I assume you mean the APFT. It is still early, but he NEEDS to pass that APFT. He will be tested during Beast, in the fall term, and in the spring term. There are privileges that get taken away when a cadet fails this test. As the year progresses the situation becomes more and more serious, and more and more privilages go away. A current cadet or recent grad can probably give more details. Below is from the DPE “Whitebook”

“Any cadet who fails the APFT will have up to 90-days to remediate the failure. A cadet who
fails a record APFT will be placed on the Testing Office’s 90-day retest roster and tracked by the
Testing Office. APFT failures will be enrolled In the Commandant’s Physical Remedial
Program (CPRP) for a minimum of six weeks. The cadet may elect to test at the end of six
weeks or can remain in the program until they test at 90 days. If the cadet passes the test, he/she
will be removed from the 90-day retest roster; however, for purposes of the PPSY, the original
failing grade will stand. If the cadet fails the retest, he/she is subject to separation …CPRP is a physical remedial program designed to remediate APFT failures so cadets can pass the
APFT at the minimum standards. Through participation in the program, cadets will be
intrinsically motivated to maintain their personal fitness…Cadets who fail either their Spring or Fall record APFT will automatically be enrolled in CPRP.
The Master of Sword will review the enrollment list and the Commandant will approve the final
candidates. Corps Squad athletes will be excused from the program on a case-by-case basis.”

One of the big privilages that can go away is summer leave after the academic year.
