Basic Training Update | Maj. Hawley
One week down and 8 to go! Thank you to everyone who came out to support us this last Monday evening for the official start of Unit 75. It was very much appreciated! The men have adjusted well to life in Basic Training along with learning the basics in their ropework skills and land Navigation. 

Be in specific prayer for the men as the Unit will be starting their first hikes this week. We will be doing our Micro Hike on Tuesday, then advancing on to our 3-Hour Hike this Friday. 

Just a friendly reminder to acknowledge our road barriers that are up. This is both for your safety and the safety of our men in training. 

Thank you again for all your prayers and support during this adventure.
