 A new NAV admin was released August 3rd, detailing the upcoming changes to the Navy Physical Readiness Program. By Samuel Bill Moran, the Chief of Naval Personnel spoke of the upcoming changes and achieving an overall fitter naval force. Well, I hope Sailor's takeaway from this is that as opposed to a system that was punitive in nature, i.e. you pass or you fail and you get so many failures and then we process you out, we don't really talk about better health. This program is designed to talk and incentivize about better health for Sailors and not be a test on a pass-fail basis. We're still going to have standards, we're still going to have a way to measure better health and a continuing way to measure mission readiness through the PRT, but overall it's about better health, overall health for Sailors. Other changes will include the Physical Activity Risk Factor Questionnaire or PARF-Q and the Body Composition Assessment or BCA. For more information, visit AH.mil.
