“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

You are not young forever.
As a Christian man, you want to look back on life-changing meaningful but also hard, things. But most never actually commit and push themselves.
ALERT changes that. It’s a brotherhood where you are surrounded by men who push you to stop being selfish, stop caring what people think, and start walking right with God.
If you`re a young man who wants to use this season of your life for something that actually matters, link in bio.

The Caleb Nelson Memorial Race.
Petty Officer 1st Class Caleb Nelson was an ALERT alumnus, Unit 30, and a Navy SEAL who gave his life serving his country in Afghanistan in 2011.
Twice a year we lace up in his honor. 12 miles. A 3.8-mile run, a swim, 6.5 miles with a 40 lb pack, and a finish that means something.
This is how we remember the men who came before us.

The strongest men don’t walk alone.
Brotherhood isn’t built in a classroom or a church pew. It’s built in the hard moments, side by side with men who are after the same thing you are.
That’s what ALERT produces. Men who have been through something together. Who know what the other guy is made of because they saw it firsthand. The kind of friends you call in the middle of the night and they show up, no questions asked.
If you’re a young man who wants to grow in your faith, push your limits, and find the kind of brotherhood most men only dream about, this is where it starts.

If there`s a wall you keep running into. If you know there`s more potential in you that isn`t being used. If you`re tired of being comfortable and not growing.
If you feel like you could be doing more, you probably could. ALERT is for you.
Guys come in one way and leave another. Foundationally reshaped. A new outlook, a new standard, a new version of themselves that they didn`t even know was possible.
The changes that happen here are the ones you never saw coming.

Why don`t we fear God anymore?
It goes all the way back to the Garden. The Fall wasn`t just a bad decision. It was the most catastrophic event in human history. The moment man rejected God and tried to become his own god.
And we`ve been terrible at it ever since.
The things we pursue make terrible gods. Only God is God. ALERT exists to raise up men who actually believe that and live like it.

The hard days. The long days. The moments where everything in you wants to quit. That`s where the real growth happens.
ALERT has a way of showing you exactly where you stand.
For this Phase 2 grad, the biggest takeaway wasn`t just toughness. It was realizing how much he needs Christ, on the good days just as much as the difficult ones. And learning to be patient, work with others, and push through when it`s uncomfortable.
If you`re a young man who wants to grow, do it. Because if you never go through hardship, you won`t grow. It`s that simple.

Are you lying to yourself? If you`re a young man who says you`re a Christian but knows deep down you`re not really living it, this is for you.
ALERT has a way of calling you back. Sam came for Basic and told himself that was it. Then Second Phase. Then Third Phase. Construction. Leadership. EMT. Because when something actually changes you, you don`t walk away from it.
The memories stick. The growth sticks. The man you become sticks.
