PAPA-182 Journal 16NOV09 Papa-182 started off its day with the portside squad going to Goff Hall to complete its Marksmanship Course. Starboard side began its day at James Hall learning about the colors ceremony and also about commitment. They felt like that the course helped motivate us to sound off and actually act like a company. Portside on the other hand had many disciplinary problems in our classes today, which ended in some incentive training. Hopefully starboard side on the range tomorrow will learn from portsides mistakes and hopefully more recruits will qualify in the course. 17NOV09 Today half of the company continued its undisciplined behavior while the other half spent it time at the range showing that not all of Papa are a bunch of JACK FREAKS. The company had 03 recruits qualify Sharp Shooter. The company also got introduced to Coast Guard email accounts. The company needs its rest tonight because we have our Physical Fitness Test tomorrow. Generally the company is tired of the way it's been behaving and all are hoping that we learn to control ourselves. 18NOV09 Papa-182 began their day with a class on different types of ratings available for us to choose from. As we reach our half way point to graduation the idea of choosing our careers in the Coast Guard becomes more realistic. After afternoon chow we had our Physical Fitness Test. Overall everyone did very well. Afterwards we were introduced to the rope climbing portion of the Confidence Course, which we'll need to master by week 07. The company finished their day getting their squad bay squared away for an inspection. 19NOV09 Papa-182 started its day with their exam on helmsman and knot tying. The company did well as more than half the class got 100's. Later today we filled out our dream sheets of which we'll receive our orders sometime next week. Today we also began close order drill without shouting back our commands and our company is really starting to grasp marching together as a unit. Tomorrow we'll be taking our midterm exams and we spent the evening preparing for it. The company has high hopes we'll all do well. 20NOV09 Papa-182 began its day with midterms. Our company did very well on the exam that everyone passed and we received our first pennant. We also received our H1N1 vaccinations today. After the afternoon cow we participated in a Red Cross blood drive and received our second pennant because of the amount of participants involved. The males received their second haircut of training. Morale for the company is running high and our Company Commanders gave us time to perform our new evening routine of uniform and squad bay maintenance. The company is now the senior company in the building and we need to step it up and act like it. Junior companies will be looking up to us so we need to ensure we are squared away. 21NOV09 We began the day with cleaning our squad bays and getting everything squared away. Afterwards we went over to the gym and had our introduction to Pugil Sticks fighting. Today two more of our shipmates were reverted to Quebec Company. It helped our company realize to learn from our mistakes and that no one is safe. 22NOV09 The end of the week for the company and we began the day with our divine hours. We used the time to get our inspection ready uniforms squared away. We will be having an inspection tomorrow by the Battalion Commander, so it's imperative that our uniforms are immaculate. After chow we went with our Company Commanders on an off-base run through Cape May. We ran in step and shouted cadences back to our Company Commanders. It was uplifting to get off base and do something as a company. We ran hard and we ran with pride and we hope to take that enthusiasm with us into week 05. Following the run we had a mock inspection by our Company Commander Petty Officer Bailey and received corrections and tips. Hopefully the company can and will use the information wisely for tomorrows inspection. The company is also looking forward to tomorrows pugil sticks battles and we sizing each other up, checking the competition. |
