If a member is medically waived from any portion of the PFA, how will their score be calculated?

When a member is medically waived from participating in any portion of the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA), the calculation of their score is guided by specific rules. If they pass the remaining events of the PFA, they can still achieve a passing score overall. This policy allows for flexibility and understanding of individual health needs while still emphasizing the importance of meeting fitness standards to the extent possible.

In this context, if a member is unable to complete part of the PFA due to medical reasons, their performance in the remaining events becomes the basis for their overall assessment. As a result, passing the remaining components demonstrates a level of fitness that aligns with the standards set for the assessment, therefore enabling them to receive a passing score.

This approach recognizes that not all physical capabilities may be uniformly applicable to every service member due to medical limitations, thus allowing for an equitable evaluation based on available performance. The incorrect options, such as automatically failing the PFA or having their score ignored, do not consider the potential for evaluating remaining strengths and capabilities of the member.
