Update on Boots to Boots veteran participants

We ran another practice physical agility recently, and our veteran participants did fantastic. These practice agilities are a great experience for all involved.

We would also like to wish all the best to two Boots to Boots vets who are currently in the Vancouver Fire Department training academy!

At this time of year…

Many veterans are actively being mentored in the Boots to Boots program. We just ran six vets through a Vancouver Fire Department practice physical agility last Saturday – a great orientation to one of the steps in the testing process.
