As far as the order of the PRT/PFT, you do the toe-touch first, then the push ups, sit ups, then on to the 1.5 mile run. I think the "rule" on sit-ups is that you have to rest in the up position, and the same with the push-ups. They'll brief you on all of that before you take it, though.

One thing to keep in mind about the Navy's "great" new PRT (PFA) program, is that you can only score as high as your weakest event. Example (and nobody better laugh): At my last PRT, I knew that I could not run faster than 10:00 (Excellent Low). So, even though I knew I could max the push-ups and sit-ups, I only did 90 and 74, respectively (Excellent Medium, or one category higher).

I've heard that the Navy is re-thinking the scoring system, but until they make a change, you're better off conserving energy on your strong events for use on your weaker events.
