2nd and 3rd PRT Test
Just a quick question. Does anyone know if they fail the 2nd or 3rd run do they send them home like failing the first run or do they just hold them back till they pass and delay the graduation?! Thanks in advance.

Hi Tina_Proud Momma welcome. I will put some sites that will explain to you about the run. hope it helps.
On about their fifth business day at the RTC, the new recruits are tested on the 1.5 mile run of the first Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) at boot camp. The initial run standard for male recruits will be 16 minutes 10 seconds and 18 minutes 7 seconds for female recruits. See Navy Sets New Physical Fitness Standard to Start Boot Camp. Those who pass continue with BC. Those who do not pass are moved to FIT and will be retested in 48 hours and must pass in order to continue at the RTC. See Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) and Fitness Improvement Training ... for more information.
FIT: Fitness Improvement Training; Recruits who have failed the Official PFA (most often by failing the swim or run) are sent here for intensive training in order to pass the test prior to having BST. Recruits may also be assigned to FIT within the first few weeks at the RTC; they are typically there for 2 weeks and upon completion will be assigned to a new division with a new PIR date. The program is on Ship 4. (There is more on this in the Page, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) and Fitness Improvement Training .... If your recruit is sent here, join the group, fit program. Also see http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=54872 and http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-04-24/news/ct-met-navy-fitn....)
