 The holiday season is over and leftover food is gone. Sailors must remember they are still required to be in shape. As of January 1st, the new PT regulations in Navadmin 178-15 are in effect. Some of the changes to be aware of include an updated ParfQ to better assess the health of sailors, new opportunities for sailors to pass to BCA, the number of failures allowed has changed from three failures in four years to just two failures in three years, and the establishment of a gopher green program to encourage healthy eating, a shore, and a float. In addition, commanding officers have the option to conduct PFA spot checks to ensure sailors maintain physical fitness. According to the Navadmin, the Navy is striving to guide sailors toward a healthier and mission readiness-oriented lifestyle.
