SEC 04 / WHERE WE ARE
WE'RE BUILDING IN THE OPEN.
Here's where Drill Zero stands today, what's already moving, and what's ahead. The South Carolina entity is formed, the federal application is submitted, and we're standing up the formation while the IRS does its part. You don't have to wait to get started. Come ruck with us.
-
Founded by veterans
Drill Zero was started by veterans who have been through the pipeline themselves. Built by veterans.
-
Mission and brand set
The program, the vocabulary, and the identity are locked.
-
Incorporated in South Carolina
Drill Zero, Inc. is a formed South Carolina nonprofit entity. The paperwork is real and filed.
-
Federal application submitted
Our federal 501(c)(3) application is in the IRS's hands. Until the determination letter arrives, we operate self-funded and don't claim tax-deductible status.
-
Standing up the formation
We're meeting as a group, organizing the first rucks and runs around Greenville and the Upstate, and stacking the pieces. Self-funded, on purpose. Show up, no cost, all fitness levels.
-
Building the Platform
The Drill Zero app: the Schoolhouse, the packet builder, and the schedule, in your pocket. Building now.
-
First formal drills
Fitness, drill and ceremony, and core knowledge, on a standing schedule.
-
The Zero Packet, live
Recruits start building the file they carry into the recruiter's office.
-
Drill Zero Certification
The fitness and knowledge standard that proves a Recruit walked in prepared.
-
The Baseline begins
The first After Action Reports come in from Graduates, and the honest data starts: the beginning of the recruit-reported record and the MOS study guides it builds.
-
The Watch stands up
The family network goes live for those who ship and deploy.
SEC 08 / HOW THIS IS FUNDED
Self-funded. On purpose.
NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS AT THIS TIME
Right now, the founders fund Drill Zero. We are not accepting donations, and we won't until the IRS determination letter arrives and every gift can come with a proper tax-deductible receipt. Taking your money before we can do that right is not how this organization starts.
When giving opens, the people on the Advance Party list hear it first. Get on the list.
You don't have to wait for any of it.
