Male applicants measured at 22 percent body fat or less (23% for male applicants 40 years of age or older) may enter the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) and ship to Recruit Training Command regardless of their weight. Female applicants measured at 33 percent body fat or less (34% for female applicants 40 years of age or older) may DEP and ship to Recruit Training Command regardless of their weight. Body Fat measurements are performed according to the instructions contained in OPNAV Instruction 6110.1H - PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM

BODY COMPOSITION ASSESSMENT (BCA) PILOT PROGRAM

Applicants required to attend recruit training but who exceed Navy physical readiness standards may ship to RTC provided their body fat content does not exceed 25% for males and 36% for females.

If the applicant cannot pass the IFA prior to their ship date the applicant may be subject to discharge from DEP. If the applicant reports to RTC in excess of the new accession body fat standards or fails the initial RTC Physical Fitness Assessment the applicant could be subject to Entry Level Separation from the Navy. Applicants must achieve retention body fat standards in order to graduate from RTC.
