An inspiring member of The UTEP ROTC Program. Originally an El Paso native, graduating from Chapin High School, Duran chose to enlist in the Army National Guard in 2017 because of the opportunities for success and growth the Army offered. Cadet Duran hopes to commission as an aviation officer and fly both in the military and the civilian field once retired. He has chosen to study Criminal Justice due to his long-time interest in the judicial and court systems. Duran's favorite thing about El Paso is its closely connected community that is accepting of any and everyone no matter where you are from or what you look like. Cadet Duran credits his mother as his motivation for success, as she is one of the hardest workers he has ever met. He is also extremely grateful to his mother as she came to the US from Guatemala to provide him a better life and ensure that he would never have to go through what she did as a child.

Always a pleasure going out and speaking to soldiers about the opportunities that are available to them thru the green to gold program. You think you have what it takes? We would be happy to help. [email protected] / 915-747-5621
As we end our Celebration of Women History Month let us congratulate four amazing cadets who earned a Texas Armed Services Scholarship. Cadet Alcazar, Amber (Sr.), Cadet Robertson, Heavyn (Jr.), Cadet Cintron, Adrianna (So.), and Cadet Villa, Samantha (Fr.) each received a $10,000.00 Scholarship by their State Senator and Representative. The most in program history. Congratulation!! "PICKS UP"

In observation of women’s history month, the Fighting Miner Battalion would like to recognize their very own Cadet Leila Sanchez. Cadet Sanchez attributed her early influence to join ROTC to her friends in Advanced Individual Training. “The program has helped push myself mentally, giving me confidence, while enabling me to serve my community.” She garners motivation from her friends who have taught her the value of a strong work ethic and dedication. Cadet Sanchez hopes to branch into the Adjutant General Corps where she will lead soldiers as a Second Lieutenant. It has been a remarkable journey to see this Cadet grow as a person, and as a professional, as she looks to what is in store for the future as a leader in the United States Army. Picks up for this Fighting Miner! 🤙

Cadet Highlight: Deon Barbee
.
An inspiring leader within the Fighting Miner Battalion, Cadet Deon Barbee takes great pride for the program, his community, and most importantly his family. Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Cadet Barbee joined the Army in 2007 due to falling on hard times after losing his job and having a four-month-old baby to provide for, a decision he has never come to regret. Barbee and his family were stationed in Fort Bliss, Texas where they have come to love as home. Like many El Paso natives, he considers El Paso as "a large city with a small city mentality.” Cadet Barbee took advantage of the UTEP ROTC's Green to Gold program and currently serves on Active Duty whilst maintaining status as a Cadet and going to school full-time. Cadet Barbee is currently pursuing a Master's in Intelligence and National Security Studies (INSS). He hopes to commission into the Medical Service Corp, obtain a second master’s degree in healthcare management, and attend Ranger school to earn the coveted Ranger Tab. Cadet Barbee credits his success both inside and outside the military to his older brother, who has played a pivotal father figure and role model for his life. His wife and children also have given him the direction and motivation needed to be successful. Picks up for this Fighting Miner!

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.
Our amazing OPS SGM Bropez finally contracted yesterday and was sworn in by her husband 1LT Lopez. I know what you’re thinking, wait... she was working for free this whole time?? Yeah, yeah she was.
