A 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering cost-free programs for military and first responders at our premier 389-acre facility.
Putting the skills to the test. 🧭🥾
The last 48 hours have been an absolute grind focused some core pillars of military readiness: PT, Land Navigation, and Leadership. Here is a look at how our trainees stepped up this week:
• Earlier in the week, Maj Ketcherside and Cadet Lovera delivered a comprehensive Land Nav brief to lay down the foundational tactics.
• We were incredibly honored to host Commander Mitchell, who visited the class to share invaluable advice and mentorship with our trainees as they prepare to embark on their military careers.
• Today, it was time to leave the classroom behind. Trainees headed deep into the field to put their map-reading and navigation skills to the ultimate test.
At PTF, we are all about the grind and growth. We are constantly growing, reflecting on areas of improvement, and doing whatever it takes to help the team succeed. 🇺🇸

HUGE congratulations are in order to who received word today while at our training facility that he is being promoted to Commander in the United States Navy!
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Today was all about trust, technique, and teamwork at the PTF Obstacle Course. We pushed past mental and physical boundaries on The Weaver, Balance Beam, Walls, Horizontal Rope, and the Swing and Stop.
Learning proper rope climbing techniques from 2LT Maggie Pennington was a game-changer and reminded us that efficiency always outlasts brute force.
So proud of the team building that happened out here today. Every breakthrough was a win for the whole group! 🇺🇸

“Before you can lead, you must learn to follow. And once you leave, you must never forget to reach back.”
We had an incredible morning at PT! Several of our returning and graduating PTF Warriors stepped back onto the field to sweat alongside this year’s squad, bringing an undeniable wave of energy, wisdom, and leadership.
The journey doesn’t end when you graduate; it just evolves. Seeing our veteran Warriors pour back into the next generation is exactly what the Patriot Training Foundation brotherhood/sisterhood is all about.
Listen close to the advice they dropped today—it’s the fuel you need for the road ahead. 💪🦅

This Memorial Day, the Patriot Training Foundation pauses to remember and honor all the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their legacy is the very foundation of our mission.
Today, we hold a special place in our hearts for five members of our own PTF Circle whom we have lost:
🇺🇸 Lindsey
🇺🇸 Tom
🇺🇸 Sam
🇺🇸 Josh
🇺🇸 Roz
Pictured here is Roz’s memorial flag from (2021), bearing her dog tag and photograph. Before heading off to the U.S. Air Force Academy, Roz trained hard with us at PTF. She was a remarkable young lady whose character and gratitude left a lasting mark—after every single training day, she would send Keath a handwritten thank-you note.
We miss her, and we miss them all. Today, we don’t just remember their sacrifice; we remember who they were, the lives they lived, and the dedication they showed.
Join us in keeping their families in your thoughts today. Every day is Memorial Day for PTF and we look forward to honoring those who have fallen since 9/11/01 on Art Hill this September through

This weekend we had the distinct honor to attend the 2026 USMA West Point graduation and commissioning that included three of our PTF military trainees - .penn and who have come back over the years to pass along their wisdom and advice to those following in their footsteps.
The night before graduation we had the chance to take some our Plebes .pippin06 and along with our senior PTF representative .lovera to dinner to recap their year and catch up.
We also got bonus time with 2LT ._bazile USMA ‘25 who was also in town for the festivities!
More to follow.
