I am being told to go to PT by the command on only 4-5 hours of sleep. As a junior enlisted, how do I solve this problem?

Join your company and get it done.

Try scoring 270 or above on APFT and see if that'll give you some bargaining power

I would suggest quit whining and go to PT. Only 4-5 hrs of sleep? I love that luxury. Deployed we never got more than 2-3 hours of sleep
At night or day depending on shift we worked. Plus we were expected to do PT on our own and pass PT tests.

Suck it up and do as your told. Mom can not help you. For Gods sake GROW UP

Suck it up buttercup. Your a soldier first then what ever your MOS is. The life of a soldier is not always a easy one. See you are using your civilian thinking to deal with a military problem. Remember you a a soldier first. If you're not in shape and the balloon goes up. You are screwed. Everyone is a 11B (grunt) if you are overrun.

I hate to sound insensitive but, well, maybe I am a little. Crap is one of the things we get to enjoy as a perk of our service to Uncle Sugar. As my old PSG used to say, "Embrace the suck."

What you learn to handle now will prepare you for the future challenges you will face in the military or cilivian world, prior to my retirement , I was a Sr. Vice President at the national level, I can't tell you how many times a weak manager on my team would "fold" in a crises, unfortunately there lack of commitment would not be apparent until there's a serious issue requiring there total commitment, these people eventaully show who they really are in terms of work ethic and they never advance to the highest levels of the organization , in fact many end up stagnating in lower tier roles. Your background, training , experience and education will only take you so far , work ethic is critical, example I had two experienced and educated people with impressive backgrounds, they held 100k sr.manager level positions in two different states, we had crises in there AO , both Sr. Managers "FOLDED" and couldn't be reached by their staff , the situations were elevated to me for immediate action and I had to pull and deploy Sr. Managers from other states to handle the situation. Both these weak leaders wouldn't answer email,cell phone or text for almost a week , claiming serious personal issues, they both lost all credibility with there hundreds of employees and our customers, after that event they both have plenty of time off to focus on personal issues

Uh you do as your told and go, Problem solved .

Army regs only state that your command only needs to give you 4 1/2 hours of sleep during a 24 hour day. If you are working that schedule. There should be a alternate pt/work call formation, that is held. Every workday.
