“We know what we are, but not what we may be.” -William Shakespeare New Mexico Military Institute, home of the Broncos and the little Colts, carries a tradition in which every student becomes a cadet in the Corps of Cadets. It holds some of the finest programs that can be taught such as Astronomy, Physics, Math, English, Choir, Science and one in particular which is the Early Commissioning Program (ECP) of the SROTC department. There is even a tradition in which newcomers must go through known as RAT Week. The ECP is independent aside from the Corps of Cadets in which it has its own squadron known as the "Garry Owen Squadron" and Cadre to learn from.

I did mention the fact that I was excused because of PT in the morning but they didn’t really care, neither did I because it was a terrible session. Twenty pushups is punishment to others but from my perspective it's something a tad easier. The fact stands that they should have been notified by the higher ups of my situation and kept me accountable. It isn't much of a problem as of now probably because they have gotten used to ROTC cadets not showing to the BRC formations. To reflect on this situation, there was a time when my troop had Additional Military Instruction (AMI) early in the morning but at the same time, I had PT again. I had to ditch AMI and because PT is essential for the health and physicality of the body. It's also on top of my to-do list in the morning because it's part of the ROTC training which is my priority. This does have a piece of my identity because I am more focused at ROTC than Corps/Troop Activities. I tend to be more serious when it comes to the ECP program and although I messed up at times, they always help me with what I struggle
