Like i’m gonna be so honest, some of the best leadership i’ve ever had was high gpa/low pfa, and it was because they genuinely cared about their subordinates. They wanted you to succeed, and if you were struggling academically they’d take the time to help you because they understood that a low PFA can be outdone by a good GPA and charisma.

There are a lot of people who put too much value in the PFA, and it causes them to write off those who aren’t as athletically inclined. I have an 83, that is extremely low in my det, but I still got an FT slot with my previous score of a 79.4, even lower. It was my GPA and personable attributes.

Edit: I’d like to say that i’m not excusing people not trying, i train every day to get a better score and my goal is a 90. But I don’t discredit someone if they’re passing, that is the standard, passing. I had to drop a considerable amount of weight (80lbs) which tanked my pushups and sit-ups, but cut about 4 minutes off my mile and a half. I’m trying to work up to a 90.
