Default PT flexibility

So I was hoping someone who has experienced Basic training could help me out here. I was looking over the PT minimums and I think I'm very much good to go on all but one item.

I am the single most inflexible individual. It really is ridiculous. I was in martial arts for about six years. So I've put some fairly significant effort into trying to gain flexibility. Side stretches and other normal stretches aren't really an issue for me. It's the Sit touch that I have an extreme problem with. With my butt on the ground and my feet straight forward I've never been able to touch my toes.

I'm just wondering if this is essentially a deal breaker. I'll be asking my recruiter in a couple of days what he thinks but I don't want to call him just for this.....

I'd appreciate any feedback!

I have the feeling that if you can't touch your toes, you are not going to p*** the PT requirements to graduate from Boot Camp. IMO
