U.S. Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadet and Clemson University student Elizabeth Wilson (seated), a political science major from New Jersey, grades freshman cadet Thomas Mills, an agribusiness major from Fairfield County, S.C., as he pumps out as many pushups as he can in two minutes while taking the Army Physical Fitness Test, Jan. 14, 2016. The APFT consists of pushups and situps (as many as you can do in two minutes, each) and completing a two-mile run in the shortest time possible. The Army standard for passing the APFT is 60 points in each of the three events for a total of 180 points. All ROTC scholarship cadets must achieve this standard each semester to retain their scholarship benefits. Army ROTC, Military Science, was established as an integral part of the academic curriculum of Clemson University beginning in 1893 with the institution’s first full-time academic year of operation. Clemson’s long association with Army ROTC began in the context of a military college with an all male corps of cadets. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Staff Sgt. Ken Scar)
