn about the intense 8-week training program and gain an inside look at the life of Coast Guard recruits. As soon as we arrived, I was instantly thrown into the mix. From the moment I stepped onto the bus, I was introduced to the commanding officer, participated in training drills, toured the facilities, and took part in numerous other activities. I was truly impressed by the recruits' determination to succeed throughout boot camp. The commanding officer and company commanders pushed them to their limits, but for good reason. At graduation, I had the privilege of witnessing some of the most intelligent, strong, and proud young men and women, now ready to serve as active members of the United States Coast Guard.
