“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

There’s nothing like the bond formed in an ALERT unit. 🦅
Whether it was years ago or the last Unit, that brotherhood never fades, and we’re seeing it firsthand at the ALERT Reunion happening right now!
Tag your unit mates below and let’s see which unit has the most alumni active on the gram! 🏆
Precision. Safety. Strength. 🧗♂️⚙️
From checking your knots and anchors to mastering the descent, there is no room for shortcuts. Our latest training session pushed the guys to refine their technical skills under pressure, ensuring they don’t just know how to do it, but that they can execute perfectly every single time.
The transformation is real. Just ask Luke Shihadeh. 🛡️
From Unit 48 to the cockpit in Alaska, Luke’s story is a testament to what happens when you trade “searching” for “serving.”
Leadership isn’t an option; it’s an inevitability. 🛡️
Every man will eventually be called to lead—whether it’s a household, a business, or simply himself. The question isn’t if you will lead, but how you will lead when that moment arrives.
Are you preparing for the weight of that responsibility today?
From the classroom to the top of the tower, it’s been a week of intense rope rescue training here at the ALERT Academy! 🛠️
Whether it’s mastering rappelling, perfecting mechanical systems, or learning how to safely transport someone to safety, these men are being pushed to their limits—physically and spiritually.
As one student put it: “It’s like drinking from a fire hydrant.” The pace is fast, the skills are vital, and the growth is undeniable.
Rise up, O men of God. ⚔️
In a world that settles for less, we are called to give our heart, soul, mind, and strength to a higher purpose. It’s time to stop waiting and start building. The Church needs men who are ready for the task.
Are you ready to answer the call?
You see the bond. You see the growth. Now, do you see yourself here? 🧐
Second Phase is where the transformation from Student to Leader becomes reality. Don’t just watch from the sidelines—join the ranks of men who are training for something greater than themselves.

The Good News isn’t about boosting our ego—it’s about humbling our hearts. 🕊️
In Isaiah 6, the presence of God didn’t tell Isaiah how great he was; it showed him how much he needed a Savior. True freedom comes when we stop focusing on ourselves and start focusing on God’s plan.
Jesus didn’t die to increase our self-esteem. He died to redeem us and bring glory to the Father. 🙌
Skills that serve. 🫡
Chilor Thomas sharing how his time at ALERT prepared him for domestic disaster relief with Samaritan’s Purse. From high-angle rescues to a servant’s heart—this is what we train for.

Welcome to Battalion.
Where men are pushed, sharpened, and surrounded by brothers who won’t let them quit.
This is how the quarter starts. 💪
