I had just arrived at my first duty station when a week after inrpcessing we where sent of to JRTC In fort polk ...we did zero PT the entire time
When we had returned I was told I was taking um first APFT well I failed it and even know the grader marked it as a record my LT told me that he was going to make it a diagnostic because we had just returned and it was my first PT test
Well about a month later I had just gotten of profile for about 2 weeks and was told I was taking another one I failed my run by 11 seconds
I just signed (disagreed) on a counciling for recommendation for chapter ...how can I fight this???

Did the NCO running the APFT tell you clearly that it was a record or a diagnostic? If it was clearly identified as a record, then you failed a record APFT.

You are given up to 90 days to retake the APFT that you failed. The only way to take it sooner is that is in counseling from I believe your supervisor and/or 1SG stating that you are ready to take it prior to the 90 days. I think that's in the regulation.

What was your profile for? What did the provider write on it about when you would be ready to take another APFT?

Go talk to legal. That's about all you can do but it's up to you to pass your APFT. If you can't pass the current one you're in for a world of trouble with the ACFT.

Run on your own during the week . Use the track once a week and run 2 miles for time. Do the pushups and rest 10 min. Have a buddy hold you down or do the situps at home beforehand. The 10 min rest will be the drive to a local high school track. After the run is done. Rest a little and run 220m sprints and walk half a lap for a warmdown. You will be stronger in less than 90 days to retake and pass (with improvement )the APFT
