Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
Missions will be gone for a training exercise in the mountains of Arkansas Tuesday through Thursday. Sergeant Major is leading that trip, so please reach out to Captain Vanderford if you need to speak with someone regarding the Battalion. Construction will also be off-campus some this week for a hands-on learning opportunity. During the week of the Family Conference, the Battalion will be “deployed” to help support in roles ranging from tower to Operations to ALERT Cadet Challenge.
Basic Training Update | Capt. Hawley
One week down and 8 to go! Thank you to everyone who came out to support us last Monday. We appreciate your involvement! The men have adjusted well to life in Basic Training and successfully completed their first hike! This week they will advance in both their ropework and land navigation skills. Be in specific prayer for the men as we will be on our 3-Hour Hike this Wednesday. Just a friendly reminder to acknowledge our road barriers that are up. This is both for your safety and the safety of our men in training. Thank you again for all your prayers and support during this adventure.
