What is the penalty for failing both the first PT eval and the CPAT?

Failing both the first physical training evaluation and the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) results in a penalty of 4.0 demerits. This aligns with the standards set forth in the MDFR Recruit Orientation Manual, emphasizing the importance of physical fitness and the consequences related to performance in training evaluations. The demerits serve to emphasize accountability and encourage recruits to meet the physical demands of their future roles effectively. Understanding this penalty helps recruits recognize the significance of maintaining their fitness levels and preparing adequately for such evaluations.
