SFPA is done every month plus a ruck or run with the cadre every week. Fail his standard and you get counseled. Enough counseling and you go to the relief board. If you have a bad packet, you may find yourself failing your PT test.

Will all that training you should have done come back to haunt you?
Good to know it's easy enough to pass while severely hung over and with a broken leg.

Soon the "standard" will be showing up and breathing.
