3-11 NAVY DRUG AND ALCOHOL COUNSELOR.—The NDAC provides evaluation and referral  services  at  ATFs.  These  counselors  are responsible for helping commanding officers process individuals identified as drug or alcohol abusers. They also provide individual and group counseling to drug and alcohol abusers. The NDAC is a contact point for commanding officers and individuals seeking help or information on all matters regarding drug and alcohol abuse. ALCOHOL REHABILITATION CENTERS.— The Navy’s ARCs provide a program of intense and comprehensive rehabilitation. ARCs are for active-duty Navy and Marine Corps personnel who are suffering from alcoholism. These centers are naval activities under a commanding officer. Depending on their location, the centers range in capacity from about 75 to over 200 beds. HEALTH AND PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM Health and physical readiness are a matter of great concern  to  the  Navy.  To  ensure  the  operational effectiveness of the Navy, every member is expected to achieve and maintain standards of physical readiness and participate in a lifestyle that promotes optimal health. This program is designed to support and enhance the physical readiness of all personnel. Physical readiness training is a complete conditioning program designed to reduce  excess  body  fat  and  develop  and  maintain flexibility,   cardiorespiratory    endurance,    muscular strength, and the stamina needed to perform routine and emergency tasks. The program is a part of the Navy’s Health Promotion  Program.  This  program  includes physical fitness and sports, weight/fat control, nutrition education, high blood pressure identification, stress management, smoking education and prevention, lower back   injury   prevention,   and   alcohol/drug   abuse prevention. Exercise, Physical Fitness, and Weight Control Each command is required to ensure personnel meet the Navy’s physical readiness standards. All personnel must pass a semiannual Physical Readiness Test (PRT) which consists of meeting height/weight or body fat standards, doing a minimum amount of sit ups and push ups, and running a 1.5 mile run within a set time. Personnel who do not meet the Navy’s standards or fail the PRT are required to participate in a command remedial program. Command remedial programs are coordinated by each command’s fitness coordinator and vary from command to command, but the basic program is  controlled  through  the  Physical  Readiness  and Personal Excellence Program, OPNAVINST 6110.1. Counseling  and  assistance  centers  and  residential rehabilitation centers are available to help personnel conform  to  Navy  PRT  standards.  Personnel  who continually fail the PRT may be ineligible for promotion or reenlistment or administratively separated from the Navy. All personnel are responsible for maintaining an acceptable state of physical readiness at all times. Participation  in  a  personal  physical  conditioning program should occur at least three times a week. The individual physical conditioning activities should be at least 40 minutes in duration during which at least 20 minutes is continuous aerobic activity. Commands provide physical fitness and nutrition education through General Military Training (GMT). GMT should stress healthy food choices, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Each base has a Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR)  department  that  coordinates  an  intramural sports program for all commands attached to the base. The intramural sports program promotes morale and helps personnel obtain and maintain an optimum fitness level. All personnel are encouraged to participate in their base’s intramural sports program. Nutrition Education The primary goal of this program is to help Navy personnel become more fit and healthy. We have Navy remedial programs at the command level, counseling and assistance centers, and naval drug rehabilitation centers. These programs educate, counsel, and treat individuals who do not meet standards. A  comprehensive  plan  guides  Navy  personnel concerning proper nutrition. Improved training for mess specialists, menu analysis, and increased food options in chow halls are a part of the nutrition education plan. High Blood Pressure Identification The Navy's goal is for all active-duty personnel, dependents, civilians, and retirees to be aware of the risk
