When I was in you could be charged for 2 failures on the Physical Test.
They first time you failed, you were put in a daily exercise program and when you weren’t on leave you had to exercise daily for 20 mins and weigh in twice a week.
They also changed your diet in the galley, you weren’t allowed to eat what everyone else eats.
I never failed (I always showed up for the voluntary pre-tests to make sure I was going to pass) , but I think being humiliated in the galley was the worst because they made them go to the front of the line so they could make sure what they were putting on their tray.
We even had a Chief that failed. Apparently the other senior enlisted were shunning him because of his failure.
I saw lots of swabbies come on shore leave in Bangkok. Most of the chiefs were fat slobs. The lower enlisted looked normal for young men.
The SEALS of course were completely different. They were Rock hard and to drink with them was fun.
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, a jelly doughnut, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: A jelly doughnut?!
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, yes, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How did it get here?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, I took it from the mess hall, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Is chow allowed in the barracks, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Are you allowed to eat jelly doughnuts, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: And why not, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, because I'm too heavy, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Because you are a disgusting fat body, Private Pyle!
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, yes, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Then why did you hide a jelly doughnut in your foot locker, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, because I was hungry, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Because you were hungry.
