What can occur if a cadet cannot complete physical or manipulative skill testing due to illness or injury?

If a cadet cannot complete physical or manipulative skill testing due to illness or injury, the appropriate course of action is typically to allow for an 'incomplete' grade or a withdrawal from the Academy. This approach recognizes that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances can prevent a cadet from meeting specific requirements, without penalizing them harshly for these issues.

Receiving an 'incomplete' grade provides the cadet an opportunity to fulfill the necessary requirements at a later date, ensuring that their academic record reflects their capabilities and hard work, even in light of setbacks. This kind of flexibility is important in educational programs, especially in rigorous environments like an academy, where physical performance is crucial. It allows cadets to recover from their conditions and continue their education without being unduly penalized for situations beyond their control.
