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 experienced the same situation twenty years ago. So, I did one pushup, one situp, and walked the two mile run in an hour. I had a terribly ate up COC and worked for an alcoholic section Sergeant who hated me with a passion. Being glad to get out of that gagglef*** of a unit was an understatement. After that, I told young people to stay away from the military because they screw you on your way out the door. Being in that unit was a horrific experience and was the very definition of toxic!

Three days for the freedom bird they called a alert. Out of habit I got up and went about my buisness till I reached for my TA50. stood in the hallway till my plt Sgt showed and told me to stay out of sight

Someone has failed to do the risk assessment on this. Your Unit Admin is going to be pissed if this soldier gets hurt during the PT test. The LOD paperwork will be a pain in the behind, depending on the severity of the injury your higher headquarters is going to get involved. There is nothing that can be done to the soldier of real significance if they fail the PT test that close to ETS. A PT FLAG is a transferable FLAG, it does not trigger an undesirable reenlistment code. A soldier getting hurt that close to ETS could result in a bad evaluation for someone for a supervisor or Commander.
If this is a NG or Reserve unit this soldier if hurt seriously could end up voluntarily extending their contract and receiving fulltime pay and allowances while waiting for their injuries to heal, (or after a year the IDES process kicks in then about another 12 to 16 months.) It is a bad idea to mess with soldiers about to ETS "to prove a point" it can cost the "point prover" their career.

i would look for another command to go to?

Part 1 and 2 already taken? If they have been, then Command is in the WRONG to make a PT test happen. They need to read up on the AR's. After Part 2-you are a LOSS and that COC is a brain dead group. Sounds like a few idiots in 2/43 ADA in 2009. They tried that crap on a few that had Part 2 c complete and CSM took them to his office quicker than a Shawn Michael's Super Kick took Marty Janetti to the ground.

he/she does not need to pass since it wont be needed for the future . i think also it is harassment to require taking the test .

But I think irs best for him/her to take the Pt test and past, however, later join the guard or reserves with good standing while serving active duty! But if he/she has a medical problem, take the test document and after ETS if theres an injury file a va claim related to the injury!

I can only say that for a year after putting in my retirement papers I was not required to PT, I did but wasn't required to.

He shouldn't be taking an APFT at this point. Do yourself some research, find it in the appropriate regulation and present facts as written to your NCO support channel.

Hell no. He should start clearing post in a week, what the hell is a PT test gonna do? They can't keep him from leaving if he doesn't pass it, additionally if he gets hurt how is that gonna help. Tell your command to get a clue.
