 Hey guys, this week in the rundown, C&P talked personal policy on Capitol Hill. We have an interview with the director of the 21st Century Sailor Office on the changes to the PFA, and we're looking at the Navy's physical readiness program. This past week, C&P was on Capitol Hill to testify before the Senate Armed Service Military Personal Subcommittee on the Navy's current personal programs and policies. In C&P's opening statement, he spoke on modernizing the Navy to ensure we keep up with the growing competition for high-tech skills. C&P said the Navy faces potential recruiting and retention challenges, but is working to put personal policies in place that will allow the service to be prepared for economic changes or lagging recruiting and retention market that might affect the Navy. To read more on C&P's appearance on the Hill, check out the story on Navy.mil. This week, we have the opportunity to speak with the director of the 21st Century Sailor Office, Rear Admiral Burkhardt, on the changes to the PFA and how COs and command fitness leaders should implement these changes to their command. Admiral Burkhardt spoke on the importance of understanding the changes and how these changes are designed to improve the overall health of sailors. Here's some of that interview. Well, these changes to cycle are significant for the Navy. It'll be the first cycle where sailors and commands are under the new graduated body composition assessment standards. And there'll also be a new three-step method for calculating the BCA to include the first time ever a domino circumference measure. So sailors need to be aware of these changes and know how that they will impact their participation in the cycle. The NAV ADMIN is designed to provide commands with the latest information and rules as we prepare for the first PFA cycle of 2016. Check out NAV ADMIN 061-16 on NPC and read our story on Navy.mil which provides additional details on the changes including the BCA three-step process and administrative steps for commands. Finally, for tools, resources, and links regarding the PFA, check out the Navy's physical readiness program page on NPC. The physical readiness program provides the latest PFA news in addition to providing links to access your PARFQ, BCA, and PRT score sheets. The website also has video demos and sample workouts to help you prepare for the upcoming PRT. Check out the site by going to the NPC homepage.
