Lieutenant Failure
The lieutenant who fails in passing the fitness test can delay or stop his promotion in the army because of two reasons. One is that the physical fitness matters a lot beside other courses in the army.
The other reason is that the poor physical person should not be the future leader of many soldiers in war operations and should not be the example for other army officers and for civilians.
But this does not mean that he is permanently deprived of the promotion. This is just a warning. He can recover himself depends on him and can get a promotion like other good performance officers.
