Yes you can. If you failed either one of those things, fix it. Remember, leave and liberty is a privilege, not a right.

Aflag means no personnel actions, promotions, reclass, re-enlist, leave, etc.

Yes. A flag means that ANY positive actions are denied and that includes leave, even if you are maxed out on your leave days. You cannot go on leave, get promoted, go to any new schools that are not part of your enlistment contract, re-enlist, cross train, etc. Nothing, not until you get that flag lifted by your command.

A flag is an administrative indicator placed against your personnel file to determine your current duty status and eligibility for favorable actions. Leave in and of itself is earned monthly and though the approving of it for a given period can be denied to prevent a favorable action, normally it will be granted in this type of circumstances. The IG within your first GO level HQ in the chain of command should be able to provide you additional info. Additionally you are required to be counseled and provided a copy of your flag when it is put in place. Best COA is to pass your APFT.

It's been a minute since I read regulations, but I'm pretty sure you can have leave denied over it. Granting leave is the discretion of your commander anyways, so if he wants, he can pull it.

I was told I was flagged for it last month when I failed this month passed both pt and Ht/Wt. My ERB does not show that I am flagged in either my old ERB with my failed pt test and my updated one with my passing score. Also they have approved my leave prior but lost it. Now they are making it an issue regarding my supposed flag. I also read into both AR 600-8-2 and AR 600-8-10 regarding both flag regulations and leave and pass. Does not say anything about me not being able to take leave for being flagged for pt failure. Also regarding leave is defined as earned.

Takin leave is a privilege, and can be denied by the command. You earn leave days, so that is not being denied, when you can take leave is always at the commands discretion. Bottom line up front, and this is going to be harsh, you fucked up, there are consequences for fucking up, fix yourself. Quit being a bitch, accept responsibility, and Charlie Mike. No one put a gun to your head and said "do not do PT on your own", nor did anyone lift the fork or spoon to your mouth and tell you to eat, you did that all on your own, now it's time to pay for those choices.
