Fitness Assessments: JLBC Cadet Physical Fitness Test & Fitnessgram
Cadets in the JLBC Cadet Corps take the Physical Fitness Test twice a year. The JLBC PFT is taken from the FitnessGram, with a couple of changes. In JLBC Cadet Corps, we only do the 1-Mile Run, not the Pacer. And we only do pushups, not the flexed arm hang. The JLBC
PFT is fully explained in JLBC Cadet Regulation.
