Physical education average

From USAFA Folklore

The physical education average (PEA) is a score from 0.00 to 4.00 that rates a cadet's physical achievement. It is computed by using the cadet's scores from the Physical Fitness Test, Aerobic Fitness Test and grades in physical education classes. A cadet with a PEA of 3.00 or above is put on the Athletic Director's List. A cadet with a PEA of below 2.00 is put on athletic probation.

The PEA was created in 19__. Prior to this time, physical education classes were averaged into the grade point average, while the PFT and AFT were graduation requirements that were graded independently. The 1.5 mile run was added to cadet athletic requirements in 197_.
