5. Exercise Descriptions: (Score Sheet Attached)

a. Pull-ups (MALES): Cadets will assume the hanging position on the bar using either an overhand grasp or underhand grip. Cadets begin the exercise by first raising their body until the chin is over the bar without touching it. To complete one repetition, the body must be lowered to the full-hang starting position. During each repetition, the body must not swing, legs must not kick or bend, and the pull must not be jerky.

Flexed-arm Hang (FEMALES): The cadet will begin this/her exercise by grasping the bar

with their hands, shoulder with apart – using either an overhand grasp or underhand grip. At the command “ready, go,” the cadet will raise their chin above the bar. Kicking and other body movements are not permitted while the cadets are on the bar. Time will begin on the command “go” and stop when the cadet’s chin rests on the bar, the chin tilts backwards to keep it above the bar, or the chin falls below the level of the bar. Scoring is to the nearest second.

b. Standing Long Jump: With the toes of both feet positioned at the takeoff line, cadet jumps forward as far as possible. No preliminary step or hop may precede the jump. The cadet may bend knees, lower and raise body, swing arms and bring heels off the floor while preparing to jump (feet may not leave the ground completely except during the jump). Jump is measured from the takeoff line to the rearmost point (heel or other body part at landing).

c. 300 Meter Shuttle Run: This 300 yard event measures how quickly the cadet can complete six round trips between two lines spaced 25 yards apart. Run to the line, not past the line in making your turn, the line must be touched (feet, does not have to be touched by hand). To assist you in pacing yourself, the number of round trips you have completed will be called out aloud to you each time you return to the starting line.

PROCEDURE GUIDE FOR ACADEMIC CHALLENGE

PURPOSE : To provide information on the preparation and conduct of the Academic Competition at Red-Leg Drill

Meet. Individual winners of the competition will be awarded medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Team trophies will be

awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

GENERAL: Academic Competition is a timed, three phased, gender neutral individual and team event involving 4

team members. All members will contribute to the final team score. One cadet must be designated as Team

Captain prior to competition. Three (3) categories have been selected which contain general knowledge for any

JROTC cadet. Schools entering more than one team will designate a team of record. Only that team will count for

all awards. The team of record must be the first academic team to compete. All other teams will not be eligible for

any awards.

Station-1 is an oral examination of the Cadet Creed. Each cadet will be required to recite the Cadet Creed for a

score. Each word in the Cadet Creed (109 words) is worth one point each plus 41 points for presentation, totaling a

150 points. JROTC programs other than Army may replace the word Army in the Cadet Creed to match their

perspective program (Air Force, Marines, and Navy). Teams will report to Station 1 NLT 10 minutes prior to

start time.

Station-2 is an individual examination consisting of 20 questions from all categories. Strict procedures will be

observed and cadets talking and making verbal gestures will be disqualified. The test will be conducted and graded

on the Classroom Performance System (CPS) and each question will have a time limit. The time limit for all CPS

exams will be determined by the NCOIC and posted at the entrance to the test area prior to testing. Each cadet will

be assigned one CPS remote to take the examination. Cadets will be given instructions on how to operate CPS prior

to testing.

Station-3 is a Team competition consisting of ten (10) questions from any category. The Cadets will be allowed to

huddle and collaborate on each response and must give the response within the allotted 60 second time limit. The

team captain will be assigned one CPS remote and be responsible for ensuring the team’s answer is loaded in CPS.

This test will also be conducted and graded on the CPS.

NOTE: Videotaping of Stations 2 and 3 is prohibited. Coaches are allowed to accompany their teams into the

testing area for stations 2 and 3, but they must remain completely silent during the competition. Under no

26

circumstances will a coach enter the testing area when not accompanying his team. Violation of this provision will

result in the team being disqualified.

Scoring from each phase will be combined and a final team score posted throughout the day upon departure.
