PT should be mandatory for all personnel during their entire enlistment or commission. If they can't they should not continue in service.

Do you have a P-2 / P-3 profile that precludes you from "Organized" Physical Training"?
Enough said than, right; all right then.

The same rank you should be to be exempt from the military.

Unless one has a physical disability, no one should be exempt. We live, work and train together.

NO ONE SHOULD BE EXEMPT. AS A PHYSICALLY-CHALLENGED VETERAN, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT INCLUSION IS A MINDSET. THE PREFERENCE IS FOR "DIFFERENTLY ABLED" RATHER THAN "DISABLED" FOR A REASON. THE CHALLENGED MAY NEED TO WORKOUT DIFFERENTLY, BUT MISSION COMPLETION REQUIRES THE BEST EFFORT OF ALL TEAM MEMBERS. ALL SERVICE MEMBERS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO REDEFINE OBSTACLES AS CHALLENGES--AND THEN, STRIVE TO OVERCOME THEM. GOAL: TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL FITNESS & MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT.

never , PT is not just exercise it's also a unit activity all personnel not on profile or excused because of a job conflict should participate . especially unit runs . It builds up the unit , builds confidence in the upper ranks from the lower ranks . Nothing inspires a trooper more that to see their superiors sweat just like they are , if you see your commander at PT formation then you know he or she got your back when the lead starts to fly.

None, as long as they are in the service they should be ready for any war.
