Proud to share and recognize one of our outstanding Sailors! IT1 Weaver is killing it on the front line. Your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to excellence continue to make a lasting impact on our command.

⚓️ Bravo Zulu! ⚓️

Front & Center | IT1 Britain Weaver | Cyber Wins the Fight

Meet Information Systems Technician 1st Class Britain Weaver, a recognized cybersecurity expert with Task Force 504.

IT1 Weaver brought deep experience to the fight as part of the task force's advance onboarding team, including 11 years as a certified cybersecurity professional in the civilian sector, where he has spent the past six years detecting and responding to cyber threats at the enterprise level.

He recently coordinated across five states to ensure 250 warfighters were ready to operate before day one of the exercise. Working with the local supporting command, he built the process from the ground up, and command leadership maintained uninterrupted network access throughout.

That is the Navy Reserve advantage. IT1 Weaver spends his civilian career defending networks at the highest level. When the fleet needs that capability forward, he brings it with him.

Bravo Zulu, IT1 Weaver.

✨2026 PFA Standards—Raising the Bar on Readiness✨

⚓️ PFA Update 💪| Important Changes in 2026

NAVADMIN 264/25 announces major updates to the Navy Physical Readiness Program, effective 1 January 2026. Below are the PFA changes Navy Reserve Sailors should be tracking.

Key Changes You Need to Know:

Two PFA Cycles Per Year
• Cycle 1: January–June; Cycle 2: July–December
• Drilling SELRES and Sailors on active-duty orders less than 12 months will complete one PFA per year
• TAR Sailors and SELRES on active-duty orders of 12 months or longer will complete both cycles

Updated Body Composition Assessment (BCA)
• Height, weight, and waist measurements will be collected on all Sailors
• Step-1: The Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) – s*x neutral
• Step-2: Calculation of body composition using height minus waist measurement, with weight factored into determinations
o Note: Step-2 is not required if a Sailor passes Step-1.
• Age-adjusted standards are eliminated
• Updated body fat limits: 26% male / 36% female

High-Performance BCA Exception (Stricter Standard)
• Sailors outside BCA standards may still pass the PFA if they score:
o Outstanding-Low overall, and
o Excellent-Medium or better in every PRT event
• Results with BCA failure will reflect “BCA Not in Standards”
• Sailor will participate in FEP

PFA Failure Policy
• Sailors who fail three PFAs within four years (beginning in CY26) will be processed for administrative separation
• Active Component and TAR Sailors meeting this threshold will remain at their current command but will be ineligible for transfer

One-Time PFA Failure Reset
• All PFA failures prior to 1 January 2026 will reset to zero for career continuation purposes

Postpartum PFA Participation
• Beginning CY26, Sailors must participate in the official PFA conducted at the end of their 12-month postpartum deferment, provided they are medically cleared.

Combat Fitness Test (CFT)
• Sailors assigned to specific NECs (NSW, EOD, SWCC, Fleet Divers) will complete one PFA and one CFT per year

These updates represent significant changes. Sailors should review guidance early, prepare accordingly, and consult their Command Fitness Leader for official details.
