A summary is provided down at the bottom.
I have been in the program since August 2010, and I have done three Physical Readiness Tests so far. First one was applying for BDCP in May 2010, second was in November 2010 and third was in May 2010. I recall asking my recruiter at the time while applying (on my third recruiter now), when do the PRTs during BDCP get administered, which he said twice a year, every six months. I do realize you basically ignore what recruiters say and only what you are signing matters.
Regardless, I called my current recruiter on Friday just contact him twice a month as required, and he informs that the PRT will be happening this week (didn't say which day/time yet). Now this is news to me, since I was under the impression it was happening in November, since that was the pattern and what a previous recruiter told me. I haven't been active as of late due to summer work, and the last month I had a minor foot problem and flooding in the area. Anyways, I inform him of this, he said I would pass, basing his answer off of my previous PRT. But he also tells me that the scoring system has changed and there is no longer Good Low, Good Medium, Good High...etc just Good. But he didn't tell me the requirements yet.
I am wondering if anyone knows if the PRT has to be done every six months and what the new scoring system is.
tl;dr : Found out PRT is being done next week instead of November. Needs rules on PRT and newer scoring system.
Thank you.
