I failed a record APFT at the beginning of August, so my 90 days to retake the test will be in November. This is after the implementation of the ACFT in October 1. My question is if I still will have to retake it and pass it. And if I don’t pass it, can I be separated for the APFT failure, even though is not going to be the test of record anymore.

The APFT is only authorized after 1Oct for SMs who currently have a failed record APFT. Failing to APFTs in a row, if properly counseled, is grounds for separation, if your command team choose to pursue it.
Your best bet is to show improvement or pass.

Dude, you gotta get yourself together. You failed diagnostics in April and May, had June and July to prep, and still failed a record in August. If you pass the fitness tests, you don't have to worry about these barracks lawyer questions. Get with your unit MFT to help you will a training plan. If you don't have one, pm me and I can help you with your programming.

Just work on your running and sit ups. Pass the apft in November. Then say goodbye to it and continue working on the ACFT. You gotta pass your apft or you might be saying bye to your career. You still have 2 months. Even the most out of shape person can meet the standards in 2 months of training. You can do this. Now do the prep work and then go do it.
