This is why you will need a preparation guide and every advantage that you can acquire before entering the gates of Cape May NJ. I have written this book specifically to help prepare you for the most challenging aspects of basic training as a potential future recruit, along with helpful hints from myself and fellow Coasties. As a USCG Veteran, I will help to mentor you and pass down the knowledge that my shipmates and I never received prior to our training. No matter what has led you to join the CG, you should take basic training seriously. In my basic training experience, I watched helplessly as so many of my shipmates tapped out due to stress or were reverted due to the inability to endure the rigorous demands of our Company Commanders.

Download or read book US Coast Guard Training Center at Cape May written by Joseph E. Salvatore MD and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Coast Guard Training Center at Cape May tells the story of the Center from Navy Section Base 9 to the only recruit training center in the US. Commissioned as Navy Section Base 9 in 1917, the US Coast Guard Training Center at Cape May stands on the site of a former amusement park that bordered the Atlantic Ocean a few miles east of Cape May in southern New Jersey. Dirigibles, submarines, and minesweepers were based here during World War I. Because of its proximity to the ocean and Delaware Bay, the base was used by Coast Guard patrol boats and cutters to chase rumrunners during Prohibition in the 1920s. An airfield was established adjacent to the base in 1926, and in 1940, both combined to become Naval Air Station Cape May. The station protected the coast line from German U-boats during World War II. The Coast Guard took over the facility in 1946, and in 1948, the base became the only recruit training center in the country, today graduating more than 4,000 recruits per year.
