Nestled in the scenic farmland hills of Northern California is the future of the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard Training Center (TRACEN) Petaluma is much more than the sum of its schools. It's a small town whose residents share a commitment to mission, respect, innovation, and a focus on personal development.
Our graduates are the proud new Chiefs, cooks, medics, storekeepers, yeomen, as well as information technology, electronics, and operations specialists of the U. S. Coast Guard. We offer them the latest equipment and training technology in a peaceful yet professional setting. We have grown to meet real Coast Guard needs, and are poised to expand further with impressive new facilities and enthusiasm. Welcome aboard!
The TRACEN was formerly an Army Communications Station in WWII where secret codes were deciphered. The base has a great history of military service from 1942 to today.

Coast Guard Training Center Cape May is the home of the Coast Guard's enlisted corps -- it is our nation's only Coast Guard enlisted accession point and recruit training center. More than 4,000 of America's finest young men and women arrive for the first chapter of their Coast Guard career - bootcamp. Our mission is to transform America's civilian volunteers into military members of the United Stated Coast Guard. At Training Center Cape May, we are guided by the Coast Guard's core values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty. Through the Guardian Ethos, we live by the watch words of
commitment, courage and character; a commitment to a continual improvement, displaying extraordinary courage to serve, and the highest traits of character.
In addition to "boot camp," we host four other training programs. These include Recruiter School, Company Commander School, Reserve Enlisted Basic Indoctrination, and the Prior Service Training Program. We also serve as a support center, providing services to 14 tenant/collocated units including a Department of Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic located onboard the Training Center.
