Basic Training Update | Maj. Hawley
Five days and counting! The days often feel long but the weeks seem to fly bye here in Basic Training! The Basic Responder Challenge ended very well last week with Team Bunyan winning at the end of the three days. This week will mostly consist of the Unit's preparation for their Advancement Day on Friday.

Thank you for all the prayers and support during these 9 weeks of training for Unit 75. They have been very much appreciated.
