What SMC is the least physically challenging?

I wasn't trying to slam anyone. I am just such a long time poster that I now pay attention to 2 things before I post a response.

1. Date that the original post was created.
~ I can recall several that new posters pulled back up via search after 3-5 year hiatus.
2.OP count.
~ In this case they joined in 2012 and have 21 posts as of July 2015.
~~ That says to me they lurk at best.

I get reviving a thread can help, but if your intention is to respond directly to the OP, chances are they left the building.
~ There is a thread on USNA, an 8th grader asking questions. It started on Tuesday. 12 replies as of yesterday at 8:37 p.m., but nobody has noticed yet she left the building. Silence from her.
 
No, but the poster that pulls this thread back up again in 2018, well, all bets are off at that time and they are fair game.:laugh:
 
Virginia Tech has a civilian leader track for those who have no desire to do ROTC or were dropped from their ROTC program. There were some morbidly obese cadets in that program. Outside of ROTC, the VTCC doesn't have any physical standards.

Pictures, pleeeeeeze!

While it's true that civilian track cadets are not held to the same standards as ROTC cadets, it's not accurate to say that they don't have any physical standards at all. VPI has its own required PT sessions three times per week and there are mandatory PT tests every semester (IIRC they use Navy PT standards). Getting out of the PFA requires medical documentation and flunking the PFA has consequences like losing VPI leadership positions/rank. I think they can also lose their Corps scholarships too.

Have VPI cadets been forced out because of failing PT? Probably not. But the Corps has made some significant changes to the program over the last 5-7 years and increasing the PT requirements has been one of them.
