I have a soldier with an ETS date is in 20 days, and the command wants to give him a PT test. Does the soldier have to do it/pass or fail?

I was the PRT Coordinator for 6 years. It is a yearly thing not a random, we think we will make a person take a Test thing. There are rules to follow! Have the person lookup the Regs for the ARMY and ask for an Audience with the CO, only after speaking to Base Legal. This seems to be a way to give a less than honorable discharge if the person is overweight or out of specs. They can falsify the result easily!!! A tape measure can be held tight or loose to skew the results. Be very Careful!!!

If the soldier gets hurt ,its in his/ her record and is service connected .then should be medically re evaluated.
I would try to convince the higher up to let it go as a loss and save everyone the headache.

My 1sg at hood made me take one the day before I ets'd. Easier just to do it then try to fight it was my opinion so I just took it and went on my way the next day.

What is their plan if he gets injured. What if that injury requires months to heal? The unit command team are being dicks. The Soldier should be clearing already.

That makes no sense. Your command is F!@#$D up for doing something like this. I would leave that up to the Soldier if he wants to pass it or not.

Seems vindictive, since it serves no useful purpose whatsoever.

No. Under 30 days he is a loss. Any injury in this 30 days the Branco of service is responsible for and the chain of command should be held accountable. Unless the service member is in a critical shortage slot and placed on stop loss, then they would be involuntary extended but, that would be a rare circumstance.

Happened to me the day I ETS, have to do it.

No, ridiculous!

How about this:
