I failed weight and tape but I pass my pt test with 280 and up every time. What will happen to me?

PFC (Join to see) - From the reg (AR 600-9):

"A monthly loss of either 3 to 8 pounds or 1 percent body fat are both considered to be safely attainable goals that enable Soldiers to lose excess body fat and meet the body fat standards. Soldiers that meet either of these goals are considered to be making satisfactory progress in the ABCP."

"The regulation defines the Army Body Composition Program failure as 3 nonconsecutive months of less than satisfactory progress."

You need to show improvement immediately, but the Commander has some discretion. However, after three months of unsatisfactory progress (and it does not have to be three consecutive months), the Commander can initiate a chapter.

PFC (Join to see) - Your team leader or squad leader should have counseled you the same day you failed height and weight. It's their responsibility to ensure you know army standards so you're not left in the dark about what's expected of you.

You should be counseled about being flagged, being enrolled in the Army Body Composition Program, and the standards you need to meet to achieve satisfactory progress. After you get weighed and taped every month to track your progress, you should be counseled again on whether you have met or failed to meet satisfactory progress. Be sure to keep copies of all your counselings! You'll want to have a paper trail of your progress with trying to meet the army's height/weight standards.

If you have concerns or questions about how to safely and effectively meet height/weight standards, ask during the counseling session. If the counselor is unable to answer your concerns/questions, he/she should direct you to a healthcare professional who can guide you with how to eat a healthier diet.

SGT (Join to see) the company commander must counsel about entry into the ABCP, in MFR format.

1SG (Join to see) - Unless he does it on his own it will be official. USMC required a PG 11 entry for almost everything - even issue of safety boots etc., and some required counseling by CO. The PersO certified each entry. Preaching to the choir no doubt, just reinforcing.
