Discuss Sit Ups in Health & Fitness on Navy Net; Im due to complete the fitness test later this month... When completing the sit up phase of the fitness test are you allowed to have your feet anchored? Cheers...

    There will be somebody holding your feet yes. You won't be tested on pressups and situps on your PJFT though. They are only included on the PRNC and at phase 1 Raleigh.

    Sit ups and press ups are being brought in for a number of establishments as a trial. They will not count towards the pass / fail of the RNFT but will be recorded (I assume to inform the work on what the grades should be). There are diagrams of the exercises in the recent RNTM for those who can access it. As stated above, feet are held.

    I didn't attend his funeral but wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it.

    In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.
    They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....
    It is an utmost proudness of myself to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire.
