CFL/ACFLs, PRIMS Known Issues: 1. BCA Miscalculation. Sailors who are borderline for the BCA may receive an inaccurate result. Therefore, CFLs should: Verify all borderline Sailors against PRP Guide-4, Tables 2 or 3. Use the calculators available via MyNavy Portal and/or the Official PFA App for additional verification. Submit an LOC with the Sailor’s official BCA/PRT Score Sheets to the PRP Office via asknmcc@us.navy.mil if an error is suspected for PFA Cycle-1, 2026. 2. You may have Sailors who are receiving an email from PRIMS@navy.mil (this email is not monitored) stating they have been disenrolled from FEP and passed their PRT. This appears to be isolated to members whose PFA Cycle-1, 2026 PRT overall score is “Excellent Low” or better. PFA Cycle-1, 2026 records are reflected correctly in PRIMS and this notification is being sent in error. The PRP Team is in the process of getting this corrected.
