Difficulty passing running test
My son, David, is currently in Basic Training - scheduled PIR 10/15/10. He was unable to pass his running test the first time and he was off by about a minute. Other than that, he is thriving and with Navy Life and has no complaints and is doing well in other areas. I'm hoping that he passes so that he can graduate with his group. If he doesn't pass the running test when his unit does Battlestations, does that mean that he doesn't do Battlestations with his unit? If he hasn't passed the running in time for his PIR, how long does he have to pass before he gets discharged? If he is delayed, does he do his Battlestations with another Unit? Hope someone can provide info to at least some of my questions.

He is most likely finished by now but the truth of the matter is, they don't want to see sailors fail and give them several opportunities to pass and also get him to go to more PT so he can pass when he builds more stamina.

They have to run a timed 1.5 miles. If they cannot run it quickly enough, and they are given several attempts, they fail out of boot camp. They get 13.15 minutes, and they have to pass this annually in teh Navy. There is more time alloted as they get older.

If they're doing it indoors, they'll be running in the gym where there is literally no air. When you breathe, it's like breathing other people's air that they have already breathed out. The PRT in the gym is 12 laps. I don't know how they do it outside because when I was in boot camp, it was December and it was snowing so we did most of our running indoors. Though the RDCs did not hesitate to drop us in the snow while we marched to make us do push-ups. But I was talking to someone who had just recently graduated from boot camp and she said they don't do that anymore.
