Does a Permanent Profile prevent somebody from being on the Commandant's List?

I would be curious to find out where this is, because I’m confident that there is no regulation that states a person with a permanent profile can’t be identified for Commandant’s List. It would seem to be a local school house decision. This doesn’t seem like something the Army would condone. If the service member has been specifically told you are excluded because of a profile, I would hope that there is a policy or guidance that came down from the Army to support that decision (I doubt it). It seems to me a bit prejudice toward personnel who still continuing to serve regardless of medical disability. Please follow up and see if there is some sort of regulation or Army Policy on this. I for one have not heard of an Army Policy that would authorize this.

A permanent profile should not limit your potential for honors within an NCOES course. SGT Efaw's post shows that Ft. Jackson's NCO Academy is handling permanent profiles the right way. If there are NCO Academy's that are following different standards then it is not fair to the soldier and discriminatory toward soldiers with a permanent profile. An NCO Academy should, at a minimum, be using the standard in AR 600-8-19, in regards to APFT score calculation, when determining honors eligibility. I attended ALC and SLC with a permanent profile and was distinguished honor grad from both. Fortunately that NCO Academy had a common sense and fair standard.

I do not remember what the cut off was, but when I went through WLC in 2013, we were one of the first cycles (at least that's what we were told) to require a particular APFT score to make commandants list. I suspect that SPC Benjamin Roeder hit the nail on the head. It's not that a permanent profile is barred from making commandants list, but that it's hard to over come a 60 point score in one event.

No it should not preclude them from commandant's list or honor grad. I have a permanent profile and just finished alc. It should not be used against him in anyway. See EO or IG about discrimination.

WO1 (Join to see) I was on the Commandant's List at ANCOC and had a permanent profile. To make up for the lower APFT score I had to have a higher GPA.

I was kept from the Commandants list due to a walking profile that kept my PT score at 60 in that one event.

I have a P2 and I made Commandants List for ALC. (This was several years ago, but I do not think that changed).

Could you post a copy of the policy letter that specifically states that?

Shouldn’t.

Chief, I believe it's a individual cadre decision and it depends on the profile. Does the profile keep the Soldier from fully participating as the rest of the Soldiers? If the Soldier has a P3 hearing profile and can pass a APFT, participate in all marching, combatives, land nav and all the physical stuff, then they should not be excluded from the Commandants list. If there is no training or school reg that governs this, then its like I said. Cadre decision based on type of profile and varies from Cadre to Cadre.
