Battalion Update
The first quarter of ALERT training is quickly coming to a close. It has gone by fast, but we were blessed with a very solid group of leadership for this quarter and things have gone very well. We have 29 guys signed up for advanced training for the second quarter, not including cadre. L&C is on deployment for the first 3 days of this week, assisting Samaritan’s Purse in wrapping up a rebuild project in Pearland, TX. Second phase will be doing several different things this week including CPR certification, conclusion of apologetics class, final scenarios, and a challenging, team-based event affectionately known as “the Gauntlet.” We are planning on deploying a team to TN to assist in tornado recovery once next quarter is under way.

Basic Training: Cadre training is off and running! With 15 men in Cadre, things are shaping up to be a great Basic. Please pray for the Leadership of Unit 63 as these men prepare themselves for the adventure ahead.
Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
Year from now, after this event is long over, what should we remember about it? A week from now, when the crisis hits, what should we remember about this meeting? Tomorrow, when the day gets busy, what would you like me to remember about the discussion we just had? Begin with the end in mind.
