🚨📰 AN FTX BEST SELLER—
Swipe for exclusive insights from cadets…➡️

Over the weekend, Detachments 505 and 510 (UNM) successfully hosted our annual FTX event in Santa Fe, NM. During this event, cadets had the opportunity to cultivate leadership skills, undergo rigorous training under high-stress conditions, and persevere through challenging weather conditions.

Cadets embraced the chance to step out of their comfort zones, collaborating with new wingmen each day and even entrusting them with their safety during activities such as rappelling. Resulting in strengthened bonds and the establishment of new friendships among participants.

Thank you Det 510 for embodying as great wingmen, mentors, peers, and leaders. Looking forward to another successful year ahead. Until next time! -Det 505

⭐️COMMISSIONING SPOTLIGHT⭐️

Cadet Jose Esparza

Hometown: Las Cruces, NM

AFSC: Contracting (64P)

Best part of ROTC: The friendships I’ve made and the memories I’ve created with a group of people that I never thought I’d be a part of.

Hobbies: eating, watching movies, playing sports, and being a husband & father.

Advice for GMC: Make good habits early, they’ll take you a long way. Ask questions, because you can’t do your job if you don’t know your job. Most importantly have fun, make memories, and enjoy your time; because they’ll come a time when you’ll wish it could be like the good ol’ days.

Last week cadets had the opportunity to visit Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque! From incentive helicopter rides to trying on EOD suits, cadets got to experience life on an Air Force base, meet amazing officers, and discover the AFSCs that keep the Air Force moving.

Over the weekend our amazing cadre and cadets participated in the Bataan Memorial Marathon. The light weight and heavy ruck teams completed the 14.2 and 26.2 mile courses in honor of the men who gave their lives during the Bataan Death March in World War II.

For many participants this was their first attempt at running or rucking Bataan. They toughed through this hilly course and sand with a determined and outstanding mindset. Way to go Det 505!

Tanks and bowls and GMC Takeover!

LLAB 04 saw cadets practiced marching by playing a game of tanks! With the flight’s objective to intercept the opposing team, cadets learned how to be quick and reactive with executing commands. Meanwhile other flights got to show off their knowledge in the Knowledge Bowl!

LLAB 05 saw the 200s takeover the wing for a taste at the roles the POC handle to make all activities a success in the program. From planning workouts and recruiting events to teaching and developing the GMC into future leaders, the cadet’s got it all.
