Does a soldier need to pass an APFT to reclass into 88M? I do not believe they do per TR351-10, but that regulation is pretty outdated?

My question is the APFT is the standard if you cant pass the APFT why is command allowing you to reclassify. Isn't the APFT required for any Army school? I would reference TRADOC when looking for Regulation.

Absolutely spot on. If it is an Army school, there are prerequisites to meet and uphold. No reason for a waiver here.

It is my understanding that soldiers must be in good standing (not suspended from favorable personnel actions) to attend schools. I believe this includes reclassification schools. If a soldier has not passed their APFT, then they should be flagged until this performance is improved. I suggest you look at AR 600-8-2.

Thank you SFC!
I am aware of flagging actions and their effect on soldiers going to schools, I should have been more specific. I am wondering about when the soldier is actually AT the school. Is it a graduation requirement? If not, will they take a test at all?

Roger. Typically reclass schools are on a shortened schedule. I think you might by right. I may depend on the schoolhouse
