Welcome friends and family of Victor 183! We are currently in week 03 of training, and we're all starting to learn what the meaning of teamwork really is. Take the word team. A team is a group of people coming together for a certain cause. Work is performing duties to meet a certain objective. In order to meet this objective, it requires a team of people; strong people, Coast Guard people. We're finding ourselves changing day by day for the better throughout this boot camp experience. Our physical strength is progressing, as is our confidence. Don't get it wrong though; things have been tough. We are just taking it day by day and giving it our best. Ultimately, that is all we can do. We are all learning to come together and are becoming more like a family, rather than the acquaintances we used to be on the bus ride into Cape May. We're figuring out how to use each of our unique skills for the team and that is what this is all really about. We, the recruits of Victor-183, are a group of diverse people from all over the world with very different backgrounds. There is one thing we do have in common, and that is our dream of a future in the United States Coast Guard.
