Physical Conditioning (PC) is organized physical training done by cadets, normally outside of physical education or organized sports. Although it can vary, a traditional PC session includes stretching, calisthenics, and a formation run of some length. The term "Physical Training" (PT) is probably more appropriate for this type of training, is used more frequently in other branches of the military, and is occasionally used interchangeable with "PC".

Physical conditioning is generally done daily, early in the morning, during Basic Cadet Training and Recognition, but less frequently during the academic year.
