Physical Training The phrase aproficient military athlete is heard many times by trainees throughout their basic combat training cycle. Physical training is stressed throughout training and emphasis is placed on complete physical development. Each trainee must be developed physically to be capable and ready to perform his assigned mission. Throughout the training cycle, physical training is given every day. A trainee is rated on his physical fitness by the Physical Combat Proficiency Test QPCPTD. This test is taken twice during the training cycle. The Hrst test is a udry-run to orient the individual sol- dier. During the second test, at the end of the cycle, a trainee is scored on his physical prohciency. A score of 300 from a possible 500 points is the standard score he must obtain to meet minimum physical fitness standards.
