The objective of AFJROTC Physical Training (PT) program is to enhance cadet physical fitness,  provide leadership opportunities, build esprit de corps, increase self-confidence, and develop a healthier cadet life style.  Air Force JROTC PT is not a replacement for the school’s physical education (PE) curriculum, but cadets must be physically capable of  participating in school PE.   Junior ROTC PT  is not intended to subject cadets to strenuous physical activity which results in injuries or accidents.  All cadets who are physically able must  participate in the PT  program.  Dressing out and participating in PT will be considered by instructors when awarding the Leadership/Participation portion of the grade for JROTC.  Before participating in PT, cadets must complete the JROTC Physical Health Screening Questionnaire.  The questionnaire must be signed by the cadet and his/her parents/guardian and will be kept on file in JROTC.  It is important that cadets inform cadet leaders and instructor of any illness or physical conditions that would prevent or limit their participation in PT.

 To the maximum extent possible, the NC-071 PT program will be modeled after the  physical activity and fitness awards program established by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sport.   This program tests the cadet’s individual fitness level by using five specific events.  Those events include curl-ups, shuttle run, endurance run/walk (one mile), pull-ups, and v-sit reach.  Friday will be the regular PT day and will be used physical conditioning and sports.

 In addition to doing  PT on Fridays, cadets should take a PT test  each semester.  The  test will determine the cadet’s physical training level.   Depending on the cadets’ performance, they can receive the Physical Fitness Ribbon.  There will also be awards given to the top five male/female physically fit cadets.  Cadets must reach the levels of fitness listed order to qualify for the ribbon.
