  1. Yes, if the cadet is late twice
  2. No, exercise is only for building fitness ✔
  3. Yes, but only 10 push-ups

Why: CAPR 60-1 says physical exercise is used only to improve fitness. It is never used to punish cadets or teach discipline.

Huh, didn't know that: CAPP 60-50, the Active Cadet Fitness Guide, is the main fitness resource for cadet units.
