cjbmom, the PRT is the same as the PFA that she passed at the RTC. The difference is probably the humidity in TX. She has to pass the PRT at least twice a year from now on. She needs to get her confidence back up and push if she wants to continue as a Sailor because not passing could be the end of her career at some point. Failure of the PFA three times in a four year period results in mandatory administrative separation and they don't have to be consecutive. Failure of the PRT at "A" School for MA may result in being reclassified to another rating due to the physical requirements of the MA rating.

After BC it should be FEP (Fitness Enhancement Program; a program for Sailors that includes both physical fitness activities and diet and nutritional awareness to assist the Sailor in achieving and maintaining the level of fitness needed to remain in the Navy.) rather that FIT (Fitness Improvement Training, a program at the RTC). 

She did it at BC not long ago, she can do it now. Does she have a buddy who will run with her? That helps sometimes.

So, my daughter called crying this morning.  She's having a hard time with the running - which she and I both knew she would.  She has almost passed out both times so they told her she will have to go to FIT.  She's devastated - I told her to breathe, it will all be ok.  Any advice?  I don't know how all this works...

Thanks lemonelephant.  I'm working on her confidence, I know she can do it - she has to know it!  She's basing her concern on information given to her by others from BC, not from people in her A school

cjbmom, Since she made it through BC, she can make it through the PT at Lackland. She needs to be more self-motivated than at BC though. There are other things that are more difficult than the PT. See Break down week by week.

Luvnailzzz, Break down week by week gives some of the things your Sailor can have.

sparkiel, yes, MA "A" School is only at Lackland now. It is 7 weeks after classing up. See Break down week by week for more info.

Any other moms of daughters on this group?  My daughter just arrived there on Saturday.  She's pretty nervous about the PT, any advice?
