“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

If I could do it all over again... ⏳

If you’re ready to stop wondering “what if” and start building a foundation you’ll never regret, now is the time.

POV: You’re an ALERT man but your only Valentine is a compass heading.
At ALERT, we’re not just forging men who are physically capable; we’re forging men whose hearts are postured correctly before their Creator.
The “fear of God” isn’t about being afraid—it’s about the appropriate weight and honor we give to the one who is all-gracious and all-powerful. 🦅
Are you graduating high school only to feel like you’re drifting? 🌊
The world tells you to “take it easy,” but you were built for more. You’re looking for a challenge that tests your grit, sharpens your mind, and anchors your faith.
At ALERT Academy, we don’t do “average.” We forge extraordinary men through:
Physical Discipline: Strength that lasts.
Clear Direction: Finding your God-given purpose.
Real Impact: Learning to lead and influence your world for Christ. 🛡️
⏳ THE CLOCK IS TICKING

In 1994, on a cold night in February, 28 men set out to officially form Unit 1, and the International ALERT Academy was born.
Today, we celebrate our 32nd Anniversary. 32 years of God`s faithfulness. 32 years of training and serving all over the world. 32 years and 2,902 men "forged" for the Kingdom. For that and so much more, we are grateful.
Reaching the world, one man at a time. 🌎🙏
At ALERT Academy, we’re not just training for ourselves. From evangelism workshops to learning how to share a personal testimony, our men are equipping themselves to fulfill the Great Commission.
If you aren’t uncomfortable, you aren’t growing.
The men that came to ALERT Academy are dedicated to growth even after graduating from the Academy. Here are just a few highlights from a weekend of sweat, mud, and hard work at the ALERT 2026 Reunion. 🦅

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.”
