If you were to fail a PT Test and they say you are getting chaptered out... Is it true that I can come back 6 months later and join again if I want to and just take a APFT test and past then I go straight to my until because I finished school and I'm MOS qualified? Is that true? Please help me

Good lord, I hope not. As a matter of fact, they should make them pay back the money spent carting their happy-a$$ across the country on the government dime just so their lazy carcass could fail something that tests if you're capable of breathing (at the 180 level). Think of all the money spent on someone...just so they can fail at AIT. That's a lot of chow, ammunition, gas, clothing, heating, water, etc, etc. I bet if they counted it up someone would owe the government quite a bit of money.

Well why should they care. We he plenty of political congressional people who are padding their pockets and nothing is getting done about it. I think if a SIT is doing poorly like horribly failing their PT tests continually and they are showing emotional stress and instability in boot camp and areally requestin to be chaptered should be. Better the military find out now then after they are on the front lines somewhere....after all that would not do the military any good either.

The Soldier won't be reimbursed for anything he bought (ribbons, socks, etc.), and almost everything that was issued to him will be returned to CIF. Get his clothing record from AKO and look at the "ETS" column, and that will tell him what needs to be turned in.

I notice that you've posted multiple questions regarding getting chaptered for APFT failure. Whether you need the information for yourself or a buddy, I recommend that you select one or two NCOs here on RP who can offer you mentorship on this matter, then tell him/her the whole situation from beginning to end to see if there's any way to help you or your buddy.

I knew a couple of people in AIT who got chaptered for failing weight or APFT, and neither received the kind of 1-on-1 counseling and mentorship that they would have received once they got to their unit. Try to find that mentorship here on RP... that's one of the reasons we're here.

Ahh, no.
On the flip side, if you have not met minimum time in services post enlistment and having received a bonus, you may owe the government money

after failing my 1st apft i passed the 2nd one but they told me it was diagnostic. i took another a week after and passed but they said it was nullified cuz other soldiers complained they ran extra lap. i was made to take another one which i ended up running the snow and i failed my run by 16sec. my commander has initiated chapter process but i have not signed any paperwork yet cuz i asked to talk to him but i have not gotten the chance yet. i ask what's next thing to do?
