The Physical Readiness Test (PRT) is the Navy's way of maintaining a standard of necessary physical fitness. Cycle 1 PRT of 2017 is scheduled to take place in early May, and Sailors are advised to prepare themselves by working out and becoming acquainted with the standards for their age and gender. The PRT can be broken down into two main components: the Body Composition Assessment (BCA) and the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). Sailors are advised to complete self-assessments after looking up their scores, to ensure they are prepared for the test this May. Sailors can obtain further information or assistance by contacting one of their command's CFLs or divisional assistant CFLs.
