Can a soldier wear civilian clothing to do pt?

During your boyfriend's off time...yes he can wear civvies when doing PRT. When doing PRT with the unit, he will wear the uniform dictated by the 1SG and Training Schedule.

Let us ask a few questions to place this in a fuller context:

Is he a Delayed Enlistment Member of the Guard or Reserve who has been issued 1 uniform for use on drill weekend before attending Basic? if so yes he can wear civilian PTs while training with the unit.

Is he Active Duty in a special duty status, or function, that requires civilian clothing to be worn? Yes, he may wear the APFT, but it may be optional based upon location of assignment.

Is he re-entering the service in either the National Guard, or Reserves after a separation of a few years? See above for Delayed Entry, once he is provided new issue or a clothing check he will be required to be in the current APFU.

Commonly, unless the Company/Battery/Troop Commander Authorizes it at the lowest level for a Family Day Event, or similar Relaxed Uniform Event, all Soldiers are required to be in the properly prescribed uniform based upon Policies, Training, and Duty Schedules.

Trish Stepanski When I was on active duty, I often did PT in civilians when not doing orginized PT. As everyone has stated when doing organized PT he will ware the APFU. If he goes to a NCOES school, he will also wear the APFU.
