Thatâs where I met a fellow Marine whom Iâm going to call âWilliam.â William was quick-witted, magnetic, reckless in the way only a 19-year-old far from home can be. We hit it off immediately. On days off, weâd hit clubs and discos. On duty, we joked, argued, and covered for each other. It wasnât profound, but it was consistent. The kind of friendship that forms in repetitionâforged in boredom, pressure, and shared volume. We did everything together. -

CFL/ACFLs, PRIMS Known Issues: 1. BCA Miscalculation. Sailors who are borderline for the BCA may receive an inaccurate result. Â 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 Sailorâs 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 âExcellent Lowâ or better. PFA Cycle-1, 2026 records are reflected correctly in PRIMS and this notification is being sent in error. Â The PRP Team is in the process of getting this corrected.
