Test
BCA
Body Composition Assessment
The BCA is part of the Navy's PFA cycle. All sailors are weighed and measured against height/weight standards first. Those who exceed the chart get taped: the Navy measures neck circumference and abdomen (men) or neck, waist, and hips (women) to estimate body-fat percentage. Exceeding the body-fat standard results in an Overall Failure on the PFA regardless of PRT performance.
