“The light goes green. Rangers start shuffling out the door as quickly as possible in their much-encumbered state. As we begin lumbering toward the open door, pulling our static lines along the overhead cable, the C-130 starts banking sharply left, then right. The pilots are taking evasive action to avoid anti-aircraft fire. Now I really want out of this plane. Everything around me begins to move in blurry slow motion, but my consciousness is razor sharp. My entire life is, for the moment, focused on this exact point in time. There is no past, no future, only present. The anxiety that I was feeling vanishes, leaving only white hot, focused purpose. Ten feet from the door, the light turns red, signaling the end of the drop zone. But there�s no way we�re not jumping now. I run for the door and step into blackness�”

The quote above is an excerpt from the prologue of my first book, titled “A More Elite Soldier,” which WAS RELEASED JULY 1. It details what life is like inside the Army’s elite 75th Ranger Regiment, at the same time making deep spiritual parallels between the life of a soldier and that of a Christian.

The June Extreme Weekend went off without a hitch, and we are busily making preparations for the next trip, coming up July 24-26. It’s looking like this trip will be pretty crowded, and there is a limit to the number of people that we can accomodate, so make your reservations quickly! The list for this trip will be filled on a first come, first served basis. You can sign up here on the website, by clicking on the button that says “Check Out” below, or you can email Chuck at for more information.

Click the “More” link below for additional information and a packing list.

The trip this year will include rappelling, climbing, caving, and an expanded “amazing race” style event. Those who attended the June trip are RAVING about this event! This will be the most exciting trip yet!

If you are interested in participating in the July trip, get your name on the list immediately and we’ll look forward to seeing you on the 24th! Make sure you get a signed permission form from your parent or legal guardian as well, or you won’t be able to go with us.

It is not a trip for the faint of heart, however. So make sure you are in good physical condition before you sign up! The trip’s costs have been cut substantially this year to $35. If you’d like to secure your place (pending receipt of parental permission slip) you can pay by clicking the paypal button below.
