	“So far the time I have spent in the Army ROTC program as been the best part of my college career. From the Physical Training to the Field exercises, everything we do has a sense of purpose. I have learned many new things and have been involved in some great programs such as Pershing Rifles. I am expecting to participate in the Bataan Death March this Spring as part of the UTEP team. I look forward to a new semester of challenges and new events that will help me to improve myself even further.”

Stand Out From The Rest

See how interesting college can be when you're a part of Army ROTC. You'll be a college student first and foremost, just like the rest of the student body, but there's a key difference: you'll have even more opportunities to succeed.

These opportunities include Field Training Exercises (FTXs) in the spring and fall where Cadets build their teamwork and leadership skills. Cadets also participate in Physical Training (PT) on a regular basis to keep up their strength and endurance.

In addition, each battalion has its own unique calendar of events and activities.

The Thunder Warrior Cadets are a diverse group of individuals with broad interests that come together to form the ROTC program at UTEP. During the Fall semester each school year the cadets show their support of the University by tailgating before every home football game. This is a social period where the cadets BBQ, swap stories and play pick up games of touch football. Then before just before game time the cadets get ready to show their “Miner spirit” and attend the game.
