    I believe it's an administrative discharge and I dont think it has a huge effect on your future. From the instruction:

    b. Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). The Navy assesses

    personal physical fitness via a semi-annual PFA (see enclosure

    (1)). The PFA includes a medical screen, a body composition

    assessment (BCA) and physical readiness test (PRT) (see

    enclosure (1)). The medical screening includes the annual

    periodic health assessment (PHA), a semi-annual NAVPERS 6110/3

    Physical Activity Risk Factor Questionnaire (PARFQ), and prephysical

    activity questions (see enclosure (1)). The BCA is

    based upon height and weight tables and circumference

    measurements, when required. The PRT is a series of physical

    events that assess cardio-respiratory fitness, muscular

    strength, and endurance. Physical fitness standards should be

    maintained constantly and consistently, not solely at the time

    of semi-annual testing.

    c. Failure to Meet PFA Standards. Meeting minimum PFA

    standards are a condition of continued naval service. Members

    with PFA failures will be subject to administrative actions.

    Members failing to meet BCA or PRT standards shall participate

    in an FEP. Members failing to meet PFA standards three times in

    the most recent 4-year period shall be processed for

    administrative separation (ADSEP) from the Navy.

    Any discharge takes time so no it won't be immediately. Anything other than an honorable discharge can effect your future. It also depends on what type of civilian job you're looking at though and whether or not they give you a chance to explain your discharge.

    i did not think of they have been doing waivers for PFA mess ups anymore. reckoning on how lots time you have left on your settlement or earlier your PRD, you may get to stay in a minimum of that lots longer.
