Becoming a Sailor, Part 4: Get Fit or Go Home

In order to get through boot camp, recruits must pass a physical fitness test. The Navy has raised its standards in recent years — making sure all future sailors have a basic level of fitness. Failure to perform the required run, curl ups and push ups can get you sent home.

Follow along in our series "Becoming a Sailor" to see what Navy recruits experience as they go through boot camp at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, the Navy's only recruit training facility. (Military Times/Syndicated in Partnership with Sandboxx )
