This program is a 6-month COMMITMENT beginning in April and ending in September. Participants should expect this to be physically and mentally demanding. You will gain in-depth knowledge and experience in archery hunting, all while embarking on a journey to cultivate your purpose through WQW's Built for More curriculum.

· An 8-day HFP Skills Training Experience: April 20-27

Submission of Service Record and Current Photo

WQW's Program Team is committed to objectivity when reviewing applications. This thorough screening process requires confirmation of participation in combat operations, either through the receipt of combat awards or proof of service in a location in which you received Imminent Danger Pay.

Please include your service record (DD214 Member-4, ERB, ORB, BIR, BTR, etc.). We recognize that service records are confidential and are stored securely.

Check the following locations on your DD214 to ensure eligibility (only one of the following requirements must appear):

Block 13: Decorations Medals, Badges, Citations, and Campaign Ribbons (check the continuation page for overflow of Block 13 information).
Block 18: Remarks. This is where you will find information about receiving Imminent Danger Pay.

If you do not see confirmation of participation in combat operations on your DD214, or if you are currently Active Duty and do not possess a DD214, please provide any official documentation of combat related service. This can include, but is not limited to:

Award Citations for Combat Awards (ie. Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon/Badge/Medal, Bronze Star with "V" device, etc.)
Service Record (which clearly indicates combat service and/or deployment information)

*Due to the volume of applications WQW receives, we ask that you ensure that you have provided proper documentation at this time. We are unable to process applications that do not meet eligibility requirements. If we are unable to confirm your eligibility, your application may not be considered.
