ALERT COVID Protocols | Col. Behr
Linked are protocols put in place for our IAA staff and battalion in training. Please read them carefully. The protocols are necessary to help us do whatever is reasonable to protect the men in training and thus assist us in mitigating the transmission of the virus. We fully understand no guidelines or policies can fully address the concerns and result in 100% protection but anything we can do as an overall organization on this campus in the areas of distancing and guarding unnecessary contact are not for loss.

We certainly continue to face challenges ahead as we make preparations for Basic in the fall. We covet your prayers and support that God would continue to put a hedge of protection around our training.

Thank you in advance for your full support. We regularly monitor the COVID-19 situation and if changes can be safely made we will keep you informed. These protocols are in place until further notice.

Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
As we continue to pivot during these times of uncertainty and unfamiliarity our expectations can make all the difference in the world. The expectations we put onto the ministry, onto each other, and onto ourselves. 

We built expectations in our minds, and when they change or don’t unfold as we imagined, many of us haven’t built or exercised the emotional nimbleness to pivot.

Here’s some advice: going forward, don’t expect anything to be as you thought.
Expect everything to change, and when it doesn’t, you’ll be pleasantly delighted.

It’s a storm, so put on your best emotional gea

The Caleb Nelson Memorial Race will be held this Saturday, September 5th. We would love to have as many staff out as we can get to spectate and encourage the participants. The race is scheduled to start at 6:30 AM in front of the Dining Room. 2nd phase will be deploying tomorrow evening with Samaritan's Purse to DeRidder, LA for the last half of the week.
