202. Physical Training. The CO will schedule physical fitness training as a regular part of the units overall training program. The physical fitness standards are listed on form NSCTNG 020. To augment these standards the NSCC borrows heavily from the President’s Challenge Physical Fitness Program. It is essential cadets are able to meet the rigors of recruit and other summer training evolutions. Cadets scheduled to attend NSCC Recruit Training must pass the minimum standards prior to the CO signing and submitting the Request for Training Authority (NSCTNG 001) to the COTC. Cadets must be able to pass the Physical Fitness Test prior to the completion of NSCC Recruit Training. If failed, the cadet is required to “repeat” Recruit Training the following year. Successful completion of Recruit Training is required to attend any type of Advanced Training.
