How to Increase Physical Readiness

The Battalion will conduct mandatory physical fitness training weekly.  Times and locations of the PTs will be listed on the Plan of the Week.

Failure to Meet PT Standards

If a Midshipman is unable to meet minimum standards, he or she should seek help from their peers and the Unit Staff.  Failure to meet standards will result in a warning, probation, loss of scholarship, or removal from the program.
