Finally, I wanted to remind you all about a couple of alumni perks. No matter how hard we advertise the ALERT program, our alumni are hands down the most effective recruiters for ALERT. The majority of men in training each year are recruited in part by our alumni network. As a way to say thank you for sending guys our way, we have a $100 alumni referral bonus for the alumni who recruit each man who finishes Basic Training. If your name is on his application as the individual who influenced him to come, you'll get a $100 check from ALERT (unless multiple men are listed, in which case it is split between all the alumni). There is no limit to the number of referral bonuses you can get, so if you recruit hard enough, you could use the bonuses to pay for your next third phase.
Also, as alumni, you are eligible for a day of room and board free every year. Our goal with this is to help you out if you're passing through and need somewhere to crash, or make it easy if you'd like to come back and visit or show your family around. The free night of room and board isn't applicable on either end of a training quarter or around campus events like Family Camp or the ALERT Reunion, but the rest of the year you are welcome to stop in and say hi, and we'll cover housing for the night and a day of meals. You can contact the office with questions, or to reserve meals or housing under the alumni policy. Thank you all for your prayers and support as we forge men for the Kingdom! |
