Required Hunters Briefing | CWO5 Overby
If you'd like to hunt during the 2025-2026 season on the IBLP/ALERT Academy campus, please join us for our hunters briefing, Thursday, September 25 at 6:30 PM in the Annex Conference Room. If you're not able to attend, please contact Chris Overby at (903) 720-0974 and we can try to make other arrangements. This meeting is required in order to be able to hunt on the campus. Please bring a valid hunting license and hunter's education certificate, if you're required to have one. We will be going over the Firearm and Hunting Rules for the campus and also have a briefing on important details specific to this hunting season. I look forward to seeing you there and we are looking forward to a productive, safe, and fun season!
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 73—your support is greatly appreciated! The men have adjusted well to life in Basic Training, along with learning the basics of ropework skills. 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 Monday, then advancing on to our 3-Hour Hike this 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!
