Battalion Update| SMaj. Hawley
Another week has flown by... The MRT unit is still on their trip to the north east, assisting a father/son camp and doing some recruiting at local churches and Cadet groups. They will be returning this weekend. The men in the Flight program will be taking their final test to receive their private pilot's license this week. Please pray that they would have good recollection of the material and a calmness on their check rides. The men in Dive will also continue their training with Jordan Harvell, a guest instructor from Miami. 
Basic Training Update| Capt. Boulden
Unit 58 finished up another successful week of training with the entire Unit completing the 12 hour hike. Thank you for all the prayer and support during this event. This coming week marks the Unit's halfway point into Basic Training. During this week the Unit will be camping across the lake from Monday through Thursday. They will be engaging in survival type training and scenarios throughout the course of the week, as well as taking their Solo Hike on Friday. Please be in prayer for the Unit that they would stay safe during this week and that they would learn to be content with what they are provided.
