Please note that this event is specifically for young men interested in joining the ALERT program, along with their parents. If you are coming to show your support to a family member or friend in Basic Training, please register for the Advancement Ceremony.
Interested in the ALERT program? During ALERT Preview Day, you’re invited to join us for the Advancement Ceremony of our most recent Basic Training unit. Personally guided by a member of the ALERT battalion, families have the opportunity to ask them any questions about the ALERT program as they experience Advancement Day. Advanced Training officers are also available to answer any questions about course requirements, training aspects, and certifications.
To find out more about the ALERT program, please visit our ALERT Website or contact 2Lt. Samuel Winkler at 903-636-9227.
