If you know your soldier has a fever, do you still make him take a PT test? Even when soldier still has one on record last 6 months?

Me? No. Higher than me? Yes. Many times. I argued until they put me at Parade Rest. Then the PA chewed me out when I took them to the Aid Station. Then I dimed out those who made me make the soldier do the APFT.
I’ve also been that soldier.

No. You cannot. If you know your SM has a fever or is sick then you are negligent if you make them take the APFT. It states it clearly in the manual on taking an APFT if they are sick they are not to take it.

That is my thought process. We as NCO's should be making those calls and looking out for our soldiers. If they are still within regulation, why make them take an apft and take a chance of them failing when they never have before.

A fever, probably not, coughing, hacking, chills, fever- all signs of a troop in trouble- send on sick call immediately. Its called caring for your people, study it!
