1. Navy PT testing is now weekly.
2. Internal scuttlebutt says Navy boot camp is being extended by five weeks to add combat readiness training, from the current eight weeks to twelve weeks.
3. Chiefs are telling students to not expect to ever again see, in this lifetime or career, Condition IV steaming. Currently, with few exceptions, ships go directly from Cond V (tied up pier-side), to Cond III (war-time steaming).
There's more from inside I won't divulge here, but my take is that someone (probably not the very top) expects some major surface-to-surface, surface-to-air, surface-to-shore, landing and boarding, etc., engagements in the next few years.
My personal take, for the past few years, is that every man, woman, and child in the USA needs to be prepared to fight for their own survival; that this next world war will be waged here at home. Perhaps the same all over the world, but here at home is what the people of the USA need to be concerned about.
Another personal take: American women will be critical to the combat leadership in such a war on home soil. Too many American men have grown too fat, lazy, stupid, and addicted to watching jock queers play with balls every weekend to be of any use in real life.

Strange post, but I doubt that Navy personnel are having to be graded on a formal PT test every week.
I also doubt that Navy basic is going to increase to 12 weeks.
The males and females are graded by separate standards, for the same job and position.
