At what rank should Soldiers be exempt from organized PT?

Never. I did PT right up until I retired. And frankly I shouldn’t have quit then!

None. Next question?

I would make an exception for 5-stars.

I am more concerned about age, job duties, physical or nonphysical, and medical conditions that occurred but do not impair current job duties. Those positions requiring combat readiness should take the physical fitness test.

Never

Private

I never saw an officer do PT in 20 years. My last CO was at least 40-50 pounds overweight. I always hated that Do as I say, not as I do. There was a lot of resentment from the troops.

To ensure unit cohesion and esprit de corps, I feel every service member should participate in unit organized physical training, no exceptions!

Interesting, should be encouraged for everyone however E6 and Up should have flexibility, FYI, 73-77 we had to wear tee shirts, fatigues and combat boots for PT

All ranks should be required to perform PT and keep fit. As an SP6 I had to take a PT test as well as attending PT sessions. As an SFC I attended PT with a MSG and a Captain. Maybe only Generals should be exempt.
