If a member is retained by an ADSEP board after 3 or more PFA failures, are they eligible for PCS orders?

The correct answer is that a member who has been retained by an ADSEP board after three or more Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) failures is eligible for Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders if they receive a readiness waiver. This is due to the requirement that personnel must meet certain readiness standards to be assigned to a new duty station or to execute PCS orders. The readiness waiver serves as an exception that acknowledges individual circumstances, allowing the member to be considered for PCS despite their previous fitness failures.

This reflects the Navy's commitment to maintaining a ready and fit fleet while also recognizing that there are situations where a member may still be able to perform effectively in a new duty assignment, provided they are deemed ready through the waiver process. It is a mechanism in place that helps balance personnel management with operational readiness.
