Coast Guard Recruit Company Golf 187 weekly journal. Graduation November 9th, 2012
THIS WEEK HAS BEEN TOUGH FROM A FORMING COMPANY INTO GOLF-187. WE HAD THE HONOR TO BE IN CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY TO REMEMBER A HERO. DOUGLAS MUNRO. HE GAVE HIS LIFE IN 1942 FOR 500 MARINE SOLDIERS HE DIDN’T KNOW. WE HONORED HIS DEVOTION TO DUTY AND RESPECT WITH A CEREMONY. ALL COMPANIES, FROM GRADUATING COMPANY TO GOLF-187, ATTENDED THIS CEREMONY. MAY HE REST IN PEACE. AS WE HONOR HIM AND THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE WE HAVEN’T QUIT WORKING OUR BEHINDS OFF. WE DO THIS TO BECOME HEROS. WE’VE LEARNED THE MEANING OF “FIRE, FIRE, FIRE”. WHETHER IT’S AT 0530 OR AT THE END OF A CLASS, YOU HAVE 60 SECONDS OR LESS TO GET FROM WHERE YOU ARE OUTSIDE AND READY TO GET FIT. NOT THE FUNNEST! WE HAVE LAUGHED TO OURSELVES FROM “SHAVE!, SHAVE!, SHAVE!” AND “GEL!, GEL!, GEL!”. EVERYTIME THINGS AREN’T CORRECTED WE GET HOOKED UP! WE LEARN FROM THESE MISTAKES AND BECOME BETTER FROM THEM. WE HAVE FINALLY RECEIVED LETTERS AND HAVE SHED TEARS JUST READING THE ENVELOPE. WE HAVE STAYED STONG DUE TO YOUR MOTIVATION. WE HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM OUR COMPANY COMMANDERS. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO MARCHING IN GRADUATION. WE HAVE GOTTEN THE HANG OF “LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT!”. WE ARE SORE AND TIRED BUT WE LOOK SHARP WITH OUR UNIFORMS AND BOONDOCKERS. THE FOOD HERE IS DELICIOUS. MOST OF US HAVE EATEN PLENTY PB &J SANDWICHES EVERY MEAL! WE HAVE OUR SALAD BAR, POTATO BAR, SOUP, YOGURT, FRUITS ETC. AND IT’S ALL DELICIOUS. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO AT LEAST GET SOME TASTY FOOD; BECAUSE WE NEED THE STRENGTH TO PUSH, FLUTTER KICK, SQUAT, SWIM AND RUN. WE HAVE HAD OUR SWIM TEST WHICH WAS FUN. WE CAN’T SPILL ALL THE BEANS ON THE FUN WE ARE HAVING, BUT WE CAN TELL YOU “WE ARE GOLF-187!”! SEMPER PARATUS
