I am able to do the running and push-ups but the sit ups I am worried about. I don't want to be ASMOD nor held back. Any info would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

its only the final PFA that counts. RDC's will prepare you for the final one. after taps, you could work on your situps, but i wouldnt worry too much about it. the only shipmates that i know that got sent to FIT were the ones that couldnt passed the run. if you're square away, you wont get ASMO and they'll leave you alone. the RDC's only look for the weak and the people that dont care.

Stress that You Believe Its your duty to serve your country and give back + also all the other stuff^ (benefits) of joining the navy!

To prepare just work on your sit ups daly, get a workout plan. Come up with rules to working out, like for me every morning before work I will do 100 push ups and 120 crunches/sit-ups. Every time I go in my room I will do 70pu/70su. If I'm watching tv during a commercial I will do push ups or sit ups till they are done(same with COD during intermission(unless I need to change a class)).

What I do may be a little extreme but come up with a plan similar to that so you can prepare so you are physically ready.
