| Battalion Update | Maj. Boulden The ALERT Battalion has been staying busy these first two weeks of training and they are once again looking towards another great week of training. Please continue to be in prayer for all the men in training for wisdom and safety as they are forged for the kingdom.
ERT: The 2nd phase of ALERT men had a great first week of deployment and diving in Florida. Half of the group has been working along side Samaritans Purse doing hurricane clean up, and the other half have been getting their Open Water and Advanced Open Water Dive Certifications. The two groups will trade places this week to continue either training or service.
MRT: The Mobile Response Team has been working along side the 2nd phase guys on deployment in FL and will continue to do so for the next two weeks.
EMT: The EMT's have had a rotation of guest instructions this past week and will continue to do so as they work through all the classroom portion of their training in preparation for clinicals.
LRD: The Leadership Class is going though their Public Speaking Training with Joshua Boulden from MO as their chief instructor.
