If my profile still states that I can't ride in military vehicles, can my PSG make me get in a Stryker?

I am currently on a temporary profile that states that I cannot ride in a military vehicle or wear any equipment. Today as were about to leave for a field rotation (I do not mind going but i don't want to break my profile) My PLT SGT called the PA and had him change my profile so it says that I can wear my ACH. But my profile still states that I can't ride in military vehicles. Can he make me get in a Stryker? Im assuming he can't and I have been searching through the regulations and can not seem to find anything. Could someone possibly show me something to steer me in the right direction? I don't mind going to the field I don't think its that bad. But I don't want to break my profile and have my condition get worse as the result.

If your profile states no military vehicles....and a Stryker is a military vehicle...then don't ride in it. I would recommend a visit to your provider and have it updated to state NO TACTICAL VEHICLES. Once this profile is updated, provide said copy of your profile to your PSG, your PL, your 1SG, your Commander, your Training/Readiness NCO. And, as for what you need to read up on, start with AR 40-502, Medical Readiness.

Sounds like a bad profile has been written if it states "cannot ride in a military vehicle". Whoever wrote that profile needs to be more clear in what you can and cannot do. Providers write bad profiles all of the time.
Here's a good article (although a little dated) that provides some clarity around profiles, and refers to some resources that may be helpful.

Temporary profile: Interpretation biggest challenge for leaders
There are two categories of profiles – temporary or permanent. Today, we will focus on temporary profiles. Our office receives numerous calls in reference to the physical profiles.

a "military vehicle" would include military versions of civilian vehicles, like pickup trucks and sedans. LTC Broom and SFT Livingston hit it spot on. The profile should specify types of vehicles. if it states "Military vehicle", it is far too broad

WTF- If you can't ride in a vehicle, then you should be on bed rest, and NO NCO can force a WO to change shit unless it is wrong. No O can force a med change unless they are a higher Med O.
