NAVADMIN 180/05
1. TO ENSURE OUR PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM TRULY SUPPORTS OUR SAILORS AND
COMMANDS IN MAINTAINING A FIT, FULLY CAPABLE AND MISSION READY FORCE; AN
EXHAUSTIVE REVIEW OF THE NAVY'S PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM IS IN PROGRESS.
EXTENSIVE FLEET INPUT HAS MADE IT CLEAR THE NAVY MUST ADAPT OUR PHYSICAL
READINESS POLICY TO REFLECT THE FLEXIBILITY AND AGILITY OUR MISSION
ENVIRONMENT REQUIRES. A FIT FORCE INCREASES THE WELLNESS AND PRODUCTIVITY
OF OUR PERSONNEL AND DECREASES LOST MAN-HOURS OVER TIME. WE MUST
THEREFORE RECOGNIZE THAT PHYSICAL FITNESS IS A READINESS ISSUE BEST
ADDRESSED BY CREATING A CULTURE THAT PROMOTES HEALTHY LIFESTYLES AND
PROVIDES SAILORS THE LEADERSHIP, TOOLS, AND TIME TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN
FITNESS GOALS.
2. REVISION OF THE PROGRAM WILL OCCUR IN THREE PHASES: REESTABLISHING
COMMAND AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY, PROGRAM EXECUTION IMPROVEMENT, AND
ULTIMATELY, CREATING A CULTURE OF FITNESS. WE ARE HOLDING INDIVIDUALS, AS WELL
AS COMMANDING OFFICERS, ACCOUNTABLE FOR MAINTAINING A FIT LIFESTYLE.
COMMANDERS WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY IN HANDLING SAILORS WHO HAVE
FAILED TO MEET STANDARDS AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL TOOLS AND INCENTIVES FOR
SAILORS WHO NEED HELP. THE GOAL IS TO ESTABLISH A POSITIVE CULTURE OF FITNESS
IN WHICH EXERCISE DURING THE WORKDAY, PURSUIT OF HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES, AND
INCREASED OVERALL WELLNESS IS THE STANDARD FOR OUR SAILORS. THESE POLICY
CHANGES ARE ABOUT PROMOTING FITNESS AND INSTILLING THAT INTO OUR NAVY.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE BELOW LISTED ACTIONS ARE IN EFFECT.
3. LEADERSHIP (IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR IN COMMAND (ISIC)): EMPHASIZE THAT
PHYSICAL READINESS IS BOTH A LEADERSHIP AND INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL FITNESS, THE PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM,
AND ENCOURAGE PERSONNEL TO PURSUE FIT LIFESTYLES. PROVIDE TIME FOR PHYSICAL
TRAINING DURING THE WORK WEEK AND EVALUATE THE PROGRAM TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH TESTING AND REPORTING, FITNESS ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (FEP),
AND OTHER ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM. TREAT PHYSICAL READINESS AS YOU WOULD
RETENTION/ ATTRITION IN FUTURE FITNESS REPORTS ON YOUR SUBORDINATE OFFICER
AND SENIOR ENLISTED LEADERS.
4. COMMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: CO/OICS ARE REMINDED THAT THEIR COMMAND WILL
HAVE AN EFFECTIVE FEP IN PLACE FOR THOSE SAILORS WHO ARE NOT, OR ARE ONLY
MARGINALLY WITHIN STANDARDS. SAILORS IN THE FEP WILL BE DOCUMENTED TO
INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, A RECORD OF THE SAILOR'S PHYSICAL FITNESS
ASSESSMENT (PFA) DEFICIENCY AND A DETAILED PLAN ON HOW THE COMMAND AND
MEMBER WILL OVERCOME THIS DEFICIENCY. A LOG OF THE SAILOR'S PROGRESS WILL BE
KEPT AND AT A MINIMUM WILL INCLUDE THE FREQUENCY, INTENSITY, TIME, AND TYPE
(FITT PRINCIPLE) OF PHYSICAL TRAINING (PT) SESSIONS HE/SHE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED
IN, AND MONTHLY PFA RESULTS AS RECORDED IN PRIMS. FEP SHALL BE CONDUCTED
DURING THE WORKDAY AT LEAST THREE TIMES WEEKLY FOR ONE HOUR PER SESSION.
FOR BODY COMPOSITION ASSESSMENT (BCA) FAILURES, COMMANDS ARE DIRECTED TO
CONCENTRATE ON DECREASING BODY FAT. MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE FITNESS
PROGRESSION FOR SAILORS WHO FAILED THE BCA IS A ONE PERCENT DECREASE IN
BODY FAT PER MONTH, BUT NO GREATER THAN A FIVE PERCENT LOSS OF BODY WEIGHT
IN ANY WEEK.
5. SAILORS WHO DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN STANDARDS WILL BE PROCESSED FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE SEPARATION (ADSEP) PER MILPERSMAN ARTICLE 1910-170 UTILIZING
THE FOLLOWING PHASED APPROACH:
A. JULY 2005: CO/OICS AUTHORIZED, WITH ISIC CONCURRENCE, TO INITIATE
ADSEP PROCESSING OF PERSONNEL WHO FAILED THE PFA THREE OR MORE TIMES IN
THE
MOST RECENT FOUR YEARS AND IN THEIR JUDGEMENT ARE NOT TRYING, OR INDICATE
THEY ARE UNWILLING TO TRY, TO MEET STANDARDS.
B. JANUARY 2006: CO/OICS SHALL REVIEW PERSONNEL WHO FAILED THE PFA
THREE OR MORE TIMES IN THE MOST RECENT FOUR YEARS AND ALSO FAILED THE FALL
2005 PFA. CO/OICS ARE AUTHORIZED WITH ISIC CONCURRENCE TO INITIATE ADSEP
PROCESSING FOR THOSE SAILORS WHO ARE NOT MAKING REASONABLE PROGRESS
TOWARD MEETING STANDARDS.
C. JULY 2006: MANDATORY ADSEP PROCESSING FOR PERSONNEL WHO FAILED THE
PFA THREE OR MORE TIMES IN THE MOST RECENT FOUR YEARS AND FAILED THE SPRING
2006 PFA. CO/OICS MAY REQUEST THE ISIC WAIVE ADSEP PROCESSING FOR SPECIAL
CASES. PERSONNEL WHO FAILED THE PFA THREE OR MORE TIMES IN THE MOST RECENT
FOUR YEARS BUT PASSED THE SPRING 2006 PFA MUST CONTINUE PASSING THE PFA
DURING EACH SUBSEQUENT CYCLE UNTIL NO LONGER POSSESSING THREE FAILURES IN
A FOUR-YEAR PERIOD.
6. PROMOTION AND ADVANCEMENT: OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MEMBERS WILL BE
INELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION, ADVANCEMENT, OR FROCKING IF THEY FAILED THE MOST
RECENT OFFICIAL PFA. MEMBERS MAY REGAIN ELIGIBILITY BY PASSING A MONTHLY
PRACTICE FEP PFA. IF THE MEMBER IS NOT WITHIN STANDARDS BY THE PROMOTION
CYCLE LIMITING DATE, THE ADVANCEMENT AUTHORITY WILL BE WITHDRAWN PER
BUPERSINST 1430.16E (FOR ENLISTED PERSONNEL) OR DELAYED PROMOTION OR
REMOVAL FROM THE PROMOTION LIST (FOR OFFICERS) PER SECNAVINST 1420.1A.
7. PFA RETAKE: PERSONNEL THAT FAIL THE PFA, MAY RETEST AND RECORD THE BEST
SCORE ACHIEVED WITHIN THE COMMAND'S OFFICIAL PFA CYCLE.
8. BODY COMPOSITION ASSESSMENT (BCA) EXCEPTION: FOR PERSONNEL WHO SCORE AN
OVERALL OUTSTANDING OR EXCELLENT, WITHOUT A SINGLE EVENT ON THE PHYSICAL
READINESS TEST SCORED BELOW "GOOD", CO/OICS ARE AUTHORIZED TO INCREASE
NAVY BCA CRITERIA TO THE DOD MAXIMUM STANDARD OF 26 PERCENT FOR MALES AND
36 PERCENT FOR FEMALES. THE INDIVIDUAL MUST PRESENT A PROFESSIONAL MILITARY
APPEARANCE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION.
9. THE NEXT PHASE IS TO ENACT PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS TO REFLECT THE
TWENTYFIRST CENTURY NAVY IN WHICH WE SERVE. THE NEW PROGRAM WILL NOT ONLY
ENCOURAGE POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL CHANGES, BUT MAY INCLUDE NEW TESTING OPTIONS
AND INCENTIVES, AND WILL ALSO PROVIDE ACCOUNTABILITY AND REWARDS FOR
COMMANDERS. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO TRANSITION FROM OUR CURRENT CULTURE OF
TESTING TO A CULTURE OF FITNESS. SOME OF THE CHANGES AND RATIONALE THAT WE
ARE CONSIDERING ARE:
A. ADDING THE ELLIPTICAL AND STATIONARY CYCLE AS OPTIONS FOR THE AEROBIC
PORTION OF THE TEST.
B. SIMPLIFYING THE CURRENT PRT SCORING CATEGORIES TO SUPERIOR, AVERAGE,
AND MARGINAL AND TO REFLECT THOSE CATEGORIES IN BLOCK 20 ON THE FITREP/EVAL.
FOR THOSE SAILORS WHO SCORE A SUPERIOR ON THE PFA, THE NEXT PFA COULD BE
WAIVED AT THE CO S DISCRETION. SAILORS WHO FAIL OR SCORE MARGINAL WOULD BE
PLACED IN THE FITNESS ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM.
C. ADDING BODY FAT MEASUREMENTS FOR ALL SAILORS TO HEIGHT, WEIGHT, BLOOD
PRESSURE AND CHOLESTEROL DATA COLLECTED DURING THE ANNUAL HEALTH
EXAMINATION TO AID THE NAVY, AS WELL AS THE SAILOR, IN JUDGING OVERALL FITNESS
AND HEALTH.
D. INCORPORATING A STANDARDIZED PT UNIFORM THAT WILL BE WORN DURING PFAS
AND COMMAND GROUP PT.
E. IMPROVING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SOLUTIONS TO PROVIDE THE
NECCESSARRY TOOLS TO ALLOW ISIC VISIBILITY OVER SUBORDINATE COMMAND FITNESS
SCORES AND PROGRAM TO COMPARE THIER SUBORDINATE UNITS.
10. THE APPROVED CHANGES OUTLINED IN THIS NAVADMIN AND OTHERS ARE REFLECTED
IN OPNAVINST 6110.1H WHICH WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE AT:
WWW:/NEDS.DAPS.DLA.MIL/6110.HTM. THE NAVY PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM
(COMNAVPERSCOM (PERS-676) WEBSITE AT
WWW.NPC.NAVY.MIL/COMMANDSUPPORT/PHYSICALREADINESS WILL ALSO CONTAIN THIS
DIRECTIVE AND OTHER FITNESS, NUTRITION, AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT REFERENCES.
11. TO ACHIEVE BOTH THE CURRENT REVISIONS AND THOSE TO FOLLOW, COMMAND
SUPPORT IS PARAMOUNT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERSHIP TO ESTABLISH A
COVENANT WITH SAILORS TO PROMOTE FITNESS BY PROVIDING THE TOOLS FOR
SUCCESS TO OUR SAILORS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE FAILED, TO HELP THEM
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE FEP AND SUBSEQUENTLY PASS THE PFA.
12. AS WITH ANY CHANGE, THERE WILL BE CHALLENGES. THE CURRENT CHANGES ARE
THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS TO ESTABLISHING A CULTURE OF FITNESS.
COMMANDERS WILL BE CHALLENGED TO FOSTER A POSITIVE FITNESS CULTURE AND
SAILORS WILL BE CHALLENGED TO LIVE THIS CULTURE AND HOLD THEIR FELLOW
SHIPMATES TO THE STANDARD. THIS WILL BE A JOURNEY LONG OVERDUE. WITH YOUR
HELP, WE WILL GET THERE.
