My name is Martin and I am the man behind SurviveCoastGuardBootCamp.com. I attended Coast Guard Basic Training in 2012, and although I loved the experience when it was all over, I have to say that there are some really difficult points during the actual process itself. I’ve prepared as much as I could from the information that was available to me at the time, but there were so many occasions when I found myself saying, “Man, I wish I had known this before sending out!”. Of course, these surprises were intentional. The people that design the boot camp curriculum does not want you to know everything because knowledge is equal to the confidence. If you have a recruit that shows all you know, it’s hard to break someone like that and apply artificial stress on them.
Here is where the Survival Guide was born!
In the trenches of Cape May. I said to myself that when I returned, I would like to make a giant “dump” of everything and put it together in a organized format to help future recruits – and I did exactly that.
Since that time, the Survival Guide has been the subject of 4 editions, with the latest version 01 OCT 17. Each time there are changes to the way things are being done in Cape May, I adjust the sections of the Survival Guide accordingly. The reality is that the vast majority of this material has not changed forever. They do adjust things here and there from time to time, but most of it is filled with military and nautical tradition that dates back to a very long time. There is not much that you can adjust to try to win the information arms race that has had to face since the evolution of the internet. My goal is to continue being the #1 resource of information for the USCG recruits outside of the recruiters and officers of the USCG personnel involved with the recruitment process. If you want to read more about my story, you can do so on the about me page. If you want to check what some of his future teammates have said about the Coast Guard Boot Camp Survival Guide, you can do so here.
