Physical fitness testing in the NSCC is modeled after the Presidents Physical Fitness Challenge program as used nationally in all our public schools
· Minimum standards for the sit and reach are lowered to roughly half of what they have been. Revised NLCC and NSCC sit and reach standards are below
· The PRT ribbon is to be awarded at the National level vice the Presidential level, to hopefully encourage more cadets to strive for it. Those cadets achieving the Presidential standard are to awarded an “E” for wear on their PRT ribbon
· The timing element for NSCC pushups is deleted. Cadets are to do as many as possible “continuously” , and scores are to be based on the number completed continuously. Pull ups are an option. Revised NLCC pushup (pull up option) standards are at below. Revised NSCC push up (pull up option) standards are at below."
