At what rank should Soldiers be exempt from organized PT?

Never until you have your DD-214. How would you know how well your subordinates doing if your exempt? Do you truly trust your Career to some one else? Organized PT is SGT's Business so as a minimum every one below and O-grade should be at PT, Unless physically unable to make it. Officer should be their to support the NCO's. Short exemptions for Maxing the PT TEST third time maybe. We had a SGT. Who was on the post weight lifting team he was exempt until he failed the run on the PT TEST. 1SGT. Pulled him back and made him lead organized PT Until he PCSED. Rank has nothing to do with it. It is your job. JMTC

No rank is exempt from organized physical training activities, not even generals and CSMs. The CSA and CSM of the Army participate in organized physical training too, because they are part of a unit that is accountable for their physical fitness as per Army standards.

At no rank. Every member of the military, both male and female must be the fittest and healthiest they can possibly be. Age and rank shouldn't be a factor in health. If you are not healthy or fit enough to be in the military, get out.

I agree with "retired" and think that should be the mark for every branch of service, because every reserve deployment includes the unexpected deaths of those whom fail to remain serviceable.

No exemption. It use to make me irrated when this round person would explain what I was doing wrong. Oh and the officers have an honor code. Of course they can pass.

Exempt only if retired.

38 years of age AND has reached the rank of E8/E9

All ranks should participate unless they are on a medical profile . no exceptions

I have fond memories of PT formations at brigade headquarters in the dead of the Alaskan winter , running in formation on ice and snow in VB boots and balaclavas , lead by a one legged full bird . Every man suffering a little but not a one would fall out , if our commander could do it with one leg we could as well whatever our maladies were . We trained as one and fought as one , now days troops seem to be softer and more feminized , especially the young NCO's and Older officers .

My advice , if you can't do PT with the men your going to fight and die with , maybe you should be looking for work in another field , your not worthy of being a United States solider of any branch.

I have read man of the comments here and will agree that NO ONE, regardless of rank or position ,should be exempt from organized PT.

I also agree that some jobs are 24 hours and some will not be there for a morning PT session. For those soldiers, they should conduct organized PT based on their schedules.

I don't agree that those that score a 280, 290, or 300 on a PT test should be exempt from organized PT. Seeing then there shows that even they are part of the team. The same question might be asked for those who are Subject Matter Experts in their jobs. Are they exempt from doing their job because they are a SME in their job? The answer is no.

NONE! Let your soldiers see you are capable of passing. Also, eat with your Joes. You want to lead? Then be seen!
