This NAVADMIN announces changes to references (a) through (d) for the Calendar Year 2025 (CY2025) Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) cycle (1 February 2025 to 30 November 2025) for a Body Composition Assessment (BCA) and Age-Adjusted Standards (AAS) exemption for exceptional Physical Readiness Test (PRT) performance. 2. Navy's Culture of Excellence 2.0 requires critical re-evaluation of our policies and procedures to build Great People, Great Leaders, and Great Teams while developing Sailors in mind, body, and spirit. We are modernizing our BCA by recognizing that our current policies and procedures can be improved to better assess every single Sailor to determine a Sailor's overall physical readiness. 3. BCA and AAS PRT Exemption. Effective for the CY2025 PFA cycle: a. Sailors who do not meet official Navy BCA (Step-3) standards and score EXCELLENT-LOW or above on their official PRT will receive an overall PFA PASS and be exempt from participation in the Fitness Enhancement Program (FEP). b. Sailors who do not meet AAS and score EXCELLENT-LOW or above on their official PRT will be exempt from participation in the FEP. For more information on AAS, refer to reference (c). c. The purpose of this exemption is to recognize that some Sailors who do not meet the BCA standard are still able to maintain operational readiness. This policy exemption also aligns with Department of Defense policy in reference (e). d. A Sailor must participate in all three modalities (pushups, forearm plank, and run or alternate cardio, if authorized) of the PRT to be eligible for this exemption. e. A Sailor who meets exemption requirements must complete one of the nutrition education options below per reference (d). These nutrition education options are the same options that FEP enrollees are required to complete. (1) Nutrition Consult for Individual Visit or Class with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). This option allows for the participant to meet, a minimum of one visit, individually (e.g., one-on-one) with a RDN or attend an appropriate nutrition class. Classes are typically offered at the MTF or at a local Health Promotion and Wellness Center. (2) ShipShape Program. This six-module evidence-based program is the official Navy weight management program designed to assist members with making positive behavior changes to promote healthy weight loss. Participants selecting this nutrition education option are encouraged to self-refer to the program by contacting their local Medical Treatment Facility or Health promotion and Wellness Center (3) Nutrition Self-Study Course. This course is available on the Official Navy PFA App. Participants will learn about nutrition basics, making healthier food choices, portion control, and behavior modifications necessary for healthy weight management. (4) Mission Nutrition Course. This is a standardized, science-based two-day course focused on improving individual nutritional knowledge and awareness. The course is available at Navy Fitness centers that have a certified instructor. More information is available at https://www.navyfitness.org/fitness/nutrition/mission-nutrition. (5) Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling System (NOFFS). The Fueling Series and the Virtual Meal Builder provides Sailors with the tools that support healthy nutrition choices and the creation of individualized meal plans in both shore-based and operational environments. The Command Fitness Leader (CFL)/Assistant CFL must review the NOFFS-nutrition section provided on https://www.navyfitness.org/fitness/nutrition/noffsfueling-series or within the NOFFS app with the member for this nutrition option. f. The CFL is responsible for managing a Sailor's nutrition enrollment in the Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS-2). Upon selecting a nutrition education option, Sailors must inform their CFL of which option they choose and provide proof of completion or progression within 30 days of nutrition enrollment. The completed education option is only valid for one PFA cycle. g. The exceptional PRT exemption score criteria will be re- evaluated after the CY2025 PFA cycle. h. References (b) and (d) will be updated to reflect this policy change and provide implementation guidance prior to the CY2025 PFA cycle. 4. The point of contact for questions is MyNavy Career Center at (833) 330-MNCC or askmncc.fct@navy.mil. 5. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 6.

YORKTOWN, Va. (WAVY) — A Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sailor was charged last week in connection with the death of another sailor. On April 28, 22-year-old Master at Arms Petty Officer Third Class Lyndon Joel Cosgriff-Flax was said to have fallen overboard during a training exercise just after 8 p.m. on the York River. The initial report stated Cosgriff-Flax sustained fatal injuries during the fall.

TRICARE Open Season: Understanding Who’s Eligible

China deployed naval and air forces to track and follow a U.S. Navy reconnaissance plane as it transited Tuesday over the Taiwan Strait, the Chinese military said, amid simmering tension between the two superpowers over the fate of the self-ruled island of Taiwan. Colonel Cao Jun, a spokesperson for the Chinese army's Eastern Theater Command Air Force, condemned the U.S. for carrying out the flight and said it had threatened peace and stability in the region.

WASHINGTON — The Office of Management and Budget today delivered a request to Congress for approximately $5.7 billion in emergency funding to account for unexpected “shortfalls” in the Navy’s Virginia-class fast attack submarine program, according to a senior Navy official. The emergency funding request was accompanied by a separate “anomaly” that would permit the service to continue funding the Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine program in the event lawmakers pass a continuing resolution prior to when government funding is set to expire on Dec. 20. (Anomaly is the term the Defense Department uses when it seeks permission from Congress to spend money outside the traditional constraints of a continuing resolution.)

The Pentagon has revealed the existence of a forward-deployed task force in the Philippines focused on supporting Manila’s maritime operations in the South China Sea. Task Force-Ayungin, composed of American service members and named after the Philippine designation for Second Thomas Shoal, was seen for the first time on Wednesday during Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s visit to U.S. and Philippine troops in Palawan. “The task force is comprised of U.S. forces providing our Philippines allies with enhanced cooperation and interoperability for their maritime operations,” reads a Monday statement from Pentagon spokesman Maj. Pete Nguyen provided to USNI News.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – The new 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine is now available to TRICARE beneficiaries, at doctor’s offices and pharmacies. Getting vaccinated helps protect not just you, but also your family members and fellow community members. "The COVID-19 virus keeps changing. That's why we have a new vaccine to match the virus strains that are making people sick now," said Jeannine Pickrell, RN, Director of Population Health, TRICARE Health Plan, at the Defense Health Agency. "The benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risks. Even if you do get COVID-19 after vaccination, you're much less likely to get seriously ill."

A former U.S. Navy officer has been sentenced for conspiring to steal over $850,000 in military gear and selling it to buyers in other countries, federal officials said. Richard Allen, 53, pleaded guilty Aug. 29 to conspiracy and six counts of money laundering. Now, he’ll serve 18 months in prison followed by three years of federal supervised release, the United States Attorney’s Office said in a Nov. 21 news release.

The U.S. Naval Safety Command has released its accident numbers for FY2024, and the report shows a rising rate of serious mishaps in the fleet. The number of afloat Class A mishaps - accidents resulting in a fatality, permanent disability, or property damage over $2.5 million - rose to a decade-high number, led by accidents in the surface fleet and a spike in casualties at Military Sealift Command. To be sure, the statistics suggest that the Navy loses far fewer personnel at sea than on land. The average rate of class A mishaps is many times higher on shore, where personal motor vehicle accidents claim the lives of about 40 sailors a year - the majority in motorcycle crashes. (On average, off-duty motorcycle riding is the most dangerous activity in the Navy.)

The Navy ousted the commanding officer of the Airborne Command & Control Squadron 115 on Friday, making him the third commanding officer the service has fired in November. Cmdr. Charles Diehl was removed from his leadership role due to a “loss of confidence in his ability to command,” according to the service.

The release of a police report with graphic details of sexual assault allegations against Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to be Defense secretary, is stoking concerns among current and former Defense Department officials that the agency could backslide on efforts to put an end to those abuses in the military. Officials fear that Hegseth, whose nomination had already caused controversy due to his opposition to women serving in combat, could also hurt efforts to recruit women into the military. “To have someone who now at least has had a police investigation and paid a victim, enforced a [nondisclosure agreement] regarding a sexual assault sends a horrific message,” said a former DOD official. “It likely means that any progress the department has made regarding sexual assault, sexual harassment is going to be at best, repealed, if not completely eliminated.”

On November 20, 2021, 19,000 gallons of jet fuel leaked from Red Hill Bulk Fuel Facility, a fuel depot located just 100 feet above state-designated drinking water near Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. At least 6,100 patients reported a wide range of symptoms, from gastrointestinal and neurological damage to babies’ skin “as red as our flag’s.” Despite residents’ tap water smelling like jet fuel, the Navy maintained that the water was safe to drink. Amid a groundswell of public complaints, the Navy finally shut off the Red Hill pumps on November 29, a full nine days after the leak.
