PRT

They usually send you to a fitness program for a few weeks and you continue to work out until you can pass. After a while though if they don't see you making progress they can discharge you. Just keep on trying and get better, that's whats most important.

More on the PRT. I have another question. I have been training for the PRT for some time. mostly cardio since that is where i had the most trouble. Since my ship date was moved up 5 months to the end of this month i don't think i am physically ready for the push ups! I can barely do 10 before i collapse. I have 16 days to train my arms. I don't have a gym membership. Does anyone have some advice to help?

Do push ups is my advice. Just be ready for a hard time physically, When I went to boot we had someone who couldn't do 10 and he passed his final PFA. You'll get there, just work on it. Planks also help with pushups cause they're about staying up and working the core more than arms.

OK thank you for the advice.
