Let me just say that we are excited for everyone to be apart of this community. We are looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you when you come down for training camp. This is going to be an amazing journey for you and we are glad to prepare and equip you for these coming life experiences.

I have a few announcements that I want to make you aware of. First all, we have updated our Travel to Camp information. Now you can book your flights for training camp and your subsequent return flight. Make sure you read all of the information, especially the "Do not book a round trip" flight. This will save you a lot of frustration in the future.

Check out the due dates that are on the homepage. Your support coach will be reminding you of the dates, but it is nice to know what dates are coming up.

I created a Facebook group for everyone to join, if you wish. It's another place for you go and build community before you launch. Katie is on it as well. It is located here.

Lastly, be ready, I will be posting blogs every Tuesday and Thursday. They are going to be on a variety of different topics. The only thing I would like to ask of you is to be active. Comments are always accepted and greatly appreciated. I want to know what you are thinking and feeling, so it is completely fine to say "you don't have answer" or "you are unsure."

Have a great weekend. I will be following your comments and responding.
