	TRACEN Cape May, N.J. U.S. Coast Guard

Echo 186 weekly journal Graduation 3/2/2012

This week the recruits of ECHO 186 have formed as a official company here at training center Cape May. We have moved into our new home here and are learning how to perform basic tasks such as eating and getting dressed while attracting as little wrath from our Company Commanders as is recruitly possible. This week has held many challenges such as rude awakenings to "Fire Fire Fire" drills at 0500 sharp and grueling incentive training drills. These tasks, though sometimes frustrating and painful, are imperative to this company becoming the efficient, well-oiled machine our Company Commanders expect it to be. Expectations like these are what it takes to become members of the Coast Guard, a goal we all signed up to achieve. It has not all been negative, however, and encouraging words from Cape May Chaplains and our Company Mentors have given us the strength to push on into the next week.
