At what rank should Soldiers be exempt from organized PT?

Nobody should ever be exempt from organized PT. Military is a all for one one for all concept. if you excel in PT then you should be there to help others excel and give guidance for those that are not excelling.

This is going to be controversial.

PT should be conducted at team and squad levels with a weekly unit level assessment of the individual teams progress. Every team and squad leader should strive to become proficient in evaluating and creating training plans that are structured to meet the individual weaknesses of the soldiers underneath them.

You and your military superiors should follow the advice of your physician, who should not be connected with the military in any way so you get an unbiased medical opinion.

Rank should not be a factor in maintaining physical fitness.

Rank should not be a factor in physical fitness

As a retired medic, I would think the question should be at what age a soldier can be exempt from organized PT. We are all required to be physically fit to do our assigned duty. You cannot deny we compete to outshine our teammates. At whatever age medical challenges may make a less strenuous or adjusted type of activity necessary. A senior officer or noncom shouldn't appear less competent because of aging where the body slows down. Facing the possibility of ridicule no matter your rank is an insult to anyone's ego. My experience at 40 was running 2 miles around the track when I was doing strength training in a gym. The best part was my unit cheering me on to make it in the allotted time. It could have gone the other way. Because I'm female, my body age may be different than a male. Brain cells, however, remain superior at any age

Never, all ranks should be required to do organized P.T.

Hahahahaha. As a retired soldier, who now teaches Army ROTC at Boston University, I still have to have a modicum of health. So, while the youngsters are doing Conditioning Drill 1, Exercise 1, (The Bend and Reach), I'm out there walking around the track getting in my 2.5 miles.

There is no rank
