And it's hardly demanding.

http://www.navy-prt.com, while not an officially endorsed Navy page, has everything you need and more about PT scores.

lol 3 mile pride run. Pretty sure that is cancelled forever indefinitely because some guy fainted while doing it.

Someone in our division would have TTO'd just hearing the words 3 mile pride run.

Do you have to score "good" on all three areas of the PFA or can you score "satisfactory" on one area and higher on others for an average of good? I am not yet good at pushups but great at curl ups, so I am wondering if you just have to have an average score of 60 or have to have a minimum of 60 on all three parts? This is for RTC that I am asking as that requires the good while other tests after RTC only require satisfactory.

Had a guy just get back only get the min. score on all 3 and was good, You wont get honor grad or anything but you will pass with the minimum. Satisfactory is there for a reason I guess, still passing

[Auridan]

satisfactory (adjective)
1. giving or affording satisfaction; fulfilling all demands or requirements.

By definition, the "satisfactory" score is passing. (Obviously you WANT to do better, but you do not technically HAVE to.)

If you fail any section of the PFA, you fail the whole thing. You could max out push-ups and curl-ups, but be one second behind "sat" on your run, and you would fail even though your average score would be (I think) in the "Excellent" field.
