I just started doing pt again because I was on profile for a month and half for a hip flexor injury( that’s still not “fixed” yet) I’m not trying to be a shitbag but a failed apft would mean a promotion to pv2 would not go through( was up for automatic promotion but a failed apft in like March prevented that)

SPC (Join to see) Until you pass a record APFT, your promotion will be on hold because you are flagged. If your leadership is telling you that this is not a record APFT, it is a diagnostic APFT. Diagnostic APFTs are used by Commanders to evaluate your current physical status. You can't be flagged for a failed diagnostic APFT, and you can't have a flag removed because of a passed diagnostic. If you were on a temporary profile, regulation allows for a preparation time that is double the profile, but no more than 90 days. Start working on getting back to good physical health to pass a record APFT.

MSG (Anonymous) - FMs are used in conjunction with regulations, and are not used to outweigh them (I never said or implied they did). The Army has it this way to prevent any further injuries just because a command wants a Soldier to take an APFT as soon as they are off a profile. What if the profile stated no running, but was okay with an alternate event? Should the Soldier not be allowed to train in the run again? Or should they just be thrown to the gauntlet, and possibly re-injure the Soldier? A profile allows the Soldier to recover from the injury, while the train-up period in FM 7-22 allows to the Soldier to return to a satisfactory level without worry that they will get hemmed up by the unit. That's what it is there for.
