Enjoy listening to your fave TikTok Jams, Love The Class of 2021 ⛏ picks up!! PS. thank you for donating!!! @5th_brigade_army_rotc @armyrotc #utep #uteprotc #raffle #armyrotc #miners #picksup
One thing that’s super duper important during this time is staying in shape. So I’m asking all you cadets out there to send in your home workout vids, this weeks Star is Cadet BC Herrera and his son who’s name definitely starts with an “N.” Best home workout to be sent in will win a signed portrait of Mr. S2 himself Jesus Salinas. So let’s get out there team and break some eggs. 5th Brigade Army ROTC
Going through my camera roll and found that one time MSG hijacked the whole auditorium at Ft.Bliss so he could thank the German Airmen for allowing us simple cadets to participate. He really knows how to capture an audience.
As most of you may know Cadet CSM Jonathan “power” Renteria has won the coveted title of cadet of the year. He competed against Victor Paz and emerged victorious. As cadet of the year we now look up to Jonathan to guide us on a path of riotousness and although he isn’t able to see us in person we know he thinks about us everyday.
