Mike Bell Health Updates
Mike and Elaine Bell served faithfully at our Dallas Training Center for many years and he was recently diagnosed with ALS Lou Gehrig's Disease. Linked is his Caring Bridge Website with health updates. Thank you for your continued prayers. 
Phone System Adjustment | Computer Dept.
We have changed the ring of the analog phones that are at the homes and around the campus. The new ring is a solid ring for external calls, and a broken ring for internal (campus) calls. This change is to fix a problem we were experiencing. This does not affect the office digital phones.
Battalion Update
The Battalion's semester is officially over! The ALERT Staff will be working this week on cleaning up, debriefing, and planning for 2020. Starting in January, Sgt. Marcus Nafziger will be serving as the acting SMaj. over the Battalion. Capt. Vanderford will be the Battalion Commanding Officer.
Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
As we debrief over the past year, let's look for moments to have a "Deep Connection" with each other. When we are closely connected as staff, then our organization is healthy. When our organization is healthy, then our student body is healthy. When our student body is healthy we move that much closer in accomplishing our mission.
