THIS IS AN EXTREMELY TIME-SENSITIVE OPPORTUNITY

 

BLUF: There is a 12,000 square foot modular building available for $70,000. The building has been at the Tennesee Valley Authority in Athens, Alabama. It was purchased at auction by a private buyer, who is now backed against the wall to sell it ASAP, as it MUST be moved within 30 days. The total costs for this incredible addition to Camp Liberty would be about $150,000 ($70,000 for the building; $65,000 to disassemble, transport and reassemble; and $15,000 in land prep. That's less than $13 a square foot! The building is in excellent shape, has about $90,000 in new HVAC installed just two years ago, and is ready to be moved next week. We either grab this, or it will be moved and stored on a lot, doubling the transit costs.

I have been in the bulding. It is in excellent condition. If it were located anywhere else, it would have sold for three times this amount. However, it is in a very rural area (only 31 miles from Camp Liberty) and the transit costs are extremely high. For details go to:

Camp Liberty has the funds to pay for the transfer ($65,000); however, until after reenrollments in the next 60 days (which will be too late for this opportunity), we cannot responsibly make this committment without outside assistance. We can do this through GoFundMe, or we are in a position to pay this off in two years with a private loan. Unfortunately, the size of our property is at the funding cap for our small rural bank, so that is not an option, especially with such little time.

This is a shot in the dark! We have outgrown all of our facilities, as a result of the trememdous response to our program. In the past year, we have building the 2450 sq foot Medical Aid Station; 100 meter marksmanship range; added to the obstacle course, expanded and enhanced Ranger Village; added to visitor cottages and expanded the tactical training area. As a result, we are not in a position to take on this large of an unexpected expense.

If this were to come to Camp Liberty, it would serve a multitude of uses, negating the need to add ANY new construction for several years:

<ul>
<li>Move the Dining Facility to the new building, allowing for an additional 100 seats. This would also expand our ability to support military reuninions, military weddings, large-scale training events, etc.
</li>
<li>Add 80 bed spaces for Challengers. We would be able to keep up with our growth. Of special importance, by moving the Dining Facility, the space would be turned into additional female billeting space. We have had to turn away young ladies due to lack of bed space, which we must resolve.
</li>
<li>Office and storage space, expanding our ability to coordinate what has become a 300+ person operation.
</li>
<li>Additional two-person billeting, to support the EMS FastTrack program, which will provide training to transitioning military personnel who wish to enter the EMS career path. Our 28-day program will provide veterans with training for Emergency Medical Technician, CPR/AED, Emergency Vehicle Operator Course and the Tactical Casuality Care Course.
</li>
</ul>
This is a huge opportunity, that is short-lived. If we can hit the mark, we will grab this up. If not ALL DONATIONS WILL BE REFUNDED.

Any support you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance on this important project.

I am always honored by how much support we receive from the XMC family, even long after Cadets have gone on to their lives. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me

Mega-Hooah!
