What must a 26-year-old female do if her overall PRT score is classified as Failure?

A 26-year-old female who receives an overall PRT score classified as Failure will not be eligible to reenlist in the Navy without obtaining a Readiness Waiver. This policy underscores the importance of meeting the physical readiness standards necessary for service members, as physical fitness is a critical component of military readiness.

When someone fails the PRT, it indicates that they do not meet the required standards, which can have repercussions on their military career, including limitations on progressing in their current role or being able to join duties that require a higher level of fitness. Therefore, obtaining a Readiness Waiver becomes essential for those who wish to continue their service despite not meeting physical fitness requirements.

While there may be options or recommendations for improving fitness or being reevaluated, without the waiver, the individual faces barriers in their military career, including reenlistment opportunities.
