When counseling a member for failing Body Composition Assessment requirements, what remediation is required?

The necessity for a member who has failed the Body Composition Assessment to attend the Fitness Enhancement Program and submit a NAVPERS 1070/613 is rooted in the military's emphasis on readiness and health. This approach provides a structured plan for remediation, allowing service members to improve their physical fitness and body composition in a supportive environment.

The Fitness Enhancement Program is specifically tailored to help individuals meet the required standards, emphasizing both physical training and education on nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. Submitting a NAVPERS 1070/613, which is a counseling form, ensures that there is a formal record of the counseling and the action plan taken to rectify the issue. This documentation is vital for tracking progress and ensuring accountability.

In contrast, other options such as submitting a written apology or scheduling a private meeting with the commanding officer do not address the underlying problem of physical fitness and body composition, nor do they provide a pathway for improvement. Transferring to another command may offer a change of scenery but does not resolve the fitness issue at hand. The chosen remediation aligns with military standards and promotes the individual's well-being and readiness for service.
