Long story short, getting chaptered for PT failure, Some leadership was at fault, but I take full responsibility on that. I suck at running. I’ve got 9 months left in my contract. Was never a bad Soldier, went to boards, deployed to Afghanistan, couple ARCOMS, nothing bad ever besides the whole PT issue. My main question is, if I get kicked out, take a year or so to better myself physically, Get my 2 miles down to around a 13:30-14:00 flat, then attempt to re-enlist, what are my chances of actually getting back in? And yes, I’m tracking about the new ACFT.

Please be advised that a unit may initiate separation, but this may not necessarily be the final end state. You will go through a separation board of officers and a president. The Army doesn't want to lose Soldiers with a good attitude and willing to retrain. Be positive about your desire to serve when you go before the board.

Depends on the code the put on your discharge paperwork. There are a bunch of threads on RP asking if they can sign up with "x" code, look them up. Hiring circumstances do change though and your best info will be a recruiter closer to when you try to get in.

You have 9 months left - I really can't see why you can't get back in shape. If you're taking the discharge/chapter to get away (seen it done) from your current Chain of Command - transfer to another (seen this done too) unit.
PT wise - you're going to have to dog the exersize, 7 days a week, minimum twice a day + lunchtime 20 minutes if you are serious. Running will still suck but it depends on what you really want - WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.
Oh yeah - stop smoking if you are a smoker.

Right when I seen you got 9 months left then what’s stopping you from passing before they chapter you out. Show them you want to stay in and fight for it

Being kicked out for physical fitness looks bad on your leadership as well so if you put in the work they probably won't kick you out.
