The Phantom Regiment not only gave me the three most exciting, intense, and rewarding summers I’ve ever had; It gave me experiences and skills that will resonate throughout the rest of my life. No other organization could have shaped me the way the Regiment did.
Phantom Regiment has made a huge impact on my daughter’s life. I want y’all to know that when I first heard her tell me she wanted to join, I looked at your website and read the mission statement and thought it was a bunch of fluff. Wow, I was wrong. This was a life-changing experience for Ellie. Thank you for making that happen.
I would not be who or where I am today without the experiences I had in my four years with the Phantom Regiment. This organization teaches discipline and perseverance unlike any other place I have known, and along the way you truly learn how to be a better version of yourself.
We have this incredible desire to reach into the heart of fans, get pushed to the ultimate exhaustion, and give a part of ourselves without asking for anything in return. That is who the Phantom Regiment is, and that is exactly why I’ve become the strongest version of myself I never thought was possible.
