In March 2013, new Coast Guard recruits learn from Capt.
G. Todd Prestidge, the commanding officer of the
service's only enlisted basic training facility, Cape
May (NJ) ... about what it takes to successfully
complete the eight-week program. Training scenes are
also shown during Capt. Prestidge's address.
The average Coast Guard recruit
company will lose more than 30 percent of its recruits
to reversions, reprisals and washouts over the course
the eight-week training program.
