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 nonprofit is incorporated, the federal 501(c)(3) application is being prepared, and we're standing up the formation in the meantime. 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 filed as a South Carolina nonprofit corporation with the Secretary of State. The paperwork is real and in.
-
Applying for federal 501(c)(3)
We're preparing our federal 501(c)(3) application and filing it shortly. 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 who told us they want to help hear it first. Tell us you're interested.
You don't have to wait for any of it.
