If you do not hold your new shipmate accountable who will? You are only failing him by letting him slide. You should push them to want to better themselves and by not"grading" them properly you are not doing your job. It isn't like our PFA standards are difficult to pass. If they can't pass them maybe the Navy isn't for them.

oh, yea, i still intend to pass it, I'm up to being able to do 30 pushups now, was only able to do maybe 10 a month ago.

one other conflicting thing, is the minimum that we need to do "satisfactory" or "good"? I remember reading that you need to make "good" to pass your PFA, but then other ppl say "satisfactory" is enough?

That really shouldn't be a factor. Do as many as you possibly can. If you aim for something like Satis or Good then you'll think "I just need to do these" and that will hurt your performance. Ignore the numbers, just AMRAP

I need to know because I need to prioritize what to work on with what little time I have after work and between swimming lessons. I can see your reasoning, but it really doesn't help me here.

Ive heard that it basically is an unwritten rule, but you never know who youre going to get. Best is to just be ready to pass on your own.

It goes back to the same thing. Aim for the highest possible score, AMRAP. Design your workout around that. Doing a push up/ Sit up work out takes like ten minutes max, so it's not like you're pressed for time.

To pass, you should be in the "Good" catergory.
