Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
The first week of this second quarter went very well. Each unit is settling into their routines, getting oriented to training, and building a good foundation for the coming 11 weeks. I'm encouraged to see in the men a desire to know Christ more and to grow in Him, and I pray that God will do great work in their hearts and lives this quarter. Please join me in prayer for this and wisdom for the leadership team and the instructors as we work together to provide the men with good training and mentorship.
Basic Training Update | Maj. Boulden
Four days and counting! The Cadre has been training hard and is actively preparing for the arrival of the men for Unit 68. This Thursday, the new Unit will begin its journey to becoming ALERT men. The Unit will spend three days in In-Processing, preparing them for the challenge ahead, and then be integrated into Basic Training Monday, March 27, at 6:30 pm. Please pray for us as we continue to prepare for the adventure of Basic Training.
