I have recently failed the RAFFT due mainly to a 4yr sedentary job away from home.
On posting, I ramped up my physical training, as I now had the time for it (all out of hours), rather than spending 10+hrs a week sat in my driving seat.

I passed 1 discipline at better than EXCELLENT (Dark Blue) for a 17-y-o, but because I MARGINALLY (Yellow) failed the other 2 disciplines for a 35-y-o, I am deemed a failure.

Before being put on remedial, I was given "Lifestyle Counselling", which was a waste of time: I was never asked about my lifestyle, smoking, drinking, diet, exercise etc. It was merely a chance to sign my career away if I didn't attend the compulsary PT!
So I started remedial training, but binned that after 2 weeks as I'm OOA.
What hope is there for anyone who really doesn't care about their fitness. I'll have climbed Everest by the time I return from OOA
