I was in H class with a guy that failed the run, but passed push-ups/ situps. So they shouldn't kick you out but you will roll to H.

The first week pt test you mush get at least sat medium to continue training. The next PT test is around week 4 you have to hit sat high. The next PT test around week 8 you have to hit good low. The final pt test to graduate it goes back down to sat medium.

When did you start preparing for OCS?

I found out that I was selected on Jun 7. My report date was July 1st. I told my recruiter that wasn't able to pass the PFA push-up standards but she told me they couldn't push my date back.

Do you know if it Will be difficult to get reselected? They are giving me an entry-level separation RE-3K.

You never answered my question. When did you start preparing physically for OCS?

What was the flight physical like? I think I have heard it was during the first week. I've done some searching but I haven't seen any posts about what they do during the physical. Since you were just there I assume you have updated info anyway.
Similar to MEPS. You piss in a cup, get blood drawn, take some eye tests, spread your buttcheeks, etc. You also get your anthro's measured and take an EKG. There's probably more, but it's nothing out of the ordinary.

What about chest and back X-rays? I've heard differing takes on that.
I didn't get either of those. At least I don't remember getting them. The only x-rays I remember are for wisdom teeth. @Chairman4Life do you remember if we did anything with chest or back?

Jesus. I'm really, really sorry to hear that. What were they doing in that 6 weeks in H class that didn't make too much of a difference? Did they bar you from using equipment (barbells, benches, etc.) and just made you do push-ups?
What a lot of these programs don't mention is you'll eventually hit a strength ceiling. Those guys didn't get big pecs and bulging biceps from push-ups. You need the push-ups for the muscle memory, but you need the lifting for the strength and muscular development. Think about why females need to do so few push-ups by comparison and are able to get away with quite a bit. If you're a bench press beast and at a reasonable body fat %, you'll find getting better at push-ups a lot easier than a guy whose only ever physical activity was running cross-country.

Or he simply didn’t bother preparing enough for OCS.

I can't argue with you there.
I'm curious if the Navy adopted something like the new Army PFT if that would help more people. It emphasizes functional strength a lot more than diarrhea bodyweight exercises.
