Battalion Update | Capt. Winkler
The Battalion is starting into week 4 of training. Due to the potential measles exposure we cancelled EMT’s deployment for this week and are hoping to reschedule it later in the quarter. Tech Rescue returned from their deployment to Oklahoma on Friday and are back to training this week. Please pray for health in the Battalion as we look at the potential for increased sickness this quarter.
Basic Training Update | Maj. Hawley
One week down, eight to go! A big thank you to everyone who joined us on Monday evening for the official start of Unit 72—your support is greatly appreciated! The men are adjusting to life in Basic Training, and starting to learn the basics of ropework. Please keep them in your prayers as we begin our first hikes this week, starting with the Micro Hike on Monday and the 3-Hour Hike on Friday.

As a reminder, please respect the road barriers in place for everyone’s safety, including the recruits. Thank you again for your continued prayers and support throughout this adventure.
