“Every day at ALERT, I learn to depend on Christ more. I’ve learned there is always room to grow, that I don’t have all the answers, and most importantly, that it is my walk with Him that really matters.”
Kenjie S. | Unit 66
“Before I came to the ALERT program, my life was without direction and purpose. I would spend my time working dead-end jobs and playing video games, and occasionally participating in outdoor activities if invited. After going through Basic training, I saw a glimpse of what I could be if I wanted to change. Over my time at ALERT, I have seen God’s grace to me as my faith and reliance on Him grew. I can say for certain that ALERT has changed my life for the better in terms of leadership, discipline, physical strength, and so much more. I will forever be grateful to this program and the men in it.”
Joshua L. | Unit 64
“The unique tensions and challenges that I faced here forced me to rely on God and get out of my comfort zone. It taught me to behave with conviction, think with clarity, and speak with authority. ALERT gave me a valuable perspective about life, God, and people that I never had before.”
Len N. | Unit 61
Forging
Every man remembers the moment he stepped forward.
The moment he chose challenge over comfort. Growth over ease. Discipline over distraction.
For Unit 74, that moment is now. Nine weeks starting March 26 that will shape your habits, your mindset, and your future. This is where boys become men of purpose.
Registration closes March 20. Your story is waiting.

Phase 2 does something to you.
It`s not just physical. It`s not just mental. It grows you in every direction, and the guys who come out the other side will tell you the biggest change happened in their spiritual walk.
You stop just focusing on yourself. You start becoming the kind of man who encourages the people around him, leads by example, and pushes others to be better just by showing up.
The camaraderie alone is unlike anything else. But the growth? That`s what stays with you.
If you`re a young man ready to stop coasting and start becoming, Phase 2 is where it happens. Link in bio.

Brian has it. Thousands of alumni have it. You could too.
ALERT builds the kind of confidence that only comes from doing hard things. Leadership skills, mental toughness, a faith that holds up under pressure.
Brian Cahill went through ALERT in Unit 16. Now he`s leading in business and raising his kids with the same standard.
If you`re a young man who wants to grow into a real leader, not just in theory but in real life, this is for you.

Are you content with where you`re at? Or do you want more?
Most guys come into Basic Training seeking something — growth, purpose, a clearer picture of who they`re supposed to be.
Nine weeks later, something shifts. The disciplines, the training, the standard — it all starts to paint a picture of what a godly man actually looks like. And for the first time, it feels attainable.
That`s what ALERT does.

Years later, the lessons still stick. Evan looks back on his time at ALERT — the woods, the outdoors, the kind of training you can`t get in a classroom — and what it meant for the man he`s become.

Most men aren’t born leaders. But they can be forged into one.
These guys didn’t come to ALERT just to get through Basic Training — they came to grow. To learn how to lead, how to communicate, and how to show up for the people around them.
You want to become a leader? Forged into a man who can carry the weight of responsibility in a world where boys run away from it? You want to stand out and rise to the occasion?

“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” – C.S. Lewis

Spencer Wolf | Unit 20
Spencer came to ALERT drawn to the challenge — and left with something he didn’t even expect: brothers he still calls friends to this day.
That’s what this place does. It forges men, and it forges bonds.
Thanks to Spencer for sitting down and sharing his story.
