Navy Gets Tough on Unfit Sailors
Sunday March 15, 2009
Last week I announced that the Corps was getting tough on overweight Marines. This week the Navy has made a similar announcement, concerning Sailors who continue to fail the Navy's semi-annual fitness test. According to Navy Administration Message 073/09, effective immediately, active duty Sailors who have three or more test failures in the past four years are ineligible for reenlistment, extrension, and change of assignment, unless they receive a waiver from the Navy Personnel Command.
Drilling reservists who three or more failures in the past four years shall be processed for administrative separation, without the option of being transferred to the individual ready reserve (IRR).
