What Is Jackson Duggar Doing At Josh’s Behavioral Camp?
Jackson Duggar is following in his older brother Josh’s footsteps. Years ago, Josh attended the ALERT Academy. Now, Jackson is there. Fans are now curious to know why Jackson is at the same behavioral camp that Josh went to. Keep reading to get all of the details we know so far.
Josh Duggar and other brothers have also been a part of ALERT.
It was reported last week that Jackson Duggar is now a part of the ALERT (Air Land Emergency Resource Team) Academy. Jackson isn’t the first of Jim Bob and Michelle’s 19 children to attend ALERT. According to Katie Joy of Without a Crystal Ball, “multiple sons” have gone to this behavioral camp.
Katie Joy said that the boys who have gone to ALERT were sent there to deal with their “impure thoughts.”
She also notes, “A graduate told me that cadets aren’t allowed to speak for the first 2 weeks. Cadets are forced to go through brutal training to help them gain better spirituality to conquer [these] struggles.”
So, in the Duggar family, ALERT is used as a punishment.
In the past, the Duggars have shared photos of their sons after they have graduated from the academy. Jason and James Duggar recently attended.
Why is Jackson Duggar attending the ALERT Academy?
When the organization posted a new photo of its attendees on social media, fans recognized Jackson in the group. We have circled the 17-year-old in red in the photo below.
The ALERT Academy website notes that its program features the program “a fine-tuned combination of Christian discipleship, community service, and career training that you won’t find anywhere else on the planet.”
As Katie Joy mentioned, however, it sounds like the Duggars use this program differently for their sons who have dealt with “impure thoughts.”
It’s unclear what exactly Jackson Duggar did to make his parents send him to ALERT Academy. But it seems to be used as a punishment to correct young men’s behavior (at least for the Duggars).
Of course, it’s also possible that Jackson simply wanted to be like his older brothers and learn the important skills that ALERT Academy offers. There’s no way to really know why he is a part of this behavioral camp right now.
