Hello again to all! We've just begun week 04 here at Training Center, Cape May. Things are definitely a little more on the difficult side right now...we're progressing as a company but day after day more is expected of us and we're having a bit of an issue making ends meet. We've been doing a lot of practical training lately, which will help prepare us for what we're going to face when we leave here and make it out into the fleet. We also have our physical fitness tests coming up this Wednesday so for all you support systems we have back home, wish us luck! The last major task we have coming up this week is our Duty Station Dream Sheet which we fill out listing where we prefer to go after we finish our time here at boot camp...this is a HUGE deal for us, as the location we pick will potentially be the start of our Coast Guard careers. We knew when we each entered out recruiters doors that our journey to becoming a guardian was going to be a rough one, and we're all fighting hard to make it through. We're going to have our bad days just as we're going to have our good days. My only hope is that we find the strength together to dig down deep and put forth the effort needed to make it.
