WHY WE DO IT

"The world is chaotic and unpredictable, and life favors the prepared in mind, body and spirit." -adapted from Mark Divine. A prepared individual is disciplined, resilient, adaptable and ready to tackle whatever life throws at them. We believe in people, we value people, and we see their potential. Leadership is best shown by example, and the best leaders take control of their mental, physical and emotional health and warrior spirit. We can't control the length of our life, but we can control it's depth and width.
