PT
PT
PT is held every Friday during a cadet's class period. Each cadet is expected to wear the issued shorts and shirt as well as athletic or running style shoes (see picture above [picture needed]). It is expected that the cadet will wash and care for this uniform appropriately. PT is graded on a 50 point scale for participation and effort put forth (instructor discretion). Cadets will also receive a uniform grade for wearing their PT uniform properly during PT.
Twice a year (September & April), cadets will take a physical fitness test consisting of 1 minute of push-ups, 1 minute of sit-ups and a 1-mile run/walk. Fitness charts are used to place cadets in a percentile based on their gender and age - these are published on the cadets' google classroom. The overall fitness percentile is calculated by taking an average of each of the 3 scores. Cadets who score above a 75% will earn a Health & Wellness Ribbon with the corresponding star:
Gold: 95-100%
Silver: 85-94%
Bronze: 75-84%
