FIT program at boot camp

[Dianakit12]

As sad as it is, no one fails the push-ups or sit ups unless your shipmate fails you. Your parter will usually give them to you. I was placed in the FIT program for failing my run by 8 seconds. It's not horrible, but you don't want it (of course). For push-ups, you just have to keep your back straight and bend your arms to 90 degrees or more and you have to touch your thighs with the sit-ups while your arms are crossed, hands on your collar bone.

Your shipmate is the one who watches your pushups? I guess that makes sense. There's so many of us and not everyone can have an official making sure we do what we are supposed to do. Still sad though.

I am also having very slow progress with my pushups. I will be proud when I pass the tests though!
