That's how I got flagged years ago. 2nd week in CO (with the company) and I had an "diagnostic APFT". I failed by 10 seconds and I didn't really care. I mean it's a diagnostic right? Cue Former Enlisted micromanaging Commander flagging all of us. God it made my day when that jerk off got relieved in the middle of a field problem for being so incompetent.

I love smashing idiots like that.

What a gently caress nugget.

How about I flag your rear end while you're under investigation for being an piece of poo poo?

I had to get into a big, dumbass argument with a CSM because I refused to flag a guy who failed the run in steady 25 mph winds with gusts above 30mph.

Same guy had, pointedly, already retaken the test in calm winds and passed with a minute to spare.

I know you’re joking, but I’ve heard that argument before and even had to explain how friction works to explain that by the laws of physics, no wind at all is more advantageous than a steady headwind followed by tailwind.

Hey man, I'm on my way out the door and into the fabulous world of elementary education.

Seriously though, if you (or anyone) have "hypothetical" situations just mention them here. I've gone from an assistant M-60 gunner private to further up than I ever thought.

Also, there is a wealth of experience on this forum, use it for crying out loud.

FM 7-22 Appendix A:

quote:

The commander should ensure that testing is consistent with regard to events, scoring, clothing, equipment, and facilities. Testing should be planned to permit each Soldier to perform at his maximal level and should ensure the following:

Soldiers are not tested when fatigued or ill.
Soldiers do not participate in tiring duties before taking an APFT.
Weather and environmental conditions do not inhibit physical performance.
Risk analysis is conducted.

Barring all that though, go get a profile.

I believe you're authorized twice the time of your profile up to a max of 90 days. So if you've got a 14 day profile, you can't take a PT test until 28 days AFTER the end of the profile.

New profile system erased that bit. All profiles are now written with a date at which the soldier is fit for APFT. The old formula is gone.

Already discussed this with Ombudsmen but FM is a field manual and is a suggestion. Regulations are different. So basically FMs won’t protect you.

I did the S4 thing as a non-loggy. Only worry about maintenance and pacing items from the USR. If you can minimize those the BC will stay off your back. Obviously help the line companies where you can, but they ask for frivolous poo poo a lot of the time. Just spout off their NMC report if you don’t feel like worrying about how their Cable contract doesn’t have the stations that commander wants, or when the 1SG wants to repaint the company COF a completely different color because he doesn’t have better poo poo to do.
