In his short stay at Alburquerque High School JROTC program he quickly moved through the ranks going from Cadet Private to to Cadet Second Lieutenant with duty assignment as Platoon Leader responsible for 28 Cadets. Under his leadership, he was able to motivate his cadets to perform in such an outstanding manner, that they contributed greatly assisting the JROTC Program to receive a rating of "Honor Unit with Distinction". They were rated as being in the top 2010of over 1600 high schools with Army JROTC. Edwin was being groomed for The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.
