Is It necessary to have a Soldier take a PT test for His/Her ETS Award?

I refused mine before retirement. I told them to keep the award because one day after retiring, it meant nothing to me. I still got the MSM.

Wow, unit morale much? That's poor leadership. If I was the soldier ETS ing, I'd tell them to stick the award. There's absolutely no reason to mess with a soldier this way, even if he was Joe Shitbag.

No, as long as he hasn’t failed the previous one

For an ETS or retirement award to be approved, no it's not required.

What the hell is an ETS award..... is that basically a you did your job so here's a cookie award? Holy crap on a crap sandwich.

I was ETSing from the Reserves my last drill just happened to be the same as our PT Test. I was told I had to take it. I took the test. Command wasn't very happy with me when they saw my score. Zeros across the board. I did one sit-up, one push-up and walked a very slow two miles. Needless to say I did not get a end of tour award. Really didn't care about that as that is not why I joined the military. I joined because I was patriotic. I left after 13 yrs and two deployments.

Is there any reg stating or anything stating I have to take another PT test in order to ETS? I have already received my ETS orders and I'm currently in the process of clearing .

As a Soldier, you are required to follow the orders of the officers and NCO's appointed over you. Regardless of the reason, if you are instructed to complete a APFT, then complete the APFT. I swear that the discipline in the military is sadly lacking these days.

Is it in line with a published/posted standard? Is it inline with an AR, is he/she due for one? Are they coming off a profile? Did he tick of the 1SG?

I'm not an fan of awards, so I'd take it, no promise to pass, and ajust pass the tape. Go on with my life, my award is my DD-214 at the end of the day really.
