In response to a Sailor's previous PFA failures, what should the CFL do first?

The best initial action for a Command Fitness Leader (CFL) in response to a Sailor's previous Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) failures is to check their PRIMS data. This is important because PRIMS (Physical Readiness Information Management System) provides essential information about the Sailor's PFA history, including past failures, scores, and overall fitness progress. By reviewing this data, the CFL can gain insights into the specific issues affecting the Sailor's performance and tailor an effective intervention or action plan.

Understanding the context of the Sailor's history allows the CFL to make informed decisions about the next steps, whether that involves scheduling training sessions, providing nutritional advice, or filing a report with the command. The data reviewed will serve as a foundational tool for creating a supportive environment that addresses the Sailor's individual needs and fosters improvement.
