Physical and mental strength are highly correlated and nowhere is this more clearly demonstrated than in the military with the branches' respective physical fitness assessments. In order to more deeply understand and address the issues facing current service men and women and to display leadership, we are calling on all Secretaries of Defense, present and future, to pass the weigh-in and physical portion of the Navy Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). This is the most lenient of the four branches in terms of allowable weight and physical performance to not include a walking portion. The assessment will be conducted in accordance with current Navy testing cycles, beginning with Cycle 2, 2021. Failure to meet standards will require placement on an improvement plan, with two failures in three resulting in leaving office by the end of the current fiscal year.
