There is a debate here amongst several people here at the NROTC unit with regards to pt and the role that it plays for the officers.
Several people think that it is all about setting the example on a weekly basis and that an officer should be seen as a person that conducts pt on a regular basis, and continually out performs the people they are leading in this department.
I personally feel that the Navy has set standards that are tested on a regular basis. I don't think that an officer needs to be seen, by his division or those junior to him, conducting pt for the sole purpose that they see him. I think that as long as an officer meets the standards set by the Navy, and any goals that they set for themself is good enough.
So, my questions go along these lines.
1. In a fitrep that you have received outside of a training command, to what degree did your prt performance affect it?
2. What are your thoughts on where an officer should fall in the prt from sat to outstanding?
3. How much has the Navy changed with respect to pt since you've been in, and where do you see it going?
Note: If you agree with someone, instead of not posting, please just say that you agree with said person. I'm just trying to see if my beliefs are in the ballpark with the rest of the Navy, or if I'm way the heck out in right field.
