Study Guide 4 - Physical Readiness Program

I) Fitness tests at RTC

     There are 2 fitness tests given during RTC, the first during the first 1-3 days and the final about 3 days before Battle Stations and Graduation.

     Recruits who do not pass the final fitness test do not graduate.

II) The Maximum body fat percentage allowed at RTC is:

     22% for males and 33% for females.

III) The Navy expects all Sailors to maintain their physical fitness.

     Sailors who fail to meet Navy physical readiness standards cannot:
          - advance in pay grade
          - reenlist
          - transfer

     If you fail to maintain physical readiness standards remedial training will be required.

     Continued failure to show progress when there are no medically limiting circumstances will result in administrative separation.
