If we take an APFT while attending an Army School (BLC, SLC, etc) can the DA705(APFT Score Card) be transferred back to our units to put in our file?

My WLC/BLC, ALC and SLC APFT's didnt say anything except for me being on a perm. profile. Doesn't say "FOR RECORD" ...Where does it say a certain standard...or is it schoolhouse dependent? This is just my experience.

Unit does not have to but can decide to. I just attended the Pre-Warrant Officer Candidate Course this weekend at my states RTI(Regional Training Institute) and got my best score in my 7.5 years of service so my unit decided to upload the 705 into the system.

I just went to BLC and Sgl had access to DTMS and they have uploaded all our scores in.
The APFT test you take during NCOES is pat of the school requirement and not to be used as the record APFT for the yearly requirements.

Back when I served and was the assistant training NCO this would not have been a problem. But that was a long time ago.

wait - is not your schools NCO, and by Schools NCO, the CSM, requiring an APFT prior to you attending? thought that was standard operating procedure prior to attending any NCOES schools as failure of the APFT or H&W for these schools would be career ending. The APFT would then be a record APFT and no need to fudge the system by submitting your school 705

SSG Robert Perrotto I’ve been out quite a while but I always did a PT test with my unit prior to going to any school then did one at the school once I got there as well. Not sure if every unit does that though.

I think you're getting of topic from the original question. First to answer your question - yes it is a requirement that you take an APFT prior to going to an NCOES. This is part of the pre-execution checklist that is submitted to your NCOES leadership upon arrival at the schoolhouse. Now to the original post since it is a requirement to take the APFT while at the NCOES; the question was can your home organization accept the results of that test even though it was administered by the schoolhouse....and the answer is it would be discretion of that unit command since there is no regulatory guidance prohibiting such a thing.

SFC (Join to see) - I can see where you are coming from, but I just do not see the point - you had an APFT prior to attending, administered by your chain of command. If your school APFT was significantly better then the one prior, which would only had been a couple of weeks prior, if that, then I would question whether the SM in question gave it their all and was only "checking the block"

I hear why you’re saying but as you have taken a few APFTs somedays you just don’t have it. That doesn’t mean they didn’t give their 100 but maybe they just feel short. SSG Robert Perrotto

A pt card from school shouldn’t be used back at your unit but I have seen some get away with it
