APFT 270 Score on ERB

MSG Sean Francis — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:05:17 -0400

If A Soldier scored a 270 or higher on a record APFT but did not get 90% in each event how is it worded on the NCOER. According to board notes for the SFC/MSG AAR this is an issue.

Does the NCOER show the break out or just the final score?

If final score only, I'd focus on the 270 score and the impact of maybe how they help motivate others through their example.

The NCOER shows the final score but based on the bosard AAR notes they want you to specify whether or not the SM received a 90% in each event thus the question is if they didn't how's it worded? I have never seen it this way on the NCOER before.

SFC Francis,

If you provide a score, but do not mention that a badge was earned, the assumption is that the NCO did not get 90/90/90.

The board is wanting to ensure that those that earn the badge get the "credit".

A good policy is not to make the board guess the level of the accomplishment - spell it out in clear, concise and efficient bullets.

This is exactly why I feel that the PFT score should be recorded on the NCOER regardless of how good or bad it is. I have stated before, the NCOER is your report card. It reflects your accomplishments for a period of time. Accomplishments are not always good. One can accomplish to be convicted of something in a Court Martial, while that's not good it's still an accomplishment and needs to be reflected properly on the NCOER.
