Along with this list, Arma Patria candidates must be willing to continue to read additional material as it is added to this list each year, and also, to come alongside and help at 'Man to Man' events, as well as faithfully and consistently incorporating knighthood in his daily raising of his children, and helping to bring solidarity and support to other parents in the church whose children are involved in the knighthood rigors.
An Arma Patria is a "Weapons Father", and therefore, must be imparting his knowledge and wisdom to other young men in the church, especially those whose fathers are not involved in their lives.
Arma Patria are inducted at our yearly Pilgrim Harvest Festival. If you aspire to this honor, you must do two things immediately: you need to declare your intentions to Jerry Jackson, and 2, you must find someone to make you your Arma Patria surcoat. You must then get busy completing the required reading above. No exceptions to the rule.
