Shipmates, keep an eye out for comercials/teasers on ESPN2s show First Take. The teasers are leading up to the epsisode that will be filmed here at the Training Center for Veterans Day on November 11.

Just a reminder, the show airs live at 1000. If you get a chance check it out. It also air again at 1200.

Great show it was. All the Boot Coasties looked great!!! It's great seeing the CG get more attention. Well done to all.

Did I see the recruits jousting with pugil sticks? And an obstacle course? When did that start?

From my understanding they have been doing both for quite some time.

Yes... It's been going on for a while now. I don't recall how long, but it certainly isn't anything new.

The Coast Guard is in good hands... All we gotta do is make sure we continue the work in the field that Cape May starts.

I WENT THROUGH BC LAST SEPTEMBER AND GRADUATED OCT 24TH WE WERE THE FIRST COMPANY TO DO PUGIL STICK FIGHTING AND WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE FIRST COMPANY TO DO THE OBSTACLE COURSE BUT THE CONTRACTERS DIDNT FINISH IT IN TIME!

Fireman87,

Who are you YELLING AT? I'm standing right here.

He's just super excited to tell his story!

Sorry shipmates caps lock was on. And it was a frustraion point with the obstacle course not being done in time.

I went to bootcamp Oct 28, 2008... and the first company to do the obstacle course was the company directly after ours! I was frustrated. Also, I don't remember doing the pugil sticks... but chances are I was away from the company doing my own thing while they did that. Haha.
