Echo Families! Heres and update on what your Trainees have been up to:

During the first week, your Trainee will complete the Team Development Course (TDC). The TDC is a series of physical challenges that require the Trainees to work as a team to move themselves
and pieces of equipment from one side of an obstacle to the other. These obstacles can consist of water moats. walls, and a variety of other barriers that the Trainees must work together to
figure out how to navigate.

The Confidence Chamber (also known as the gas chamber), is their first introduction to Chemical, Biological, Radioactive, and Nuclear (CBRN) training. They will learn how to properly wear the M50 Protective Mask (also known as Gas Mask) as well as employ a variety of cleaning supplies specifically designed to treat contamination. The final practical exercise of this training event is the gas chamber where your Trainee will learn to trust in their equipment. Don't be alarmed, this is a controlled environment! They will put on their gas mask, and enter a room filled with harmless but very uncomfortable tear gas. While they are wearing
their mask, they will be unaffected by the teargas, but they will proceed to remove their mask and experience the effects of tear gas briefly before exiting the chamber. This experience helps them
understand how to maintain their composure and remain focused on what needs to be done even when they are under distress.

The Confidence Obstacle Course is all about overcoming obstacles and, as the name implies, building confidence. It also requires the Trainees to face innate fears they may have such as a fear of heights. Trainees will also get the chance to tackle the Confidence Rappel Tower also known as Eagle Tower. The Confidence Rappel Tower is an exercise typically done early where Trainees can develop the personal courage and confidence in their equipment giving Trainees the ability to realize they can overcome just about any obstacle thrown their way. Trainees must navigate through several obstacles at extreme heights, including climbing and traversing rope ladders and bridges, and rappelling down a 50-foot wall.
