I recently injured my back during a diagnostic ACFT and have less then a month to try and prepare for my record. I went to a army doctor, it two too to make a diagnoses and they didn't give me a profile. I was told if I am unable to pass the record ACFT I won't receive any rewards I might earn on this deployment is that true?

There are no record ACFTs. You can't be flagged for failing an ACFT

So there isn't anything confirming that the army will have April first be the starting date for record ACFTs?

SPC (Join to see) they've delayed the ACFT three times already, and the Army still hasn't settled on a final scoring system. They will delay the launch again.

Even if it does launch in March, you'll have until October before you get flagged.
Here's a little article about it

SPC (Join to see) - Well, right here right now flagging for ACFT's are off the table. If you are currently flagged for APFT's then your in trouble.

Yes, flags for fitness impact awards. There is a provision for awards in the regulations for VALOR exemptions from fitness flags. So if you take a bullet for the President while in theater visiting troops, don't worry you'll still get an award. But AAM,ARCOM,MSM's are off the table.

I wouldn't worry about the ACFT since it's not official yet and there's not even been further word on it for April.

I would be going back to the doctor to get a profile while recovering. Did you mean to say you had two doctors who made diagnoses or they made multiple diagnoses but didn't give a profile? Either way you have to advocate for your health. No one else will so if you're hurt, go back and ask for a temporary profile so you can recover safely.

I saw someone get an AAM for an end of tour award and they got an Art 15 during the deployment...I mean they could not give you an award if you're flagged but right now, you're not flagged.

I was shot in the arm during Iraq deployment . Could not do Push ups for a considerable time. Still received deployment awards. Sounds like BS
