There was no "going home" you went to PMTU Positive Motivational Training Unit- 2 additional hours of PT every night.

I used to be a Navy recruiter. I want you to know that you can do it. Most recruit prospects give up at some point and don't reach their goal but they aren't you. If you really want it, you can make it happen. Learn about proper calorie deficit, keep running for 30 minutes at a time (run for distance/speed and consistency) 5-6 days a week, and focus on exercises that make you stronger especially leg exercises as this will speed up your metabolism. No matter what, don't give up. Don't quit.

Good to see recruits working so hard prior to their enlistment to ensure they can pass this very easy PT test.

See the problem is navy recruiters just take you to testing and then bring you back to the recruitng station or drop you off to your home. They don’t really wanna workout with you same with other branches tbh. Reason number one why I’m getting a gym membership and working out there also doing the pt requirements

My 18 year old grandson just entered 1 of the US Military Academys. To prepare he ran 5 miles in 95° daily, started powerlifting again & swam lap after lap. He was already in shape from high school sports & wanted to concentrate on the mental, emotional aspects.

This hasn't been around for years, baseline is not currently a PFA. It includes a PACER run currently (beep test for those that know it by that)

Very proud of the ones who want to fight to be better and push through anything

In retrospect, I think I could do this easier now in my 40’s than I did at 19. 😂

“fail to prepare prepare to fail”

In our bootcamp, we had to pass the 3rd PFA. It was not good to fail the first 2, but it did not get you sent home. This is one change I actually like.

Toss them a game controller. Their thumbs should be olympic grade.

All I did to prepare, during the first several of ten months in DEP, was run for miles on end. I kept dropping weight by that alone. Then I beefed up on the push ups and sit ups quite quickly.

If you can't pass that in boot camp your recruiter needs a pay cut

I was lucky are recruiter wanted us to be well rounded! We worked out hard then went to the bar afterwards and got hammered, then did it again the next day!💪💪 Navy strong!!

The first male RDC was my chief

Been there , 1st PT Test in Infantry OSUT … Ft. Benning 1982. Final PT test I did great . Went to Airborne School , 44th Co. and got my silver wings

I'm so old that ours was a PRT. My last 1.5 mile run clocked in at 9 minutes, 28 seconds. 1996 was a glorious year.

Nah I'm in perfect shape going to navy bootcamp soon

Lmao you don’t get separated if you fail the pfa it’s just a test to see where you are physically at for boot camp

I don’t understand if they knew they were joining the service why didn’t they prepare for the physical assessment of the military?

I'm both Navy ('85 to '89) and Army ('08 to '23) with some Navy Reserves and Guard too. The Army's standards defeated itself because multiple people failed on purpose, were Chaptered out with full benefits because not meeting a standard isn't a UCMJ category. Result: A lot of people honorably discharged by purposely failing three APFTs and posting their new college/free life on Facebook.

This looks like a summer camp program at the ymca

I’m so glad I workout like I do and plus I ran a 4 and I’m shipping out January 💪👏

Basic in 1990 was pushups, sit ups n arms folded across chest, run, plus sit n reach touch ur toes.

It's amazing that they just send you home instead of actually working with you. It's a wonder they can't find people

I passed because Master Chief Bradford and Sr Chief Bolton make sure all of our NJROTC cadets could outperform most Recruits.... We got of the bus in grtlks.... ready to work

It's surprising the recruits who join the navy and can't swim. And having never done a sport they think they can make it through boot. Navy boot is easy for most.

I havent even signed a contract or taken the oath yet but im already training. Would you happen to have any advice from back then on increasing push up reps? If they made you do that many with your seabag on you must have been able to do many without it on at the time. I struggle past the 10th consecutive one even at body weight.

You can fail the first two PFAs iirc the third PFA is the one you need to pass. Honestly if your partner isn’t a blue falcon you’ll pass unless you utterly suck at running then you shouldn’t be there in the first place. I went in at 20 and wasn’t in the best shape and still passed it all easy. I went to recruiter October I was in boot camp in march. Never once did I PT at DEP. You’ll be fine if you can run a 12:30 before even talking to a recruiter. By the time you get to bootcamp you should be able to run a 11-12 min mile and a half. Any less then bootcamp is literally the Summer camp for fleet navy.

Go NAVY..✔💯❤🇺🇸

I'm confused do they not know they need to be fit 😕 are the Recurring not telling them to go beyond the physical requirements

i thought they took situps out

At the end of the 8 weeks u do the pfa right? Or when

If it's small or manageable it will possibly be glossed over at first but the RDCs will know and they will focus on those recruits. If they don't pass by a real margin they likely won't be immediately placed in a division. If the failure is not too bad and it won't disrupt their seat for A school they could be put into a "fitness division", but if the failure is really bad and it looks like the recruiter blatantly lied about their ability to pass the PRT then yes, they can and will be sent home. I came about 30 seconds late on my run. I was active prior to boot camp but it was cycling and skating and the muscle groups for those exercises are different than for straight running. I also could barely do my pushups. They gave me a red card and moved me into division. I made it my personal issue to constantly do more pushups just about every day. One week after leaving Basic and doing our initial PRT for A school I did 120 pushups in 2 minutes. It's important that the new recruit puts forth full effort without expecting any kind of pass so that is what they are told, for some people, kowing the stakes are that high is the push they need. RDCs also also know that you're in a state of shock and awe the first week or so so not everyone is on their A game. It's not as cut and dry as they make it seem in this short video.

Based on the body habitus of a lot of those recruits I estimate 50% won’t make it. Oh wait it’s the navy which is just a notch above the airforce, so the PFT is walk 50 feet to the chow hall and drink a cup of coffee. Making future chief petty officers.

As an American this is ungodly embarrassing. Damn has the youth of our nation and recruiters changed for the absolute worst. Neither from the start could even complete one sentence without the up voice valley girl inflection with “like” thrown in there to capitalize the failure of our education system.
