June 2016: Duggar Updates and Snapshots

What have the Duggars been up to? We have a handful of snapshots and updates to share with you all!

Two weeks ago, the family traveled to Big Sandy, Texas, for Jeremiah's graduation from ALERT Academy. ALERT, which stands for Air Land Emergency Resource Team, equips young men to serve in emergency situations.

At 17 years old, Jeremiah completed Basic Training, a nine-week course that can be followed by two advanced training courses. The program focuses on developing personal discipline, responsibility, attention to detail, endurance, teamwork, and healthy spiritual habits. Recruits also learn a variety of outdoor skills, including basic camping, ropes, knots and rope systems, lashing, and land navigation.

Check out these selfies taken by Joy-Anna on a recent trip to Central America...




And last but not least, here are a couple photos of Jackson Duggar's 12th birthday celebration. It's no surprise that he chose to celebrate with a Chocolate Mess from MarketPlace Grill.

  6. So, does ALERT actually certify its graduates in as EMT's? Is the criteria equal to US military training(boot camp)? What are they equipped to handle/perform ?

  7. Is Jeremiah now Red Cross certified in CPR/first aid, qualified as a soldier completing basic trading??? Having no idea what ALERT is, itself, certified in teaching??? How is the program accredited?

  9. Just wondering if you had any information on Jed, since he is his twin one would think they might have graduated together or is he taking a totally did different path than his brother? Love the boys and wish the very best for both...blessings.
