Btw good luck to you as well anthony!!! Best of luck to your whole company too!

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to remember that when we're there.
Just about 8 weeks left until our 8 weeks begin!

Hey guys.. Looks like you can add another to the Company!! Im from Port Saint Lucie FL, but im shipping out of Miami FL!!! Looking forward to being apart of the TEAM!! Ive been running, push ups, flutter kicks, and swimming for some time now.. Its ganna be a goood timeee!!

Hi guys, Im Gina from a small town in Indiana. I will be shipping out a week after you guys shipped out. My shipped out date is March 27. Goodluck to all of you and I will see you all there! Im so excited. Been working out everyday and reviewing the Helmsman. On a Countdown now. Goodluck to all of us! We will make it!

My son Alex is shipping on the 20th.  I won't say much as I'm probably embarressing him just by posting this  I'll see if I can get him to join on here....seems like knowing some folks in advance would be cool.

Best of luck to all of you regardless!!

Hi M!  This is Alex's new group!!

Hi Anthony!  My son is shipping in this group, it was cool of you to message all of them.  Just out of curiosity who was your Recruiter? Our was Smith and he's awesome!

7 weeks left!!! Counting down and working out! Im looking forward to it all!!

Nice to see we have a few more shippers!!! Alex, Gina, and our FL shipper... for a while we thought our company was looking a little on the small size so its good to see more finding the forum and posting up! 49 days left to go now. Hope everyone is staying healthy and doing good on there workouts and required knowledge.

Just a quick random question. How much of the stuff we are allowed to bring is everyone actually bringing with you? Thinking I want to pack on the light side.

Very rude of me not to introduce myself.. My name is Ivan from FL!

I think im going to max out on the Vnecks, trousers, and socks.. those HAVE to be nice and clean lol.. everything else i can live without

Does everyone know what they want to do within the CG?

Im going in as a Reservist, wish it was AD, but because of my 2 children, im maxed out on dependants.. Ive chosen the rate of IS.. ill be working with the Miami Unit which is going to be sweettt.. I look forward to all the tranining and then bringing those skills to the civilian world!

Any speculation on what Company we will be?

Im shipping March 20th too Coming from Florida

I believe we will be November 186 iking3i as long as there aren't any skipped weeks!

Hey Katie! Great to have another shipper. How's preparing for basic going?
How'd you get our company too?

My girlfriends name is katie too. She can't wait to go back down to Florida lol mainly for disney tho

Ha preparing is coming along okay! Been trying to find the time! I'm a ranch hand so its been rough. I'm trying to get my running a little better and stopping smoking! How's yours coming?
I asked on here and somebody was nice enough to help out about company names. The way they explained it was every Tuesday represents a letter of the alphabet, yesterday would have be H or Hotel, so you just go down the calendar. Its not guaranteed until we get closer because there may be skipped weeks we are unaware of.

Awesome! I love Florida!! The heat can be a little rough at times during the summer but i don't mind it too bad. I live in between Orlando and Tampa. Takes about 45 minutes to get to either place. So I'm never too far from the beach or parks

I feel so proud I have to tell you!.. Everyone I tell, they are so enthusastic about my chioce of service and my ability to have been selected. The unit im going to work with Southcom is also going to play such a huge role in my future.. Working with High Ranking Leadership in Military and Federal Sectors. Network and work my way up my Federal career..

Any word on having a FB page for our company yet?

Yea getting the clearance and scores for IS is definitely something to be proud of. Everyone has a rate that works for them. Personally I don't think IS would do much good for me. I'm a gearhead and I'd rather be working along side mechanics as an MK. Good luck with it and enjoy the weather once you get there! But before then I'll see ya in basic.

Woo! Another female. I thought I was the only one for a while.

I think we might actually be 'Mike 186' since there doesn't seem to be a ship date thread up for Feb 21st. We'll find out soon enough. To find our company FB page just type "USCG Mike (or November?) 186" in the search box and it should come up.

I know I was getting worried there for a second!! :p

Company Mike 186!!!!! Loud and proud!!

Facebook it and join!!

Definitely not a historian, but I do like to stay organized!

Getting close now! Thanks for the link too. Has anyone quit their job yet? My last day is the 9th. Btw since I'm just meeting y'all at the air port did they tell you guys/girls any of your flight info yet or is that just something they tell you the night before?

So close! I'm done with my internship this Thursday! Working another job this weekend (for the Army actually lol) then it's two weeks of fun and freedom before we report! I have no info about flights and all that, but I'll be flying with two others from my office. See you all in Philly!

OH! I work at a printing company and made some beautiful postcards to write home with, if anyone wants any while we're there!
