This is a recruiter issue.
Navy Recruits should have been working with their recruiter to be in good enough shape to pass the PFA prior to shipping out.
@@colonelreb8312 Navy. During my time as a recruiter I was stationed at NRD Ohio and recruiting in Toledo Ohio.
Our Station led the distrust in processing Spec Ops recruits and as such we were regularly putting them and our regular recruits through PRT.
My recruiters did a good job with it, they would take us to the gym and give us fake PFA tests while in dep. that way we would know what was expected of us
Yeah this is facts, I asked my recruiter when are they gonna let me come in to excersise. I never did get a call and he ghosted me
That shit that, you gonna be better in there, they are gonna teach you is bull shit, they barely teach you how to do an about face you have to learn it hard way… was hard see people failing o struggling because they were told you will be fine. I prepared myself but the run Is always hard for me can you imagine those who never ran before bootcamp?
It doesn’t matter they lie about the push-ups and sit ups the only real challenge is the mile and a half lol
Remember this is an old video. If you’re training to join, start doing planks. We have changed sit-ups to planks for PRTs.
Just keep lowering the standards so they can let more in. Pathetic. Just pathetic.
How long do you have to hold a plank???
@@willnox1 depends on your age bracket and what score it will give you. To be safe I’d say hold for 3 mins or longer.
@@jacquelinenicole6013i can barely hold a minute 30
@@EagleNation163 minutes is nothing lol 😂 maybe to some but it should be easy. I’m not surprised it isn’t at 5-10 minutes for a plank.
Just want to point out you dont go home if you fail your PFA in boot camp. If you fail the final PFA you are set back in training.
In army you go to FTB. We call it fat tubby bastards. 🤣
Thanks for that I was worried for my daughter
Which sucks, you want to get out of there as soon as possible start working out in d.e.p. Kiddos it’s not hard to pass 😂
Wait so like they won't just give up on u and send you home???
@@Skillorexno they just send u into another division when u double tap it, the standards are very low everyone should pass tho
In 86 I was required to loose 35 lbs to be eligible to go to boot camp. During boot I lost another 48 lbs. Enough to be reissued uniforms that fit. There was no "going home" you went to PMTU Positive Motivational Training Unit- 2 additional hours of PT every night. I am proud of what I lost before, but I am glad I pushed through. 10 of the best years of my life.
Thank you for your service
they still have that same concept, i remember seeing the extra PT units in the track while i was marching over to my training, i think they always had sweats in instead in OCP so they could live a life of PT.I don’t think having someone be supervised with their fitness is that bad especially considering the lives many of these people left behind
With the SEALS no less
Now that you did that, learn how to spell lose and when to use it in a sentence correctly.
Loose? Or lose? Which is it?
Nice to see the drill instructor encouraging you vs yelling in your face and calling you a waste. Marines is a whole different scenario.
As a person like me as a Veteran who served, as long as you’re doing your daily PT and work on what need to be done, you’ll do fine. I also want to add getting all is your qualifications done in a sufficient amount of time and setting your goals.
Thank you for your advice, I’m waiting for my MEPS date and hopefully get shipped a couple weeks after that soon. I’m aiming to be a nuke
Dude we had guys that where 300 pounds in the navy. They could barely fit through a hatch.
Na. I ran P.T. still drunk from the night before often. If you are not weak, you will do fine. We rarely did P.T. as I was in the aircraft world. Never failed a P.T. test.
@@johnbutler1279 i am a veteran of the air force. I was concerned about the pt but i was running a couple miles every other day before i even went to meps, and even while waiting to go to basic traing.
So set a goal of walking and build up over time to running.
Before I went to boot camp I worked my ass off for 6 months to get in decent physical condition and pass all the checks. One of the best things i ever did for myself! Any Individual is capable of much much more Physically or Mentally when they are motivated. That is the lesson I learned serving in the military.
What happens if you don’t pass the past physical test run by the time they want but you pass the sit ups and push ups?
Outstanding recruits proving themselves and proudly serving thier country.
I am morbidly obese but my goal is to be able to join the navy next year. I haven’t ran since elementary school but I’ve started running a mile and a half every day at the park. My time is about 30 minutes but I know I can get there. I can’t do a push-up either so I’m working on getting my core and my arms stronger. My goal is to not only meet the female standard; but meet, if not exceed, the male standard before I even talk to my recruiter. If I’m close, that’s fine but I want to be sure I’m in shape. I’m motivated and ready to be healthy
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.
My cousin was the same! She was obese her entire life but she worked super hard to get into the navy and got through it just fine! Don’t give up, you’ve got this.
You go girl!!!! We need motivated individuals in the Navy. Stay motivated and you will go a long ways.
Usmc here, keep up the work and it will pay off. Remember its just a mental game, stay focussed and you will succeed.
You just have to be able to do the initial PFA I think it’s 1 1/2 miles in 15
Looks like high school gym class 😆
It practically is a bunch of 18 year olds joining days after graduating
"Extreme" gym class is all it is
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.
Your grandson is physically above the military.
Navy boot camp is literally summer camp
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
Im in DEP till August .im hittingthe gym planks, push up and get back into running 🏃♀️ i will not fail or falter.
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. 😂
I PT better then this as a Veteran 15 years out of the Navy, then I did going through boot camp at 18 years old!
i spent 2.5 months in marine corps boot camp before getting sent home for an injury. these RDCs are so easy on them
I was in the Army...I look at this and I'm like huh??? They actually act like humans? Like their yelling isn't even my dad's yelling...the run is the only thing I'm rlly worried about..T-56 days...I got this
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.
50 push ups
50 sit ups in 2 minutes that’s where I am at
Everyone is gonna pass that’s a guarantee 😉
The goal is warm breathing bodies for the fleet. 😢
Better half ass it that first test if you go all out knowing you're not used to it you'll be put in the best group and you'll have to run like that everyday 😂
Same for half-assing it.
Isn’t that a good thing though? So that you push yourself and graduate at the top of your class
@@godismysavior6428depends sometimes its best to run in the middle of the pack in bootcamp. At least in the Marines it was. You didnt want to be the stud. Or the towards the back.
But they would tell us rabbits in the first group. I forgot what the medium was. And last group turtles.
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.
“fail to prepare prepare to fail”
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!!
Petty officer tine was my rdc and she was awesome I miss her
Toss them a game controller. Their thumbs should be olympic grade.
Initial strenghth test in USMC bootcamp, at MCRD San Diego, Jan. 1987 was ooorah!
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.
It's amazing that they just send you home instead of actually working with you. It's a wonder they can't find people
There a lot softer then we were 😊 went through boot in 1977😮
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
The first male RDC was my chief
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
Nah I'm in perfect shape going to navy bootcamp soon
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.
Nobody gets kicked out for being out of shape. You basically just get rerolled or sent to fat camp.
When I was young, most kids played sports and was constantly out doors playing. Fitness was never a challenge for us.
The military conducted a study and found that the supersize greasy fries, sodas, all that crap has made everyone nowadays unhealthy
Well when you were young people didnt call the police on kids for playing outside unsupervised either
@@BnaillingNo shit, I don't think the military had to do a study to figure out that greasy food is unhealthy.
Basic in 1990 was pushups, sit ups n arms folded across chest, run, plus sit n reach touch ur toes.
I Always Do Push Ups Before Going To Bed And I'll Never Quit
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 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
This looks like a summer camp program at the ymca
I am old school Navy. Did boot Diego. 200 push-ups with our seabags on.
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.
@@meitomiyazaki9848Then do 10 pushups 100 times a day. Break it up to what you can do. And do it over and over. Incorporate pullups hang from a bar until your fingers uncurl. Start jogging. The more you do they all help each other. The pushups get easier. Get a deck of playing cards. Go through it with pushups face cards are 15 or 20. You can also do red suit pushups black suit bodyweight squats. Go through the deck daily.
I’m always surprised with how many people get to basic with zero physical preparation
Need to make it more like the Marine Corp physical fitness test.
Make is easier??? Why?
All branches are about the same
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.
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.
What made you go into the army at near 40 years old? I did the Marines at 19 I wouldnt go back now at 36 thats just me though
@brianfitch5469 Circumstances beyond my control involving poor personnel management in the Missouri guard that caused severe economic hardship for me and my wife resulting in an expedited approved conditional release from the guard for transfer to active duty. (In fact, it usually takes 90 to 180 days and is signed by a colonel. Mine took 24 hours and was signed by General Sidwell [two star]).
@@robertfreestone414 glad it worked out for you.
What happened to weight standards to get in to boot camp?!! Some of those recruits are morbidly obese. They shouldn't be released from Delayed Entry Program until they meet standards. Before I was shipped off to USMC Recruit Training in the 90's, we were weighed several times. I don't get it. Setting them up for failure.
They get to do theirs indoors? 😕
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’m so glad I workout like I do and plus I ran a 4 and I’m shipping out January 💪👏
I doubt the navy will kick u out if u don't pass. I am sure they allow additional training to redo test
They do. But you are under a time restriction.
My RDC's told us to shut up and put out during our baseline PFA
That is the easiest part of boot camp. Practice running a mile and a half before you arrive at boot camp.
You don't go to boot camp to get in shape. You have to already be in shape enough to run and do push ups and sit-ups.
i thought they took situps out
Go NAVY..✔💯❤🇺🇸
Nothing compares to army pt
Hooah
I'm pretty sure half the people in these comments have 0 military experience of any kind and yet still choose to voice their opinions.
What is a PFA? Must be a newer term the Navy uses. I only had the PRT (physical Readiness Test).
Physical Fitness Assessment
The first pfa is literally a fitness graham pacer test and you can pass it by doing the bear fucking minimum
Don’t you work out to a certain level BEFORE you can enter boot camp? Looks to me like a lot of them won’t pass.
20 years...40 PFA's
Lord, why do these kids not come to bootcamp already able to pass the exam??
Didnt see 1 legit push up or sit up....Great Job navy😢😢😢
JAMENSON TRAVELS YOU TUBE CHANNEL SAYS IT ALL ABOUT THIS "REALITY CHECK"... What happened to Lean and mean??
How many push ups do you have to do in that 1 minute??
max out is (and sorry if i’m a bit off) 85 push up’s 3:25 plank and 8:30 1.5Mi and passing is 30Pu 1:15plank and 10:30 run give or take. the navy also has swimming and rowing for certain cases
@@zacharyboullion1804what’s the minimum
😂I’m weak… he’ll nahh
Nobody:
Marines: 😆
🤡
At the end of the 8 weeks u do the pfa right? Or when
Wait. They’re given a PFA and if they don’t pass their first one they’re sent home?
Well, that’s just ridiculous. We never got that option. We were just pushed harder and harder till we passed. 🙄 Weak
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.
they get put into a remedial unit i remember seeing the extra PT units in the track while i was marching over to my training, i think they always had sweats in instead in OCP so they could live a life of PT.I don’t think having someone be supervised with their fitness is that bad especially considering the lives many of these people left behind
@@zacharyboullion1804 When I went through BMT it was awful. Not that I didn’t make it but damn, ruthless, relentless, pushing the ground and “ I was runninggggggg “ everywhere. Lol I shed what weight I did have. At graduation my own parents didn’t recognize me, walked right past me.
Omg. They’re killing me with this new navy. When I was in we had to run the mile and a half in 12. What was hilarious was that it could not be 11:59 or 12:01. So every lap this asshole was either yelling speed up or slow down 😂. Then they took us at midnight to do the EOD/SEAL test.
Imagine showing up to boot camp and not being able to complete the BARE MINIMUM.
If you are going to boot camp soon and you can’t pass your PFA with flying colors…either fix yourself or stay home.
They're running inside and on floor mats 😂😂😂😂 at Ft.Benning it was 2 mile runs through the Georgia mountains & more push up & sit ups then you can think of
I’m from Georgia and image doing this in this Georgia heat which I’m used to the heat up there it’s going to be cold as shit I bet lol
Why do so many people go in without every have worked out before boot camp looks like a breeze I’m trying to be a Navy SEAL so I gotta be ready though
Workout before getting there
Good grief, looks like middle school P.E
It really does
LOL! That test looks so easy! A mile and a half? That is it? Geez!
The goal is warm breathing bodies for the fleet. 😢
How much weight do I have to lose if I’m 5 foot 5 and around 270 pounds
go talk to a recruiter, they’ll probably tape measure you to check your bmi and you can start from there
Probably 50 or 60
They even had a mat to do sit-ups on 😂😂 man I might leave the marines for a better life 😂😂
Our military is going to hell.....
Marine Afghan Vet~
Same days another marine semper fi
Yup I’m 18 and all I see isa. Bunch of panzies 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How
You are going to hell, war criminal.
@@colonelreb8312 Ever heard of airplanes?
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. Let’s not even mention the vast majority of the dough riddled recruits with absolutely no one screaming at them to push through what should be a nightmare but is really just a summer camp for whatever these are.
Your past your prime and sound very bitter how about instead of bashing the younger generation you uplift them and guide them but I doubt you have the capabilities to do so ironically it's not the younger generation that failed it's the older generation that fail them
Stress about who was gonna pass wa da fuc
The recruiter should have told them this is the minimum,,you had better train past that before you get there,,the pt test should be no stress,you should know
How many push ups do you require to pass anybody’s knows ??
Navys bootcamp is easy. I used to workout in the laundry room doing pull ups and pushups while everyone was too busy passing laundry. Easy day🫡
Omg… she asking politely for 5 more? My drill instructor would have had his boot on the back of my neck forcing me to really try and crank them out. Then when I couldn’t he would sit me in a chair and make me watch the entire room get smoked for 30 minutes. I was 265 when I enlisted, after my first year I was 205 and beat the company record for pull-ups in 2 minutes.
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.
I went the Navy boot camp about 20 years ago and it was a joke, Yes they are very soft when it comes to the PT. When I went through basic training they played favoritism on the people couldn't pass the test. Some ppl couldn't even run 3 blocks and the RDCs still passed them. Btw, the RDCs couldn't even pass their own PT test, and how do you expect ppl to pass when you as a RDC is out of shape? Wow..And that's what you call leading by example,? lol ..And I'm telling the truth 💯.
Any tips for boot camp
Indoors and a mat???😂😂😂 we ain’t have nothing but dirt in the army
So if you fail the physical exam do you get kicked out immediately?
No you get 3 chances on different days.
They usually dont kick you out. Theyll roll you into a physical conditioning platoon where you get extra work outs at night and basically just feed you salad.
They run indoors and have mats for sit ups ? 😂
My chief ain’t motivate us like that, he threaten to beat us if we failed and boy did we
I’d rather go to a boot camp or training than school
Salute
Eat Fruit Loops or Fruity Pebbles. This way if it comes back up you got something to look at.
They get soft yellow pads for situps? How sweet lol.
Yellow pads, yellow foot prints??? What difference does it make??
