DRILL
The monthly standard
Four blocks in one morning: PT, drill and ceremony, a Schoolhouse class, and packet work. Structured, on a standing schedule, run like the real thing. Drills count toward Drill Zero Certification.
SEC 05 / DRILLS
ONE DRILL A MONTH. SOMETHING EVERY WEEK.
One Saturday a month we hold a drill. Between drills we ruck, run, and get together. Every event is free and open. If you're thinking about the Guard, even a little, show up and see how it feels. Nobody here will pressure you to sign anything.
FREE FOR RECRUITS · VETERAN-BUILT · THE ANSWER MIGHT BE NO
RUCK
RUN
SCHOOLHOUSE
OUTING
Everything in between
One block, low key, all fitness levels. Rucks and runs, evening Schoolhouse classes, D&C clinics, and the occasional cookout. Every Schoolhouse night ends with open time: sit down with Cadre, work your Zero Packet, talk goals. Come once or come every time. No commitment.
PARENTS ARE WELCOME AT EVERY EVENT · AGES 14 TO 16 ATTEND WITH A PARENT OR GUARDIAN

SEC 08 / WHAT TO EXPECT AT A DRILL
No surprises. That's the point.
BLOCK 01
Fitness
PT scaled to where you are today. We record your baseline so you can watch it move, and so you know exactly where you stand against the standard before you sign.
BLOCK 02
Drill and ceremony
How to stand, move, and sound off in a formation. It's the muscle memory that makes day one of basic feel familiar instead of foreign.
BLOCK 03
Core knowledge
Schoolhouse blocks: rank structure, the phonetic alphabet, 24-hour time, and the regulations for your target MOS. Short classes, no fluff.
Can't make a Saturday yet. Start the paperwork side instead.
