Fitness Standards Physical Training is paramount to the Air Force Mission. Airman and Officers strive to maintain physical fitness standards, ensuring that we are "Fit to Fight". All Air Force ROTC cadets are now required to attend Physical Training classes. The University of Southern Mississippi allows cadets to take these courses for academic credit. The Physical Fitness Test (PFT) must be taken every term by all cadets enrolled in Air Force ROTC. Non-scholarship GMC cadets must only attempt the test. Scholarship cadets and cadets in the POC, however, must pass the test each fall and spring. The PFT is composed of three events, with a five minute rest between events. A body-mass circumference measurement is also taken. To pass the test, all events must be completed and a minimum score of 75 must be obtained. The PFT events are: Push-ups Abdominal Crunches (Sit-ups) 1.5 mile run
