CAPE MAY, N.J. - Trent Willmon and Jeff Bates, headliners for the Spirit of America Tour, work together to entertain the audience at Coast Guard Training Center Cape May Monday, Aug. 17, 2009.
The training center is the home of the Coast Guard's enlisted corps -- it is our nation's only Coast Guard enlisted accession point and recruit training center. More than 4,000 of America's finest young men and women arrive for the first chapter of their Coast Guard career - bootcamp. Our mission is to transform America's civilian volunteers into military members of the United Stated Coast Guard. We are guided by the Coast Guard's core values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty. Through the Guardian Ethos, we live by the watch words of commitment, courage and character; a commitment to a continual improvement, displaying extraordinary courage to serve, and the highest traits of character.
