Physical fitness is an important aspect of officer preparation which promotes both teamwork and personal pride.

Battalion physical training (PT)

Every Friday, Navy and Marine Option midshipmen attend a unit PT session at 0600. Additionally, every Tuesday and Thursday, Marine Option midshipmen attend 0600 PT sessions.

Our students come from all different levels of physical fitness. No matter how much experience you have, our goal is to help you push your limits and come out stronger physically and mentally!

Events

Apart from a regular workout schedule, the Unit will often perform physical exercises or evolutions during the designated period for Drill Lab on Wednesdays. Examples include introductions to MCMAP, Sailing, Paintball, and Rock climbing. The CUIDC (Cornell University Invitational Drill Competition) includes a Military Excellence Tournament featuring a wide variety of physical challenges, in which ROTC units from all over the country come to participate.
