Many of our courses involve high-risk training, such as combat skills training, survival skills training, and serving as a boarding team member.

Those courses and others require students to be physically fit per OPNAVINST 6110.1K - Physical Readiness Program. Fitness should be part of our daily routine. But wait! How does one begin? Here are some helpful tips:

1. Set some realistic fitness goals. It’s easy to get discouraged when goals are set too high.
2. Write your goals in your calendar or diary or put them where you see them daily so you are more likely to stick to them.
3. Find an accountability partner—a shipmate, a neighbor, or a spouse to encourage and exercise with you. Partnering with someone makes exercising less drudging.
4. Track your results, and when you attain your goals, set new ones to obtain optimum physical fitness.

Dylan Ross awarded Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Carl Sherman the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his heroic actions in rendering critical first aid to a motorcyclist involved in an accident.
