Dates For Basic/ Extreme 2010/ Details included.

Gentlemen,
Here are the dates and info for Basic:
Oct 4-8

This year Challenge Basic will be held at Fort Benning Georgia. We have an exciting program planned that will focus you on being the leader God wants you to be. Opportunities you will receive at Basic include:

Rappelling conducted by the Warrior Training Center
Land Navigation on the 4th Ranger Battalions NAV course
Firearms instruction from the Army Marksmanship Unit
Run the Army Ranger Confidence and Obstacle courses at the Warrior Training Center
Learn the Challenge Values: Duty, Courage, Humility, Strength, Godly, Faithful, Teamwork, Discipleship, Sacrifice, Leadership

In todays world, we need men capable of leading confidently under pressure and stress. Challenge Basic helps teach you the skills you need to execute and complete your daily missions.

Come join us as at Fort Benning Georgia, home of the Infantry, Airborne and Army Rangers and learn skills you need to impact your world for Christ! “...that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.” Philippians 1: 27

And for Extreme:

Oct 13-18

After completing Basic, continue your Challenge experience by attending Extreme. Challenge Extreme will be conducted this year in the jungle and swamp of an undisclosed U.S. Military Base. The emphasis during Extreme is to continue the development of the Specialist leadership reaction skills. You must be capable of operating effectively under conditions of extreme mental and physical stress. Challenge Extreme makes this happen through practical exercises in Task- Force level operations in a jungle/swamp environment.
As a Specialist at Extreme you will learn:

  • Small boat operations
  • Expedient stream crossings
  • Three gun Action Shooting
  • Skills needed to survive and operate in a jungle/swamp environment.

You will also learn how to lead your team to execute and complete missions in a real-life scenario taken from todays headlines.

Our world needs the self-sacrificing leadership you receive at Extreme.
Come join your brothers in Christ and receive practical training that will prepare you for wherever God may send you!

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” I Timothy 6:12 “ And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. “ II Timothy 2:2

**ROOM AND BOARD BETWEEN BASIC AND EXTREME**

There will be a place and food provided for the specialists staying in between Basic and Extreme. It will be optional and not mandatory. Let Executive Officer Joseph Schalchlin know that you will be needing this by contacting him at tpchallenge@gmail.com . There will be an extra $95 charge for this to cover the costs, so bring your money with you.

That's About it,

And so in the undying words of Challenge Specialist Stephen Boyd, "Press On"

  1. Officer Phillips:
    Credit where credit is due, "Press On", was a favorite exhortation of Stonewall Jackson.
    Also, I hope to obtain the rank of Specialist this coming year, but I have not attended Extreme yet.

    Thanks

  2. After you attend Basic you are a Specialist. Correct me if I am wrong Mr. Stansbury. Extreme is an Awesome Ride. I know from experience.

  3. I was going to say - that quote belongs to Stonewall, not Stephen. But Stephen uses it well!
