(NewsNation) — Sailors will no longer face the end of their Navy careers if they fail two consecutive fitness assessments, according to an administrative message. Sailors who fail one physical fitness assessment are ineligible for promotion until they can pass another test under the old system. If they failed a second test, their ability to be promoted or reenlist would be taken away.
