Battalion Update 
This week will be the battalion’s last “normal” one for this quarter. The Missions class will make a trip to Poland a week from today for 12 days. They will be assisting a non-profit that is working with Ukrainian refugees. They are scheduled to return Saturday the 28th, a week before the end of the quarter. That last week of the quarter will be full of activities preparing for graduation. EMT students have their last module test today, and this week will have two clinical days and will spend a bunch of time being tested on their skills. The flight students continue to work diligently toward their check-rides. Please pray for preparations for the mission trip and for significant spiritual growth during the final four weeks of the quarter.
Basic Training Update 
Thank you for praying for Unit 66 on their Endurance Hike. The men did exceptionally well, and the weather was much better than expected. We completed the 54 miles well under the 24-hour mark. This coming week of training is known as Navigational-Medical Week or Nav-Med week. Over the week, the men will be sent out on different scenarios to be tested on all of the skills they have learned throughout their time in Basic. Continue to pray that the men would stay safe throughout the week and that they would continue to hone their skills.
Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
With four weeks left in the semester, it can be easy to hunker down and just get to the end, forgetting that the work we do here is multi-faceted. Every part of what we do plays into the next. Here are three reminders as we strategize and plan for the end of the semester.

1. Contact. Keep frequent contact with your team. They are going to do the best with what you give them. If you don’t spend time with them, it is inevitable that they’re going to make decisions you’re uncomfortable with.

2. Communication. Your people need to understand the vision, mission, and desired outcomes. You need to verbalize your expectations. Over and over again.

3. ConnectionFor true alignment to take place, your people have to know and trust your heart. You can buy their presence by employing them—but you can’t buy their heart. You must earn it. You can only create a connection when you open your heart and let them in. - Michael Hyatt
