“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
Putting in the work: fire drill scenarios.
From arriving on the scene to the interior attack, every drill is critical. We simulate the chaos so we can master the control. This is where we earn the right to run toward the fire.
This isn’t just about a haircut or a uniform;
it’s about the mindset change that happens at ALERT Basic Training. We saw the potential, and the training brought it out. Proud of these transformations.
The Fear of God is not about terror—it’s about reverence.
The Bible says, “With you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.” Why? Because God’s mercy is so great, it should lead us to properly respect and stand in awe of Him. It’s God’s choice of mercy that should lead us to fear Him.
When we truly understand His love and forgiveness, we tremble before the God who made us.
Why stop at Basic? Many think basic training is the whole challenge, but that’s only 30% of the full ALERT experience.
At ALERT Academy, you don’t just train—you transform. This 9-month program offers a massive opportunity for:
📈 Personal Growth: Push your limits and discover what you’re truly capable of.
🧠 Invaluable Learning: Acquire skills that last a lifetime.
💪 Deep Maturity: Forge yourself into a disciplined, capable man.
Don’t miss the opportunity to gain so much more by graduating from the full program. It’s an investment in your future!

⚔️ Leadership: Prepare Now, Lead Later.
Every man will lead one day—whether it’s his family, a team, or a company. At ALERT Academy, we believe the best time to learn leadership is before you’re in charge!
Our condensed 9-week Leadership and Communications course focuses on two vital areas: Personal Leadership (mastering self-management, time, and personality dynamics) and Communication (through public speaking and writing). We are forging extraordinary men into future leaders who can communicate their ideas and change the world.
