US COAST GUARD RECRUIT TRAINING

description

Summary

Cape May, NJ (May 10)--Running in formation is one of the most challenging parts of "boot camp" for those who are yet to be conditioned. Recruit Training, otherwise known as "boot camp" is tough, both mentally and physically! Its purpose is to prepare recuits for life in the Coast Guard. Much of the training will take place in a classroom where recuits learn valuable skills such as first aid, fire fighting, weapons handling, practical seamanship, and general Coast Guard knowledge. They have daily physical fitness classes and spend time at the pool learning water survival techniques.New recruits meet their Company Commander (CC), on the first Friday of training. The CC has the responsibility to make a hard-working, efficient team out of 50 or 60 strangers. The CC will teach recuits military drills, which includes marching, handling the 9mm pistol, and showing them the "ropes" of U.S. Coast Guard life. USCG photo by PAC TOM GILLESPIE
