Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
The Missions class will be leaving with Colonel Behr Thursday for a service project in the DFW area; they will be gone for ten days. EMTs are continuing through class as usual this week. There is a lot of information for them to take in, so please pray for good understanding. Aviation has two check rides that were rescheduled for this week. Please also continue to pray that God will work in the hearts of these men to make them more like Himself.
Basic Training Update | Maj. Boulden
All of the men for Unit 66 arrived safely for Basic Training last Thursday. After three days of In-Processing, the men will start their official training this evening at 6:30 in the gym. This is an open event so please feel free to come out and support the new unit. The rest of the week will be spent moving in, learning all of the rules and regulations, and starting their baseline classes on navigation and rope skills. Please be in prayer for us and the men under our care.
Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
I desire a culture of authenticity and vulnerability. First for our staff and then for our students. "So what are the key ingredients to creating an environment where we can vulnerably share our authentic stories and effectively build an authentic community?

Trust: For us to permit others to enter the deepest and potentially darkest places of our lives, there must be an understood and acknowledged level of trust.

Active Listening: Building and maintaining a sense of community requires mentors and mentees to be present and attentive to each other and commit to distraction-free active listening.

Humility: Sharing is the first part, but if we want to learn and grow together, we must also learn to humbly hear and absorb feedback, especially in some of the most sensitive areas of our lives.

As a mentor, it starts with you. If you vulnerably and honestly share your story and you work to create an environment where these ingredients are present, an authentic community will follow." -Kevin Harris
