To be honest, it's been so long - I don't even remember. I've always been a 2nd Class kina guy, so it probably wasn't great.

Is the toe touch still part of the Navy PRT, or at least the one run at API?
EDIT: And if so, does it go like this:
OUTSTANDING:
HIGH: Can dislocate shoulder, get out of handcuffs, and maintain contact with toes.
MEDIUM: Touches elbows to toes.
LOW: Touches Fingertips to toes.

I don't know if this is the same as in the fleet, but in my NROTC command failing the sit and reach doesn't constitute a failure of the physical portion of the test. I don't know if this is doctrine from the books or if it's just something that's gotten confused at our level.

That is correct, but for what it's worth, in my ten years in the Navy, I haven't seen anyone fail the sit-reach. I'm sure it's happened, but I haven't seen it.
You must not have been in the right place. I've seen lots of NROTC Freshmen fail the PFA. We had one guy that failed all four categories of the PRT. :yuck_125: He ended up dropping the program.

This was of course back in the day where the Sit-Reach was Pass/Fail. Hopefully that clears it up.
