      CFL/ACFLs, Updated PRP FAQ (FEB 2026). CNIC CFL Course Email Address Updated. All CFL Course package submissions must now be submitted to usn.ncr.cnicwashingtondc.mbx.cfl-training@us.navy.mil. Missing Birthdates Issue Affecting PRIMS Records. A data feed error from the Authoritative Data Environment is causing missing birthdates to be fed into PRIMS for some Sailors, resulting in incorrect PRT score calculations. Developers have programmed affected PRIMS records to default to "Outstanding-High" until the issue is resolved to avoid unfairly penalizing those affected. In this scenario, CFL/ACFLs should use the PFA Calculator in the Official Navy PFA app to assess PRT results and the potential need for further PRP actions. Once resolved, affected PRIMS records will be automatically updated to reflect accurate PRT scores. PFA Calculator Issue in MyNavy Portal (MNP). We are aware of an issue with Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) rounding that may cause an inaccurate BCA result. Developers are working to resolve the issue. Sailors can still use the official Navy PFA app for accurate calculations. Only PFA results entered into PRIMS are official. Navy’s Noom Digital Health Program.
