READ UPDATE!!

He's OCONUS and has mentioned he will purposely fail a PT test, and I talked him out of it. He wants to move to the Reserves, but from the looks of it, he CANNOT. He heard what he needed to hear and the consequences of Malingering. I appreciate the responses, but any answer after this edit, will not be read by myself.

If he is chaptered negitivley his RE code is going to be a 2 at best, more than likey a 3. Which as a recruiter I can tell you he will not be eligible to enlist into the reserves or guard but McDonalds would probably hire him. Tell him to quit whining and finish out his initial contract and then he can get out and go into the reserves.

Is that worse than getting as close to a 180 as you can while in theater because the mitt CSM is the biggest tool you ever saw? CSM Johnson you know who you are if you're reading this you know what to do to yourself tonight.

I would think failing a PT test would have other ramifications - none of which would be good for him either short or long term.

Let your friend know that if he goes that route he risks getting barred from reenlisting. A new policy came out this year that states if I am correct that NOW a BAR can follow you from active duty to the reserves and national guard. I have a soldier right now in that situation and a reserve recruiter told him the reserves won't touch a soldier with a BAR.

A guy in my old unit wanted to get out BAD. He was not that smart, so his idea was to eat his way out. By his thinking, if he got kicked out for being fat, it would be better than just quitting. So he ate big macs all day and got very unhealthy and very fat. Then the command found out what he was doing and hit him with NJP (I forget what for) and put him on weight control (run for lunch).

Is malingering no longer punishable under the UCMJ? I would tell your friend that this behavior is more likely to send him to a lower pay grade.

Please don't encourage a dirtbag that would purposely fail his PT Test to get booted to try the Reserves. If he can't fulfill his 2-3 yr commitment on AD, do the military a favor and just separate
