Battalion Update | Capt. Winkler
It is a very busy week this week in the Battalion! Missions is on their way home from Malawi; they are currently in Tanzania on their first layover. Please continue to pray for their safe travels home. They should be back on campus late tomorrow. The EMTs are continuing with clinicals this week in Longview. Construction is in Florida on deployment this week; they are due back early next week. The flight students are planning to take their written test this week as they continue working towards their private pilot checkrides.
Basic Training Update | Maj. Hawley
This past weekend, Unit 74 successfully passed their Saturday Inspection!

This coming week, the men will be participating in both their Solo Hike and the Basic Responder Challenge from Wednesday through Saturday. During these events, they will be tested in nearly every area of training they have received thus far.

Please pray that the men will continue to push themselves all the way through the end of Basic Training and remain receptive to the lessons they still have yet to learn. Also, please be in prayer for those who have not yet completed their required Scripture memorization or passed their physical training test, that they would have both the desire and discipline to put in the necessary work to finish strong.
