If you fail one thing during PRT, do you redo the whole set the next day?

For example, I pass the run and plank with Good low scores but get probationary on push-ups during the PRT (first Tuesday or Friday?). Do I redo all three or just push-ups on the next day?

Aim for excellent PRT scores and you don’t have to worry about this.

It would depend on which PRT you are talking about. There are no redo's for the IST (1st PFA) or the mid PFA. If you have an issue with the Out PFA, your class team will probably work with you. But by that point there is no reason you shouldn't pass.

And failing first Tuesday has no consequence, nor is their a retake.

But if you did get a retake for anything, you redo the entire PFA. Not just the portion you failed.

Anyone have best recommendations for resources studying for ASTB-E? Books, websites, apps, videos, anything would really help.

**This question is more of a OCS application question** (Pilot Board for prior enlisted)

I am currently enlisted and set to graduate on AUG 3rd 2025, I read through and saw that transcripts must be in the application when submitting however I was curious to know if anyone has ever heard or seen first hand someone's application being processed if the transcripts were sent after the Fleet Application due date but before the board Convene date. I am only asking because the Fleet apps are due AUG 1st 2025 for a board convene date of SEP 15th 2025. Or would it just be better to wait till the next Fleet due date of SEP 19th for a Convene date of NOV 3rd.

If you fail any part of the PRT, you fail the whole thing

For those who have applied, did anyone meet with an investigator before receiving their final result? Just trying to get a sense of where I might be in the process.

My package was turned in late May for ISEL Supply. No updates from the recruiter yet.

Hey guys so dumb question but I was watching a video about OCS and I remember the video mentioned that towards the end of the program you are allowed to use your phone so you can work on finding housing for after OCS. But I was wondering how are the rules when you are allowed to use your phone? Is it strictly for finding housing and you can not do other things such as watch YouTube or use it for communication purposes other than finding housing?

You will have ample time after OCS to find a place. This is not A school / enlisted where you start like 2 days later.

You get your phone for CandiO phase bc of all the communication you need to do as part of helping the OCS staff

That being said, whatever you use it for while on liberty is up to you, as long as you’re not doing anything dumb lol

Agree with the stuff above, however, I’ll say, back in my OCS class three years ago I did see some of the SNFOs scrambling to find a place to live, as they were transferring very quickly.

Hello Abscise,

You should be able to apply without your degree IF you're one year out of graduation (which you are). You just need to state that in your package the graduation date, send in the credits that you have so far, and get a letter of "Upon Completion" form your University. Hope this helps!

Are there any prior enlisted peeps that applied for the board that convenes on July 14th? I went to check for any FY-26 calendar updates and saw that it is canceled. Has anyone received updates or knows what happens next? (I hope I don’t have to wait for the next board)
