It’s time for the challenge! The Cadet Challenge consists of exercises taken from the Presidential Physical Fitness Award program. The Presidential Physical Fitness Test is part of the President’s Challenge program that encourages all Americans to make being active part of their everyday lives.
The Cadet Challenge is the JROTC Physical Fitness Test. Each cadet is required to participate in the physical fitness test conducted twice each semester. Cadets who score at the 85th percentile or better on each event on the test may receive the Physical Fitness Ribbon (N-2-2). If you achieve a score in the 84th percentile or below, but in the 50th percentile, you qualify for the National JROTC Athletics Ribbon (N-2-3).
