Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
Missions arrived safely in Chiapas, Mexico, late Thursday night, and things are going very well there. God has provided a wonderful host family that is perfect for ALERT and also provided a great translator and trip leader. Aquatics is in the Pensacola area doing some off-site dive training for most of this week. The EMT students have their last clinical shifts Monday and Tuesday of this week, and then the class final on Wednesday. Construction will be working on the hangar project for much of the week, and the flight guys will be flying as much as they can this week. Please pray for the following:
  • Good weather for flying
  • Endurance and Christ-likeness for EMTs on clinicals
  • Safety and great training experiences for Aquatics
  • Continued great experiences for missions
  • Productivity for Construction
  • Spiritual growth for each man in Battalion
Basic Training Update | Maj. Boulden
Five days and counting! The days are long, but the weeks are short in Basic Training. This week will mainly consist of the Unit's preparation for Advancement Day on Friday. Thank you for your prayers and support during these last eight weeks of training for Unit 68. They have been very much appreciated.
